In the text of Roe, Blackmun admitted that if the unborn are PERSONS, they are protected by the Fourteenth Amendment.

A) Do you believe that the unborn are persons?

B) Do you agree with Blackmun that if they are persons, they are protected by the Constitution’s provisions?

C) Do you agree with Ron Paul that while they ARE persons, states have a right to allow the killing of these persons if they want to?

Of course I agree they are persons, who fall under the protection of the Constitution as concerns any other person’s right to life.

I do not believe that the federal government is given the authority to REDRESS remedies as to “acts of violence” committed against ANY innocent person.

Those are matters always left to the states. As I earlier stated, the death penalty, a social issue, is also left to the states. I would not have the federal government dictate the remedies, for all states, concerning acts of violence committed by others against innocents.
