The issue of "personhood"

Deliberately killing innocent human life, or standing by and allowing it, dwarfs all other social issues. Trying to avoid this fact by redefining when human personhood begins is simply a corrupt and corrupting form of verbal gymnastics.
- Archbishop Charles Chaput, in Render Unto Caesar

You see this "gymnastics" all over the internet on pro-abortion blogs and in comments on anti-abortion blogs. It's just semantics. And, if they really don't know, shouldn't they err on the side of life?
