Perhaps the founders intended the unborn to be counted as 3/5ths of a person.

Do you have any evidence for that js1138?

Is it likely the Founders would have regarded unborn children as slaves?

Just wondering....

I should think, my dear boop, that it is more likely that Liberals and Socialist/Marxists would regard the unborn as 3/5s of a person, or even less. Perhaps we ought include in that bunch those who are convinced that we humans, Founding Fathers and slaves alike as well as the rest of us, are nothing more than an unguided assemblage of chemicals and random discharges of weak electrical energy. Whoops! On second thought, that’s all pretty much the same bunch in any event. My bad.

Some adults were regarded as less than human. I honestly don't know about native Americans. Were they regarded as citizens, being born here? Enquiring minds want to know.
