Big mess in the courts now. California has rightfully granted personhood to unborn babies in certain cases. That being the case, the 14th Amendment applies.

Now for the big problem. Equal protection would demand that baby A and baby B be afforded the same 14th Amendment rights if they are both persons.

Can't wait for the opinions of the justices from the State Courts right on up through SCOTUS.
