#1 If they can prove that the sperm met the egg in the US, they might have a case ;-)

#4 "On the one hand, the left claims a fetus has no rights, but on the otherhand, the left claim an unborn fetus has rights and entitlements??? "

That's probably because the label "the left" doesn't refer to a single opinion or a single political attitude but rather to a whole spectrum of them.

Often their only common characteristic is that they aren't in "the right" of "the center". :-)

#5 The law says "born in", numb nuts, not "conceived in", so your fetus may qualify as a human being but it's not a US citizen.

NEXT!

#6 The LLL will use whatever argument it needs to further its cause. Inconsistancies and contradictions are just speed bumps to the goal. The end justifies the means, ITBO.

#7 If every pregnant woman who enters the US and then leaves delivers I gues the argument could be made that these children could have been born in the US but weren't through no fault of their own so maybe they should be granted citizenship as well. Hell, why not just grant citizenship to every child in the world. They weren't born here because they had no control over the circumstances of their birth.

#8 Holy Shait! You mean the INS actually deported someone? Quick someone better start selling heaters in hell -- I think its freezing......

This is so stupid. Is Edwards involved?

Do you think the judge issued the stay of deportation until the baby is born here?

Amazing, but it does happen, apparently.

#10 If the lawyers lose their case, can we deport them too?

Not really.
It's tiresome and boring what uniformity and conformity of thought there is on the Left, particularly when it comes to abortion and foetuses.
They've all drunk the abortion Kool Aid and only back off on babies in the womb being lifeless foetsuses when it serves one of their other purposes, as here, which is getting the warm body of an illegal alien on the Lib Dim voting rolls.
