While this is good news it is also true that Justice Scalia does not see the unborn as legal persons as understood in the Fourteenth Amendment.

Here is a sample of what IMO is critical reading:

No present or past Justice has ever taken the position that the unborn child is, or should be regarded as, a “person” as understood in the Fourteenth Amendment, including the late Justice White, perhaps the most eloquent critic of Roe v. Wade.

They will sure have a hard time explaining that to God....

“OT-Duncan Hunter On The Importance Of Human Life From Conception

snip

“1. Right to Life Amendment:

I would amend the U.S. Constitution and provide blanket protection to all unborn children from the moment of conception by prohibiting any state or federal law that denies the personhood of the unborn. Likewise, I have also introduced the Right to Life Act, which would legally define “personhood” as the moment of conception and, therefore, guarantee all constitutional rights and protections, including life, to the unborn without utilizing a constitutional amendment.”

However, Roe v Wade set the bar at the point in time the fetus can surviveoutside the womb, even with mechanical assistance, the fetus is protected. Why doesn't some group of doctors/lawyers get together and define in terms of weeks, just when that is? I'm sure there is data out there where women give birth prematurely, the age of the fetus, and the survival data. Remember, when a woman gives birth to a premie, and wants that baby like most parents love their kids, the medical professions moves mountains to get that baby to survive.
