Actually, look at my post #10. If Roe v Wade is correct and the 14th Amendment only applies to *legal* persons, then none of the Constitution applies to either fetuses or Blacks. So while it is illegal to have a *legal* person be subject to “involuntary servitude”, no Blacks are considered *legal* persons so the prohibition on slavery doesn’t include Blacks as slaves.

IOW, if Roe v Wade is correct (or binding, even), then any state in this country can allow Black slavery. Just like they can allow the killing of pre-born children. Or the killing of any other biological person who is not explicitly acknowledged in the Constitution as being a “legal person”. Who’s next? Women? Jews? Handicapped people? Dissenters? If Roe v Wade is binding, then any of those groups could be defined out of *legal* personhood by any state in the country.

That is of course why I am in favor of reversing Roe.

I trust the good sense of the American people, acting through their legislators or through the constitutional amendment process, to deal with abortion just as they have dealt with murder, rape, arson and other crimes against life.
