Hi Kristen,

On the Contrary, my post never mentioned the legality of abortions, or whether or not I supported such notions, and honestly I rarely spend much time talking about them as its been a long standing battle with no end in sight. However since you provided a quote from the Declaration of Independence, I thought I'd take a moment to weigh in. (We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. ) The word men means everybody. It also states that everybody therefore has a right to life. So the question then becomes, "Does a living being before birth not possess those same rights to life"?  Or another question would be "Is a living being before birth simply not considered a person"?
