Do you agree with such nonsense?

The fact that the human person’s physical earthly existence begins at the moment of his or her biological inception or creation is scientifically so far beyond debate now that any argument to the contrary doesn’t even pass the laugh test.

Of course not. But to get around the 5th A and Due Process Clause of the 14th A, the Courts have defined a person as one who has been born or is in the process of being born.

The odd thing about Roe v. Wade, is that while the majority opinion says that is is unsure as to when life begins for the purposes of constituional protection, it then goes on to itself make this conclusion by constructing the trimester framework. A framework plucked out of thin air that had all the hallmarks of a piece of legislation without a preamble to it.

Later, embarrassed by this opinion, in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, they dropped the trimester famework, but still went onto hold what it called the essential holding in Roe- that denies the right of constitutional protection until post-viability.
