   >>> life of her baby. Smith was nine weeks pregnant when she died from   
   >>> multiple blood clots in her brain.

   >>> “Her fetus’s heart continued to beat,” writes the professor, as if it

   >>> What is stunning (depressing, annoying, telling) about Mutcherson’s

   >>> is never only about abortion. It is about the exercise of control over   
   >>> all pregnant women, regardless of whether they plan to carry their

   >>> broad agenda of legal personhood for embryos and fetuses.” My comment:

   >>> should be saved if at all possible. The monsters! This is the “It isn’t

   >>> objective analysis. Anti-abortion advocates think that living human

   >>> imprecise laws written by legislators who generally lack medical   
   >>> expertise, and the inability of politicians to fully predict every

   >>> mother’s death as the “catastrophic event,” but rather the brain dead   
   >>> woman’s body being kept functioning so her baby can be born. I can   
   >>> conceive of valid arguments for why this should be considered bad policy   
   >>> or a situation requiring special legislation. But what’s the   
   >>> catastrophe? The author is incapable of comprehending that in a   
   >>> utilitarian analysis, a Kantian analysis favoring human life, and   
   >>> reciprocity principles (“If you were the fetus, what would you want the   
   >>> hospital to do?”), the situation is thoroughly defensible.   
   >>> “Emory University Hospital, once Ms. Smith’s place of employment, would

   >>> However, according to Ms. Smith’s mother, the hospital informed her   
   >>> that, because of the fetus her daughter was carrying, it could not   
   >>> legally withdraw the artificial means of keeping her body functioning.”   
   >>> My comment: So? The professor thinks that’s an apt analogy: the dead   
   >>> woman’s organs can’t be harvested without her prior consent, so they   
   >>> will be allowed to die along with her. But a liver isn’t a human being.

   While wonderfully hungry in the Holy Spirit, Who causes (Deuteronomy   
   8:3) us to hunger, I note that you, Michael, are rapture ready (Luke   
   17:37 means no COVID just as eagles circling over their food have no   
   COVID) and pray (2 Chronicles 7:14) that our Everlasting (Isaiah 9:6)   
   Father in Heaven continues to give us "much more" (Luke 11:13) Holy   
   Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) so that we'd have much more of His Help to   
   always say/write that we're "wonderfully hungry" in **all** ways   
   including especially caring to "convince it forward" (John 15:12) with   
   all glory (Psalm112:1) to GOD (aka HaShem, Elohim, Abba, DEO), in   
   the name (John 16:23) of LORD Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.   
      
   Laus DEO !

   Be hungrier, which really is wonderfully healthier especially for   
   diabetics and other heart disease patients:   
      
   http://bit.ly/HeartDocAndrew touts hunger (Luke 6:21a) with all glory   
   ( http://bit.ly/Psalm112_1 ) to GOD, Who causes us to hunger

   removing the http://WDJW.great-site.net/VAT from around the heart
