Bio
Tommy De Seno was Tea Party before the rest of America boiled the water.
This proud Catholic hails from Asbury Park, NJ (the town that rips the bones from your back, it's a death trap, it's a suicide rap, we've got to get out while we're young).
The only chink in his conservative armor is his job as an evil trial lawyer, transferring wealth from fat cat insurance companies to injured people thoughout New Jersey.
Speaking of Jersey, don't call him North or South Jersey. Tommy's a clamdigger from the Jersey Shore - sand between his toes and white stuff on his nose.
When not making welching insurance companies pay on the bets they made and lost, or shredding riffs on his guitar, Tommy is a Little League and Pop Warner coach. He's married and has fruitfully multiplied to head a family of 6.
His writing credits include over 400 published columns in the triCityNews (Asbury Park, NJ), on FoxNews.com, on Tucker Carlson's Daily Caller, and now, ready to prove he can piss in the tall grass with the big dogs, on Ricochet.
He is the editor of www.JustifiedRight.com

I'm interested in where the authority comes from for you to decide at what point someone becomes human, and who beside you actually gets to make that decision.
Also, you need to switch to "person" because that is what you are attempting to describe. "Human" is a settled scientific designation based upon DNA
You seem to have already reached the conclusion by asking at what point "someone" becomes human. I see the question as being when something becomes a human being. As I've stated, I think it is self-evident that there is a distinction between human life and a human being. Individual skin cells are human life, but are not themselves human beings.
Once again you give your conclusion.
Please tell me where you derive the authority to make the determination, and who else gets to make the determination. Must we look for consensus, or will individuals be allowed to make their own conclusion on how far along personhood is established?
Tommy, your argument has flipped here to the opposite of your earlier "human life begins at fertilization" assertion.
How so? I'm asking Sal about his idea, not mine.
