Here's why a federal judge ha blocked Arizona from using a law requiring state laws to be interpreted to grant 'personhood'' rights to an unborn child.
Howard Fischer Capitol Media Services A federal judge has blocked Arizona from using a year-old law requiring state laws to be interpreted to grant"personhood'' rights to an unborn child, at least as it applies to abortion.
"What that something might be is a mystery, or as put it, 'anyone's guess,' '' he said."And that is the problem.'' Jennifer Sklarsky, an attorney with the Center for Reproductive Rights, who argued the case for the doctors, praised Rayes in a statement for"blocking this law from being used to create an unthinkably extreme abortion ban.''
Rayes said state laws"make it crystal clear'' that someone performing an abortion is not committing murder. Moreover, Rayes pointed out that state law defines"unborn child'' as the offspring of human beings from conception until birth, and then defines"conception'' as the fusion of human sperm and egg.
