The Constitution takes for granted that every human being, every member of “the people,” is a person.

The disjunction between a “human” and a “person” is a post-Constitutional fiction of totalitarians, who, having introduced it, exploit it to murder whom they will.

I don’t disagree with you. And now the fiction is law by the back door of privacy rights of all things. Anything left unsaid and not minutely defined is going to be the crack for litigation and legal argument. Assumptions are mocked openly by the Left. What the framers “knew” as a given is now shredded. No argument here.

Justice Scalia doesn't see a Fetus as a “person”, at least when it comes to the Constitution.

He also doesn't think that Abortion is a Federal Issue, so he vehemently opposes the rationale of the Roe v Wade ruling.
