The question is - does our government have the Constitutional authority to say that same human being / child IS a person in one situation but NOT a person in any other situation.

Sure. Pro-lifers are allowed to convince government to do stupid things, like make laws proclaiming that zygotes are people. The big fallacy in your reasoning is how you think "person" is defined by government whim, instead of by reason, science, history and common sense.

You can convince government to pass a law saying an apple is an orange, but that won't make an apple an orange. Pro-lifers can convince government to pass a loopy law saying a zygote is a person, but that won't make a zygote into a person.

That's the problem with you righties. You "feel" that you can force reality to be whatever you want it to be, just by bribing someone into passing a law. The edicts of big government are the source of your belief system. In stark contrast, we on the left always work from a rock-solid foundation of reason and good morality.

Oh, there's another flaw in your "reasoning". Fetal homicide laws don't say that a fetus is a person. For example, you'd be penalized heavily for killing an eagle, but that doesn't mean eagles are people.

The charge for killing a child in the womb, under our fetal HOMICIDE laws is MURDER.

How does the charge of MURDER not trigger enough of the few brain cells you have - to conclude that the thing that was killed was an actual human being / person?
 
Can you be charged with MURDER for killing an eagle? Would a law that made it a crime of MURDER to kill an eagle be Constitutional?
