The sad part is that the legislation, passed by "pro-life" Republicans, not only identifies the being involved as a human person, it says that you can kill them.

That is true, but one step at a time, Roe V. Wade will be overturned. The camel's nose in the tent that permitted abortion on demand and at any time that we have today was the exception of rape, incest and mother's "health". The Doe vs. Bolton companion ruling to Roe defined health as virtually any reason where the woman might suffer anything from discomfort to financial problems, even being too young was found to qualify as health. Why this allowed what we have today is that it disallowed the rights of the developing human being. If he could be killed because he was inconvenient or because of how or when he was conceived, then there would be no rights whatsoever recognized for him. Abortion must be outlawed unless there is no other way to save the life of the mother and those cases should indeed be rare.

There are steps forward, and there are steps backwards and over a cliff.

Codifying immoral, unconstitutional, lawless "laws" that say you can kill innocent persons is the latter, not the former.

"No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law."

"No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
