I’d be opposed to abortion even if our Constitution was silent on the matter. But the Constitution is not silent: no person shall be deprived of their life without due process. There were only two ideas in the Roe opinion that I agreed with. One was the sentence which states that if the fetus is a person, then “of course” the Constitutional protections apply. I’ve been disappointed, albeit not surprised, that no judicial nominees have been questioned about whether and when human beings change from being nonpersons to persons. The science of DNA has been clear: every one of us is unambiguously identifiable as a human being from the earliest stage of our biological development. Every one of the 60-million plus surgical abortions since Roe has deprived (or at least attempted to deprive) an individual human being of their life. Due process? I haven’t heard of single abortion that involved due process. Check your favorite dictionary for the definition of person.
The science is very clear. Has a human female ever given birth to a non human? No! So the end result of gestation not interrupted by disease, trauma,, or malnutrition will always be human. As that is the case it is mandatory then that those seeking to end the life of the entity in a woman’s body prove beyond any doubt that they are not ending the life of an innocent human. Without that proof every abortion is the taking of innocent life. That is not theology. That is biology.
