James Wilson

QUOTE: With consistency, beautiful and undeviating,
human life, from its commencement to its close, is protected by the common law.
In the contemplation of law, life begins when the infant is first able to stir
in the womb. By the law, life is protected not only from immediate destruction,
but from every degree of actual violence, and, in some cases, from every degree
of danger.
AUTHOR: James Wilson (September 14, 1742 – August 28, 1798) was one of the
Founding Fathers of the United States and a signer of the United States
Declaration of Independence. Wilson was elected twice to the Continental
Congress, and was a major force in drafting the United States Constitution. A
leading legal theoretician, he was one of the six original justices appointed
by George Washington to the Supreme Court of the United States.
