Let us not forget, in the sweet mystery of Life, all persons, regardless of race or ethnicity, exist in relationship. What has been counter-intuitive for all who respect the sweet mystery of Life, is the claim that the child in their mother's womb is not their mother's son or daughter and thus not a person entitled to the full protection of our Constitution, and then continue to refer to the rights of the mother while denying there is a son or daughter.
