provide equality to all people‚ and we believe in the virtue of justice. For this reason‚ the idea that “the right against torture is not inalienable” is false. I agree that the Just War Tradition gives inherent worth to all people‚ but it cannot be combined with the Forfeiture Theory because we do not have a just cause to harm non-combatants whom are no longer actively taking up arms against us. It is not necessary to harm people who will never again be in a position to harm us. Moreover‚ there is ample

"As of today‚ the law of our nation will acknowledge the plain fact that crimes of violence against a pregnant woman often have two victims‚" Bush said before the signing of the measure.
