God isn't real, humans made him up for power.
There is a higher power.
To the OP... since the SCJ has pointed out that brain dead people can have the plug pulled on them and her response to the subject at hand proves that she has no discernible brain function, can we abort her now?

More than likely, it will get shot down because the crazy way it was written could open the door to more crazy laws that are aimed at other rights, such as gun rights..

No, they are all real...
Just pointing out just how different self defense is seen when it comes to pregnancy...
the real issue is when life begins not when its viable on it's own
The court didn't even get to the constitutionality of the actual abortion ban
or a ib activist

Here's a thought. Take a bald eagle egg, the National bird and walk on the steps of the Capitol and break it on the steps. Guess what? You are going to jail. Why? Its just an egg right? It would be determined that it was a bald eagle, which is illegal to kill. So why isn't an unborn child just as important. It is more important!!!
Or have a dog that is pregnant and decide you don't want that litter of puppies and take the dog to the vet to have the unborn puppies killed. Imagine the outrage across the country if you did that. Seriously. You would have death threats and have to go into hiding.

Can you terminate a brain dead person that you know will have a full return of brain function starting within months?

A "friend' now no longer a friend; Was complaining his fathers hospice over ran his insurance causing him to go broke or not have an inheritance.
The next morning; my mother asked to me to inform him, that his father died.
It's been several years and I haven't heard from him since.
I suppose it depends on the person... His sister would have been like hell no don't pull the plug, he would have obviously been I don't care if you yank it out I've had enough.
But in all honesty isn't there that one "relative" where it's like yeah find their next birth and yank the cord on that one too... If that weren't the case; I guess people, wouldn't be sentenced to more than one life sentence, without the possibility to escape it called parole.

I dont think anyonecares about the uterus, keep it, get rid of it, whatever. It's the human life that's inside the uterus people are concerned about.

This is going to get ugly, babies, fetuses are not brain dead. That's a weak argument on that woman's part. On that note I am a Republican but I am not a conservative, I believe in a woman's right to abort under certain circumstances. Incest, rape, too young, complications with baby or it results in a Mothers death. I do not believe abortion should be used for birth control, I met a woman who used it for birth control, her next pregnancy she had complications, it not supposed to be used for that.
This woman who says a fetus is brain dead is an idiot, babies are not brain dead, or they woul not live past 1st trimester. Weak! Has anyone seen a real abortion being performed, I have, you see the baby moving and it's parts being ripped from it. So yeah it's alive. I know this but still think we should keep abortions.

It is sad that this topic can not be elaborated better due to the obvious agendas of some behind the anti abortion pushing.
100% agreed, Marg. The agendas have become so divided, IMO due to each side taking extreme positions to counter the other, that there really is no more middle ground. One side wants all abortions outlawed, no excuses, no exceptions, while the other wants abortion on demand for any reason regardless of whether it is murder or not.
The rest of us are sitting in the middle trying to figure out how we got here.
Is more than just opinions is also life experiences of spiritual connections.
Agreed. My experiences and connections form my opinion, as I am sure yours do. I just wanted to point out that verse to you. How you choose to interpret it is your prerogative.
