Unnamed Fetal Americans

(Little Rock, Arkansas) Here's a scenario to ponder. A pregnant Korean woman enters the United States on a visa, overstays the visa and decides to stay in the country permanently. At that point, the unviable tissue mass in her womb automatically becomes an unnamed fetal American, with all the rights and privileges of citizenship. The mother, however, remains an illegal alien.

Does this make sense? Not to me, but apparently the Arkansas Department of Human Services understands since it recently instituted guidelines defining citizenship in exactly that manner. I think.

In any event, we'll probably soon see a Fetal-American political lobby defending the rights of the unviable. Abortion advocates are already concerned.
