"Stating that unborn children ought to be legally protected as persons throughout America is a lost cause?"

No, your hopes of a statist solution is a lost cause. My goals are 100% aligned with yours. Check my profile and "In Forum" posting for the last 15 years on this site (welcome newbie).

The Fedgov is not the place to adjudicate this. There's a plethora of reasons for this stance.

Many state laws have been raised to the Supreme Court level - setting a precedence. There are FAR, FAR better methods of protecting individual liberties then tilting at ever morphing windmills.

“The Fedgov is not the place to adjudicate this.”

Again, your solution is a redux of the Kansas-Nebraska act. It didn’t work back then, and it won’t work now. Why? The unborn child is a person, and recognition of this fact concerns the fundamental nature of the person. A person is a person, not because of the lines of the state - but because of what a person is.

I am not even saying that North Dakota, et al, should not pass laws where they can to regulate and eliminate abortion. These are baby steps. They have to be done. However, the ultimate goal has to be recognition of the personhood of the unborn in every state of the union.

“There are FAR, FAR better methods of protecting individual liberties then tilting at ever morphing windmills.”

No, there isn’t!
