Either they’re persons or they’re not.
If they are, even Blackmun, in the Roe vs. Wade majority opinion, admitted that they are protected by the clear imperative words of our Constitution.
If you think they’re not? Then you are in agreement with Blackmun. He and his colleagues dehumanized the child, and are directly responsible for more than fifty million barbaric killings.
I am not debating the evils of abortion but rather the likelihood of the passage of a particular bill. I think that an all or nothing approach was the wrong maneuvering and that a bill that more people could get on board with, like defining a person as someone with a heartbeat would have been the increment more suited to getting what we want out of 63. the problem with 63, regardless of how much we agree with what a person is, is that most people don’t and a smaller step with regards to a definition would have been better.... kinda like climbing Everest on day one.
