But we’re talking about the Consittution as it exists NOW.

The Constitution as it exists now, and as it has always existed, says that its purpose is to secure the Blessings of Liberty TO OUR POSTERITY.

Think long and hard about the meaning of the word "posterity."

The Constitution as it now exists, and has since it was first amended, guarantees in the heart of the Bill of Rights that no innocent PERSON can have their life taken.

The Fourteenth Amendment, added later, reiterates and expands on that protection.

Even Blackmun, the author of Roe, admits that if an unborn child is a person, they are to be protected by the Fourteenth Amendment.

Every honest person will now admit that the unborn child is a person.

Why?

Science has advanced since 1973. Because of what we now know about DNA, there is no longer ANY question: THE UNBORN CHILD IS A PERSON! Once conception occurs, a new, unique individual exists. Unique in the history of mankind.

I don't know why all I keep seeing are these tired, weak, irrelevant arguments that have one and only one grace: they they exhibit an ingenuity born of desperation.

Even Blackmun, the author of Roe, admits that if an unborn child is a person, they are to be protected by the Fourteenth Amendment.

And IF wishes were horses, all men would ride.

But wishes aren't horses and, whatever they may be morally or scientifically, fetuses aren't people UNDER THE LAW, and never have been. You may want to make them this, and I can see why you want to do that, but this is an idea that is born of emotion, and is ultimately extraordinarily unwise.
