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 14th Amendment.

Bravo. You have identified exactly why Roe v Wade should be overturned.
Does the Supreme Court have enough courage to overturn it?
Is it a technicality that the 14th says “born” and not conceived, or does that already cover everyone from the beginning of life? (I feel sure the Founders had ALL human life in mind, but they probably never imagined how evil people would become) Seems to me the 14th has been subverted by an unjust law, but like with slavery, an amendment might have to be proposed to clarify the rights of the preborn???? (proposed by 2/3’s of House & Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by 2/3’s of State Legislators) I have looked it up, but still trying to understand how these things work….
He said this back then?… Guess it was always collapsed but he, nor anyone else was paying attention….
