Stating that unborn children ought to be legally protected as persons throughout America is a lost cause?

I don’t see it at all. Throwing it to the states will bring about the modern day Kansas/Nebraska act.

No, your hopes of a statist solution is a lost cause. My goals are 100% aligned with yours. Check my profile and "In Forum" posting for the last 15 years on this site (welcome newbie).

The Fedgov is not the place to adjudicate this. There's a plethora of reasons for this stance.

Many state laws have been raised to the Supreme Court level - setting a precedence. There are FAR, FAR better methods of protecting individual liberties then tilting at ever morphing windmills.
