There is no such thing as a “smallest citizen”. There are only citizens, and all are equal under the law.
The Constitution does not recognize a fetus as a citizen. You want to work to change this, fine. Then yoyu will have a solid footing for making abortion illegal, but what I am saying is that is taking the long, long, long way around.
If you change hearts so that people don’t seek out abortions there will be none, regardless if they are legal. That’s reality.
Am I in favor of women making their own decisions- HELL YES!!! I am a conservative!!! I am also a Catholic, so I work to change hearts so if they choose to bring the child into the world- nothing to do with GOVERNMENT!!!!
“The Constitution does not recognize a fetus as a citizen”
Oh wow! You said all I need to know. Fetus is a word used to describe the stage of development of a human being. It has been co-opted by the left to dehumanize a baby in the womb. Your use of ‘fetus’ in that sentence is very telling.
The Constitution also does not specifically name an infant, toddler, or adolescent. You will notice that it does provide liberty for them AND their posterity. What is a baby in the womb except for the posterity of our nation?
“We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and OUR POSTERITY, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

elvis-lives, since you think the government should not make abortion illegal (as it was throughout the history of our Republic until recently), then are you also opposed to the government prohibiting euthanasia? And if not, why not?
Our Constitution does not allow you to murder non-citizens.
Thanks for the ping Mom. Did you ping the Viking Kitties?
Citizenship has NOTHING to do with the inherent right to life.
If a fetus is not a person, what is it? Do you think there's some chance it might develop into a giraffe or a zebra?
You’re not in favor of women making their own decisions to steal your car.
