Abortion bill in South Carolina

Here's a story about a bill in the South Carolina Senate that would extend the waiting period between an ultrasound viewing and an abortion from one hour to 24 hours... http://news.sc/2010/03/25/south-carolina-abortion-bill-advances-through-legislature/

I would be in favor of extending that waiting period to forever...

Here is yet another law which ends with “…and then you can kill the baby.” Why don’t we recognize, in law, that a “person” is a human being of any age or stage of development? Abortion would then be classified as murder (which it already is, even if the law doesn’t protect the victims of this form of murder). Section One of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution says, in part, that “No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” The dictionary definition of “person” is “a living human"(The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition. Houghton Mifflin Company, 2004. 26 Mar. 2010. Dictionary.com http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/person). A brand new, living human being is created at the moment a sperm fertilizes an egg. There is no doubt that it is alive; if it weren’t, it would not grow and develop. By looking at DNA, there can also be no doubt that this living thing is a human being. It is, therefore, a person, and deserves the full and equal protection guaranteed by the 14th Amendment.
