Yes. Bad. Law. Those are the very badly written, irrational laws to which I am referring. ChuzRetard suggested that those laws won't be overturned because they are based on some other mythical US law that defines a person as a "human being" with no other qualifiers. I'm waiting for a reference to that law. I suspect I'll be waiting for a while, as I suspect it does not exist.

Well RvW is the mother of all irrational, badly written and unconstitutional law, so it makes sense that the laws that have to address it are confusing as well. Probably very frustrating for baby killers.
And the point stands, whether or not you agree with it, the laws do exist that define children in utero as persons, despite your assertion to the contrary.
You're right
Current law - badly written, and irrational - under specific circumstances, with contradictory caveats within the language of the laws themselves, define fetuses as persons. Which is why I am confident that, when we have a Supreme Court that no longer rules according to a conservative agenda, those laws will be overturned, and states will wither have to accept that fetusess are
not persons, or they will have to redraft those laws without the inherent contradictions - in other words, without the abortion exceptions. Good luck with that. I'd be willing to bet that not one of those "fetal homicide" laws will be passed without that contradictory clause. So, when that happens, when those laws no longer exist, what authority will you use to justify calling a fetus a person?
See, that's the problem with relying on laws, particularly
bad laws, to justify a position. Eventually, those laws will no longer exist. Where is your authority, then?
