The Domino Effect

When discussing medical ethics questions that involve when a human being begins to exist, it is crucial that the starting point of our inquiry is empirically based, i.e., based on the accurate scientific facts of human embryology. The need for scientific accuracy becomes particularly clear when addressing the legal protection of the right to life of all human beings. However, there are some —including some Catholics—who do not understand the need for accurate language.

Blazing the trail for Personhood, California Style

Is it not amazing that we are forced, in our so-called advanced society, to defend the notion of personhood? Is it not shocking that supposedly bright people will not protect the most innocent and helpless person, the one in the womb? Have we not learned from slavery how to properly define a person? Have we learned nothing from Hitler’s Reich regarding the definition of personhood?

Delta Smelt Fish, Dolphins and Babies

As these whacked-out principles of secular bioethics evolve, it is of the utmost importance for all pro-life Americans to step up the drive toward human personhood. The distinction of who is and who is not a human person has never been so important.

Corporate Personhood – What it Means for the Pro-life Movement

It is alleged, because of the Supreme Court’s January 21 decision, that the present court is violating the tradition of the Court as it pertains to “reverence” for stare decisis. Those who criticize the court for going against precedent are placing stare decisis as an end in and of itself, rather than justice or constitutionality.

Aborting Human Persons Has Consequences

Over the years, it has become common practice among most members of the media elite and the bureaucracies of major medical organizations — not to mention the U.S. Congress and state legislatures — to ignore the reality of what abortion is while also glossing over the actual harmful effects of medical, chemical and surgical abortion. Why this is so does not need explanation; it’s called power over people conjoined with financial profit.

Raising awareness of Human Personhood now!

Today, more than ever, we must persist in this vein. We must do so through patient teaching and positive motivation, so that we bring as many Americans along with us as we can. By so doing, we are confident that America will witness a day when human rights are recognized for all human persons from their biological beginning to their natural—not imposed—death.

Human Personhood is imperative in the defense of life

In a legal context, a proper definition of the word “person” is of extreme importance. The United States Constitution uses the word “person” 49 times. On the other hand, it never uses the word “human being” or “human life” or even just “human.” The reason is quite simple: The Constitution is primarily concerned with rights, and term for one who is recognized by law as having rights and duties is “person.”

Personhood: It’s about Human Rights

We have to be honest and set forth the facts, while at the same time exposing the jaundiced views of those who have altered truth for the benefit of their income, their ideology and/or their perverse attitudes toward human beings and their value. …

James Pouillon: A Great Man Dies

James Pouillon did what he did because he knew the truth, and he wanted to share it with young and old alike. This is why he prayed, this is why he peacefully protested, this is why he rubbed some people the wrong way and why he died.

Noonan’s Subtle Subterfuge

Loonan did tell her readers that the birth control pill is an American icon. The word icon comes from the Greek word eikon, which means religious image. Icon can also be defined as “an object of uncritical devotion.” So it really isn’t a stretch to imagine that, like many of her genre, Loonan has a religious fervor for all things leading to promiscuity and permissive sexual adventures. After all, Episcopal minister Katherine Hancock Ragsdale has told the world that “abortion is a blessing.”
