The criteria for protection under the explicit provisions of the United States Constitution is not whether you can supposedly “feel pain.” It is whether or not you are a person.

“No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law.”

“No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

So tell me, is the child under twenty weeks a person, or not?

If you have any regard for the oath to support the Constitution, that’s really the only question you have to answer in deciding whether to support these particular “laws.”

You are making the perfect the enemy of the good. As long as Roe is hanging over state legislatures, they can only pass restrictions such as this.

The law in many states already holds that a fetus IS a person....thus you can be charged with homicide “the killing of a person” for causing the death of a fetus in an AUTO accident...

Your “person” argument is moot already.

What you really are is pro-infanticide under the color of “liberty”...period.
