[Servant of the Cross]

From the dark lord himself, Justice Blackman, from the majority opinion of Roe v Wade ...

The appellee and certain amici argue that the fetus is a "person" within the language and meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. In support of this, they outline at length and in detail the well known facts of fetal development. If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant's case, of course, collapses, [p157] for the fetus' right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the Amendment. The appellant conceded as much on reargument.

Great quote. Well, there is precedent for the government of various states treating by law the unborn as people. In the state of California, Scott Peterson qualified for the death penalty BECAUSE OF THE SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCE OF DOUBLE HOMICIDE. He killed his wife Lacey in cold blood, and she was in her second trimester with their son, Conor.
The state considered him a person or Scott wouldn’t be on Death Row.
