"It is useless to clarify the rights of persons when SCOTUS doesn't acknowledge the personhood of the preborn."
The SCOTUS has a problem. The Constitution deals only with "born" persons. It's right in there, especially in the 14th amendment.
By specifically mentioning persons "born" in the United States as citizens, that amendment pretty much locks in the position that a person is someone who has been "born."
It's going to be a tough job to get the Justices to stray away from that wording, which is why the fight against abortion is done from a different angle.
That may not be right, but it is the problem.
Thanks, MM. What you say makes a lot of sense.
