2013-2014 #5 - Definition of person and Child 

The people of Colorado want to enact "protection" of pregnant mothers and their unborn children. They wish to do this by making unborn children categorized as an actual "person". The Colorado wrongful death act must include unborn children as human beings. If someone was to kill a pregnant woman, the offender should be accountable for double murder. 

Discussion questions:

-What happens if a mother tries to kill herself and by doing so she kills her baby ?

-In this case would a woman be charged for murder if she was to abort her baby ?

-How will this affect abortion laws, and abortion in general ?

The law is known to the common man, as a set of rules we all must follow to keep things in order and civilized. Technically all rules in sports, jobs, and even games are the laws of those activities. Laws give a sense of order to humanity. What we can define as the law is, what is believed to be right or just. Although throughout history the law hasn't always been just, the law will always continue to change. There will always be controversy on the death penalty and there will always be racism and segregation in some way, even though there is the Jim Crow laws. Laws act to regulate the actions of a community. Laws can be found in constitutions, legislation, and  judicial opinion. Laws have always acted as guidelines of morality and it will always be like this.
When did laws actually become official ?
Who decides when laws should change ?
Is the international law actually followed ?
