They actively say that the constitution is outdated, and/or it is a “living, interpretable (to however they like)” document.
You are just as ignorant with your assertion that you know how the founding fathers would have felt. They did not have the benefit of the knowledge technology has given us, to say you know how they would have felt is asinine.
The definition of life didnt change. We just discovered when it really starts.
No it isn’t. I am just talking about what he said. No one is going to sit here and pretend they can read the minds of anyone, let alone our forefathers that are long since dead. It’s ridiculous. I’m not advocating for or against abortion, I’m just saying what he said was dumb.
Not necessarily because modern technology have muddied the citizenship clause:
In addition, we now have a better understanding of life, and with technology advancing as it has, we may get to the point where a woman isn't even necessary to carry a baby... which makes the entire birth side of things rather confusing as (for example) a baby grown completely in an artificial womb should still carry the same rights as one that was carried by a woman.
Additionally, if the founding fathers knew what we knew now about human development, I'm betting they would probably side with the conservatives and consider abortion to be murder.
That said, as high as the infant mortality rate was back in the late 1700's, I'm betting many of them would look at someone wanting an abortion as if it was a really bad joke.
People were more Christian then, and there was more respect for life than today. Abortion would have been unheard of.
Abortion has always been a thing - they just go about it openly, more frequently, and with much less risk to the woman's life today. They used to use certain plants, potions, throwing themselves down stairs, back-alley or 'clothes hanger' abortions, among other things.
Most women aren't willing to literally risk their own lives to get an abortion, which is why it was rarer back in the olden days. Now they do it & celebrate it as a badge of...something, but definitely not of 'honor.'
Nothing is more foreign to me than the thought of killing a child who is in (or out of) my womb. Most mothers would face a hungry tiger to protect her children from death.
