I don’t know about them, but I can tell you what I would do if I were in that position.

All officers of government in this country, in every branch, at every level, have as the first obligation of their sacred oath the protection of all innocent lives within their jurisdiction.

If I were elected to the office of President of the United States, I would keep my oath.

Justice Blackmun, in Roe vs. Wade, admitted that “of course” the child in the womb is protected by the Fourteenth Amendment, if they are a person.

Since it is self-evident that they are a person, my first act as President, after having sworn the oath, would be to publish a presidential finding to that effect.

My second act would be to ask for the resignation of anyone in the executive branch who would not act accordingly.

My third act would be to order the closing of every abortion facility in the country, as per the explicit, imperative requirement of the Supreme Law of the Land.

“No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law.”

“No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

That’s the platform I ran on in 2012.

Personhood amendments ran into other troubles because of penalties they would require or invite over situations like unimplanted zygotes. The idea has been thought of, however do we want to raise federal cases over every miscarriage as well. Trying to allow for such cases would be difficult without leaving openings for purposed abortion, without facing the abortion issue directly.

Abortion is what needs to be stopped. Trying to sidle up on that from a different angle is to invite difficulties we never needed.
