Attach rights for human beings to the legislation.
The strange juxtaposition of two California ballot propositions didn’t occur to me until today. Prop 2 is intended, if supporters are to be believed, to give chickens used in agriculture more humane living conditions. Prop 4 would require, in some cases, parental notification that their minor child will undergo an abortion. Now, that doesn’t offer any specific protections for unborn human beings, but the fight over the proposition once again demonstrates that the Left wants no restrictions or conditions whatsoever on abortion, which destroys a human being, often painfully, and yet some of the same people want detailed requirements in how to handle chickens so they’ll be comfortable. Imagine if Prop 2 included a provision dealing with fetal pain.
