Well, the anti-choice folks who insist that “life” begins at conception — and who have passed legislation to that end — are going to have to now figure out what to do about the consequences of that action.
We all know that the anti-choice gang are not really all that eager to adopt the babies who can’t be taken care of, what do they think of this?:
Lawyers for a deported Mexican woman who is eight months pregnant are seeking her return to the United States to protect the unborn baby’s health. They also say under federal law the fetus is a viable human being and thus may be eligible for citizenship rights.
… [Lawyers] cited the Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004, in which unborn children are granted equal protection under criminal law. Carrillo said that since the fetus is 8 months and would be viable outside the womb, it should be treated as a child born in the United States.
“The child was conceived in the United States and would have been born in the United States except that the mother was deported. Through no part of his own, the unborn baby is in Mexico,” Carrillo said.
