To the editor:
There were some questions asked about Issue One that is on the November ballot. I wish to try and answer those questions.
Question one was when does a clump of human cells legally become a person? If we found cells on Mars that were similar to cells at conception, we would say, "we found life on Mars."
In answer to question number two, Article 1, Section 1 of the Ohio Constitution Bill of Rights states: "All men are, by nature, free and independent, and have certain inalienable rights, among which are those of enjoying and defending life and liberty, acquiring property, and seeking and obtaining happiness and safety."
Without life we cannot have liberty, acquire property, or seek happiness or safety. If a pregnant woman is in an accident or killed by someone else, the person involved in harming the woman is charged with two crimes because two people are involved not one. But if the woman goes to have an abortion it is perfectly fine and no one is charged.
Who is speaking for the rights of the unborn?
I came across this passage of scripture and it speaks volumes: Ecclesiastes 11:5, "As you do not know the way of the wind or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child. So, you do not know the works of God who makes everything."
This passage was written long before 4D ultrasounds ever existed.
