Not quite. Harry Blackmun purposely ignored the word person as it was applied in 1868. Blackmun simply wanted to "legalize" the killing of children before birth and did not care about the truth or the consequences.
My hope and prayer is that President Trump will appoint enough justices to SCOTUS to overturn Roe. And for a bigger miracle: one day a pro-life amendment to the COTUS.
Here's Bork:
Blackmun invented a right to abortion....Roe had nothing whatever to do with constitutional interpretation. The utter emptiness of the opinion has been demonstrated time and again, but that, too, is irrelevant. The decision and its later reaffirmations simply enforce the cultural prejudices of a particular class in American society, nothing more and nothing less. For that reason, Roe is impervious to logical or historical argument; it is what some people, including a majority of the Justices, want, and that is that.
Roe should be overruled and the issue of abortion returned to the moral sense and the democratic choice of the American people. Abortions are killings by private persons. Science and rational demonstration prove that a human exists from the moment of conception. Scalia is quite right that the Constitution has nothing to say about abortion.

That is my prayer as well. I also pray that one day abortion won't even HAVE TO be outlawed, because it will be UNTHINKABLE.
Robert Bork would have made such an excellent Supreme Court Justice!
So I guess Bork thought the preamble to the constitution does not count where it reserves these rights for all of us and our posterity?
