Clinton Gaff

[Ben]

On "Meet the Press" this morning, Clinton said, "The unborn person doesn't have constitutional rights".

That should initiate some interesting debate. Instead of using "fetus" she used "unborn person". Once you identify someone as a person, don't they automatically have unalienable rights? The descriptor for the person should be irrelevant. Unborn, black, gay, mentally deficient, or to invoke Godwin, Jewish...

No, this is part of the plan. Make them "persons" again, and force them to buy health insurance. Besides, "fetus" is dehumanizing. "Undocumented baby" is preferred.
