LBJ attacks JFK for "absence" from Senate votes







Senator Lyndon Johnson addresses the delegations from Massachusetts and Texas at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles on the second day of the Democratic National Convention, July, 1960. Johnson refers to Senator Kennedy's absence from Senate votes while campaigning numerous times while extolling his own skills as a leader and his record of being present during those votes.

PRO-ABORTION ARGUMENT:
"The unborn isn't a person, with meaningful life. It's only inches in size, and can't even think; it's less advanced than an animal."



PRO-LIFE ANSWER:
Personhood is properly defined by membership in the human species, not by stage of development within the species.

A living being's designation to a species is determined not by the stage of development but by the sum total of it's biological characteristics--actual and potential--which are genetically determined... If we say that (the fetus) is not human, e.g. a member of Homo Sapiens, we must say it is a member of another species. But this cannot be.

Dictionaries define personhood as a "human being," "human individual," or "member of the human race." What makes a dog a dog is that he came from dogs. Both his mother and father were dogs. What makes a human a human is he came from humans. Both parents are human.

We must not be confused by statements such as Carl Sagan's:

Despite many claims to the contrary life does not begin at conception. It is an unbroken chain that stretches back nearly to the origin of the Earth, Billions of years ago. Nor does human life begin at conception; It is an unbroken chain dating back to the origin of species, tens or hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Sagan misses the point entirely. We aren't talking about a mystical connectedness to the hisory of the universe. We're talking about whether our unborn are human beings and whether they deserve to live or die. Carl Sagan notwithstanding, the beginning of each human life is not a process but an event--conception.
