The SLED test: SIZE -- does size determine your humanity? A 2 yr old isn't less valuable than a 20 yo. because they are smaller. An unborn child isn't less valuable than a one month old baby. LEVEL - A 6 mo old is less developed than a 35 yo but that doesn't make them less valuable. Your development doesn't determine your worth. A person with intellectual challenges after a horrific accident isn't less valuable than they were before the accident. ENVIRONMENT: Living in China or Cuba vs the US, or CA vs FL, or in the body of the mother as a pre-born child or outside the mother's body after birth, doesn't make one less valuable than another. Environment doesn't change the value of the human. Degree of DEPENDENCY: The degree of one's dependency doesn't change one's value or legal rights. The newborn is as dependent as the unborn child, an elderly person can be as dependent as the newborn or unborn. Dependency doesn't diminish their rights or their humanity. All human rights should extend to the womb.

What is the language of a 1 month old baby? What will your language be if you get ALS and can't speak, much less swallow as your disease progresses? Or if you were the one in that horrific accident? What is their history, you ask? Their history is the development of a beating heart, sex, eye color and even the cells to develop their reproductive organs. Are you suggesting that the 6 month old child has arts, letters and sciences? The relevance of your question is, well, very odd. You either apply humanity to all humans pre-born and post-birth, or you don't. But Seth R is correct, that is how genocide and slavery and every other human atrocity becomes acceptable. Today there will be almost 2400 abortions. It's the #1 cause of death in the US -- well above and beyond any other.

"Words" or "worlds"? As a woman who believes in ALL humanity (just not murder) I wouldn't ever say that about other women. Uneducated? Yes. Misguided? Yes. It's not a binary choice, unless we're talking about life and death.
