Even Blackmun didn't do that. A) He couldn't make laws. And B) Even he admitted, in the majority opinion, that if the child is a person OF COURSE they are protected by the explicit provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment.
The folks who are pushing this kind of lawless legislation are in fact worse than Blackmun.
-- Justice Harry A. Blackmun, Roe vs. Wade, 1973"The appellee and certain amici argue that the fetus is a 'person' within the language and meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. In support of this, they outline at length and in detail the well known facts of fetal development. If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant's case, of course, collapses, for the fetus' right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the Amendment."
She has a virtually unlimited license to determine whether the life of the child is protected. The Federal DOJ enforces this "Constitutional right." using local, State and Federal courts, guns and prisons.
We couldn't have passed even this law without exceptions in 2005. As I've told you before, it's a leaky, small life boat, but it's all we've got. We're making trip after trip, as we swim along side and push as fast and hard as we can.
You achieve no good shooting at us with a rifle while sitting dry on the dock with your freshly pressed shirt, waiting for delivery of your perfect dream boat.
With that 2005 prenatal protection law that defined the individual as beginning at fertilization, we moved closer to this year's sonogram law then the later law prohibiting the appropriation of State tax funds to any entity that pays for abortions even when the money for the abortions come from other taxing authorities like cities, counties and hospital districts, which does not recognize the rape and incest exception.
We will go closer to protecting the right to life of the child and to aborting the mother's "right to choose" whether her child is a person.
Your "scheduler" is still not really doing you any good.
(For others confused about that "scheduler" references, and since EV seems to want to fight several battles on several fronts, since he would take shots at me and Texas' prenatal protection law than talk about the original post, here's the history, from August, 2008:
However, since you want to fight several ethical arguments at once, What about "Thou shalt not bear false witness." I'm still waiting for an apology, btw, for this accusation against me:

To: EternalVigilance; cpforlife.org; Mr. Silverback; narses; All
To whom? Joe Pogman. After our scheduler talked with Beverly and Davida several times, I put Alan on the phone with Joe. I was sitting right there when Joe told Alan that the board said Alan couldn't speak because he was a candidate.
Lord have mercy!
*I* am Beverly and I never spoke to anyone from Dr. Keyes' campaign other than the man himself. On the day of the Rally, I walked over to him, introduced myself, reminded him where we'd met and told him again that my mother (a Baptist preacher's wife) had always said that he sounded like a Baptist preacher to her.
Davida does not work in the office, she's a Board Member, as am I, along with a judge, several business men and women, and other volunteers. I work part time in my job as a Family Physician in another town, and only go to Austin to testify, lobby and for meetings. I have never have contact with a scheduler for our events.
