The HLA has become nothing more than an excuse for cynical, unprincipled politicians to do nothing.

If you believe that, then why are you so ticked off when Fred doesn't push for it, preferring an alternative that will actually WORK?

Again, you’re the one using the HLA as an excuse to do nothing. I’m focusing on the real issue: the Fourteenth Amendment personhood of the unborn as described in the Republican platform.

Giving up the primary reason for opposing abortion in the first place cannot be described as something that "will work."

Once you give away the Constitutional personhood argument, you have nothing left with which to even oppose Roe, much less end the practice of abortion in the states.

You people have everything backwards.
