It was legislative exceptions to equal protection of the supreme God-given, unalienable right of the individual person that opened the door to abortion on demand, and it is exceptions that keep that hellish wide door open to this day.

No, it was a rogue court in 1973 that opened the door to abortion.

Explain why states had their own laws on the books then?

Texas legislators put a law on the books that treated unborn persons as much less than other persons. Which the Blackmun court used as a pretext for treating them as less than a human person, with the protections of the Fifth and the Fourteenth Amendment that involves.

Which is why I posted earlier:

“It was legislative exceptions to equal protection of the supreme God-given, unalienable right of the individual person that opened the door to abortion on demand, and it is exceptions that keep that hellish wide door open to this day.”

"The appellee and certain amici argue that the fetus is a 'person' within the language and meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment....If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant's case, of course, collapses, for the fetus' right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the Amendment."

-- Justice Harry A. Blackmun, Roe vs. Wade, 1973

The only question that matters, constitutionally, is:

Is the unborn child a person, or not?

I say it is self-evident that they are.

Blackmun said "no," while admitting that if they are, they are protected by the Constitution.

What say you?
