The logic is simple: the legislation correctly identifies the child in the womb as a human person and then fails to provide equal protection for every person, as the Constitution explicitly and imperatively requires.

In fact, it expressly grants permission for the abortionist to kill any child, as long as they do it on schedule.

Immoral, unconstitutional.

“No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law.”

“No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

Even Blackmun, in Roe, admitted that if the child is a person that they are “of course” protected by the Fourteenth Amendment.

Then he and his majority colleagues dehumanized the child.

Legislation like this doesn’t even bother with dehumanizing the child before it allows certain disfavored classes of persons to be murdered. They dispense even with a fig leaf.

In a real sense, morally, these kinds of bills are worse than Roe.

No, the worst kind is doing nothing, and actively seeking to defeat any attempt to make abortion illegal.
