Given that the common sense meaning of person is "human being," I agree that all the Court has to do is to include the unborn child under the meaning of person. He/she is thereby give the right of due process. This would not eliminiate abortion entirely but it would end the pro miscuous use of abortion as birth control. A simple hearing in which the woman would have to show cause why her child should be killed would achieve this purpose.

Sadly, that is not historically how 'convention' is changed.
