Are babies PERSONS, Mojave? A yes or no answer will suffice.

Apparently not.

Yes

Well, that makes you worse than Blackmun. He at least tried to maintain the illusion that he cared about the Constitution's clear provisions which protect innocent persons.

He said, "They're not persons, so you can kill them."

You say, "They are persons, but you can kill them anyway. States are not bound to protect unalienable rights."

I say they're persons, created in the image of the One Who created them. That means that their right to live is unalienable. With the founders, I understand that natural rights, of which the right to life is foremost, preceded the existence of this country or our Constitution, and that all American republican governments, at every level, were devised and empowered by the consent of the governed to protect and secure those rights.
