If the unborn had the full protection of persons under the 14th Amendment, equal protection would require that killing them be treated as intentional homicide, in other words as a serious crime. We send people to jail for serious crimes. No distinction between abortionists and the women who pay them would be sustainable. You couldn’t punish the former and not the latter any more than you could punish the hit man but not the Mafia Don who hired him.They will only vote for someone who will advocate the impossible. They demand that the first step be one that is not going to be taken in this country.Sometimes I despair of the pro-life movement. Victory is close at hand, but many pro-lifers seem too childish to grasp it.
Rather than looking at the big picture, and the overturning of Roe V Wade as the important first step in that big picture, they'd rather hold their breath and demand instant gratification.
nobody is against overturning roe v wade. but first you have to have nominees that don’t end up like souter and they also have to be approved by a pro-life senate.
Now, how do you get a pro-life senate? well you have this big national movement for federal legislation that these senators can vote for and pro-lifers will be energized to elect them.
