Are babies persons?

Yes. Is the federal government God?

Even the author of Roe vs. Wade, in the text of the decision, admitted that if the unborn were persons, they are protected by the clear provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment.

You're citing the "reasoning" of the worst and most dishonestly reasoned decision in the history of the Supreme Court as the basis for your position for transferring state police powers to the federal government for definition and protection? You're proposing to bolster the very decision that has killed millions of babies.

Nonsense. It wasn’t the reasoning of Blackmun. It was an admission that in order to allow for abortion they had to strip away the humanity of the child to even have ANY way of overcoming the Constitution’s most explicit provisions.

I think those who admit that the unborn child is a person and yet think that in America that child can still be “legally” killed are worse than Blackmun. They’ve gone one more large stride down the road to the complete destruction of liberty in America.

That’s right. Liberty’s very premise is that government’s abiding and paramount reason for being is the protection of innocent human life. ALL governments. At every level.

The current ignorance of America’s most fundamental principles among the people, even here on FreeRepublic, is appalling.
