Again, Mr. Silverstein, in calling those concerned about
EVERYONE's human rights fanatics imposing their ethics on
everyone, displays the usual myopia by focussing on one party
in the issue without considering EVERYONE, such as the fetus.
Whether the fetus is human or not is indeed the question, for
a definitive answer would terminate this discussion.  Society
already imposes a form of ethics on everyone by outlawing theft
and murder and fraud, and the question is not whether such things
are wrong, but whether the fetus comes under it's moral and legal
jurisdiction.  If humans are being killed, we want to stop it.
If that's fanaticism, then I gladly accept the term.  I'm in good
company.
