I agree with you. The personhood of the unborn child needs to be recognized, and the child would then be protected under the Preamble, 5th, and 14th Amendments to our Constitution. The object of our government is to secure the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to all persons. It would make no sense if some states are securing that right under certain circumstances and others are not. The unborn child still wouldn’t be recognized as a person with the right to life nationwide. It would be the equivalent of some states declaring black people persons worthy of life and other states declaring them “big blobs of tissue” able to be killed.
You’re right.
Some people seem bewildered by the concept, though.
I think personhood is key to undoing Roe. Others find very legalistic reasons to avoid this approach.
