Anywhere I said I didn't believe the fetus is a person? Please point that out to me.

I believe in the original Constitution. Since abortion was legal in every state, up to quickening, at the Founding and generally for many decades thereafter, it is obvious, at least to me, that the Founders did not see the pre-quickening fetus as a person.

Therefore I'm not justified in reading into the Constitution what I wish it had said.

Abortion was illegal in every state at the time of the Constitution. Granted, it was only a misdemeanor before the "quickening," but this has more to do with the understanding of development.

References please.

The ONLY places I've ever seen these fables is on pro-abortion websites.

So, you don't find "equal protection under the law" in your reading?

Let me make this simple, do YOU believe abortion is constitutional (not right or wrong, just constitutional)? YES or NO.
