What Have the Personhood Folks Been Up To?
By Gina Liggett @ 10:00 AM Link

Let me bring us back to the fundamentals of human existence in a rational way. The right to life only applies to the living, born human being.

Ayn Rand, the genius novelist and philosopher of Objectivism cogently writes:

‘Rights do not pertain to a potential, only to an actual being. A child cannot acquire any rights until it is born. The living take precedence over the non-yet-living… Never mind the vicious nonsense of claiming that an embryo has “right to life. A piece of protoplasm has no rights–and no life in the human sense of the term… To equate a potential with an actual, is vicious; to advocate sacrifice of the latter to the former, is unspeakable…’
