I never trust statements that include absolutes but do not come with proof. Please show your source for your comment that , "no hospital has been willing to give them admitting privileges. "

Sarcasm aside, the liberal obama administration has been no slouch in the area of burdensome regulations - I give you obamacare as an example.

I certainly agree although I would mention that Good Friday is officially observed in 14 states. However, I was referring to the beliefs of the poster to whom I was responding when she said that until birth, the life of the mother is paramount.

There are already laws in all 50 states dealing with a Kermit Gosnell situation. This was a clever way to limit abortions. Besides the unintended consequence of people going black market for abortions they're going to have anyway, I wonder if now other medical procedures that non-doctors have been performing will be scrutinized.

EEG not EKG

EKG reads heart beat and rate. That is discernible at 12 weeks.

EEG shows brain activity. At 12 weeks a fetus only has a brain stem and protocerebellum.

26 to 27 weeks is when they become bilaterally synchronous and you start to see the capacity for functional pain perception (whereas general response to painful stimuli occur aroudn 20 weeks)

20 weeks is when you generally see the first burst of EEG activity and the development of the connections that will eventually lead to the capacity for functional pain perception. There are places that have claimed EEG activity at 12 weeks but from what I have read that may be a false positive because the connections for it to mean anything have not been developed yet. To put it another way it is like building a rail depot and not installing any tracks to it

The reason why you can't is that facts are "is" statements. Laws are "ought" statements. You need something to bridge the cap between the "is" and the "ought." If you aren't going to use religion to do that, you have to suggest something else.

This goes to the heart of the failure of a materialistic outlook on the cosmos.

These principles are all but meaningless. Everyone has different opinions about what these things are and how we should go about obtaining them.

E.g. we want liberty but every law places a restriction on my liberty.

That "all men are created equal" is not given as a fact. It depends on a pre-conceived philosophy that must be based on something else.

They are not meaningless. They are general principles that have been fleshed out over more than 2 centuries by Congress, the people and the courts. They have well-developed legal meanings today.

If they are meaningless, so are many religious propositions like "love your neighbor as yourself."

fiogf49gjkf0d
"Love your neighbor as yourself" is a meaningful statement. It has a subject, a predicate, and is of the imperative type.

"Life," "liberty," etc. are not a meaningful statements. They are terms, and terms whose definitions, like you say, need to be fleshed out. They do not lend themselves to any discernible action, by themselves. The way in which they are fleshed out will depend on something that is not merely factual having an effect.

"Love" is equally a term whose definition needs to be fleshed out. And what's the discernible action that it requires? Charity? Niceness? Tithing? Volunteer work? Paying taxes? Turning the other cheek? Giving all my assets away? Sex? Beats me.

Life, liberty, et al., are words in a sentence in the Declaration that has a subject and a predicate as well. Your distinctions are distinctions without a difference.

Yes, those are words in a sentence but you do not refer to the sentence. You refer to these words themselves as guiding principles. Yet there are times when all of those principles are ignored, for example: imprisonment (deprived of liberty), capital punishment (deprived of life).

And yes, the statement about loving your neighbor may need clarification regarding what the speaker means by love, but once that clarification is made, a meaningful statement has been provided.

All of which are reflexive, indicative of a protocerebellum.

Nor can a 12 week old fetus think reason, eat, see, hear etc. or surive on its own.

A newborn baby can take nutrition provided to it on its own. A 12 week fetus cannot.

The EEG thing about the 12 weeks is based on the most rudimentary low level functioning. It is indicative of a nervous system. It is not indicative ofa fetus being viable.

EEG in this discussion means full brain functioning, also known as viability.
