So all the evidence so far says your idea doesn’t work, either?

No. It just means there are too many still playing the same old word games that you are, and putting their pet constitutional theories ahead of what is self-evidently true.

"Either life is always and in all circumstances sacred, or intrinsically of no account; it is inconceivable that it should be in some cases the one, and in some the other." -- Malcolm Muggeridge

"The traditional Western ethic has always placed great emphasis on the intrinsic worth and equal value of every human life, regardless of its stage or condition. This ethic...has been the basis for most of our laws and much of our social policy. The reverence for each and every human life has also been a keystone of Western medicine. Since the old ethic has not yet been fully displaced, it has been necessary to separate the idea of abortion from the idea of killing, which continues to be socially abhorrent. The result has been a curious avoidance of the scientific fact, which everyone knows, that human life begins at conception and is continuous, whether intra-uterine or extra-uterine, until death."

-- California Medicine, September, 1970
