Will I need to legally change my name to "Your Fetus" or can I just redefine words however I wish, North Dakota style?

I grew up in a Petri dish, but back then we called it a city. Now I live in the wilderness, which used to be called the wilderness.

One more time: we don't care what your "feelings" are about this issue. We don't care if your fake "science" pretends otherwise. There is NO SLAVERY in this country, and you cannot force a woman to use her body in a way she doesn't want to use it in.

Umm ... would this also apply to sperm, if it was contained in a Kleenex or maybe a sock? Asking for a friend...

“It’s a standard that’s been applied for centuries to determine the life of a human being,” Gaustad told a three-judge panel of the 8th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, which heard oral arguments on both cases.

For centuries, I believe the standard was a two-part test: (a) wait and see if the mother died; and if not, (b) let the baby be born, and wait and see if it died.

Outside of North Fucking Dakota, things have progressed since then. I guess Daniel Gaustad, Esq. didn't get the memo.

The 12th century seems about right for this fucknut, so I'll go with Ibn Zuhr's <i>Kitab al-Taisir fi al-Mudawat wa al-Tadbir</i>.

(Might as well asplode his empty head with a Muslin book.)

In the Teabagger-Xtard-wingnut world, the "Judeo" part is a meaningless introductory phrase . . . just like "A well-regulated militia."

Bu what about the standard that’s been applied for centuries to determine the price of a human being? Where's the respect for <strike>tradition</strike> our heritage?

In Sparta and Rome the father had to recognize the baby. If not, they would either throw it off a cliff (Sparta) or leave it in the woods fit fate to decide (Rome). Have yet to see this century old custom come back.
