    Full Legal rights come into effect for natural persons which means a person who is born in the US or is naturalized. The unborn have no natural right to ownership.

    Full citizenship comes into effect for natural persons. The limitations on the government and specific rights enumerated in the constitution apply to all people, not just citizens. Foreigners can and do own property within the US and the government must (is supposed to) respect their right to be secure in their persons.

    Abortion hangs on the question of whether personhood (or some lesser rights or protections) should be extended to fetuses, and nothing in our constitution or historical legal frame work offers any cut-and-dry answer to that question.

    Lower the skill of doctors? How can allowing a doctor to try and treat anything they come across be detrimental? What the fuck? Where does "allowing" come into play? You don't need laws to allow things. Laws restrict; laws punish; laws force; laws do not "allow". And indeed, by increasing the demand for doctors while eliminating the natural sign of that demand, an increase in price, any "universal" health care system must compromise the quality of care.

    No system is perfect, but a system that denies treatment based on financial criteria is one that it inherently unfair. That system is called the universe. It's called the laws of fucking physics. It's called you can't get something from nothing, and it's called "scarcity exists." It's called life, and life is unfair (Flansburgh et all 2000).
