Just because a bunch of people vote for something doesnt make it moral or right. People voted for slavery. If Nevada voted that it was ok for you to own another human being would you be ok with that?
Well, no, because the 13th Amendment specifically prohibits slavery.
The problem with you Holy Rollers is that you want to make women slaves by forcing them to have babies they don't want.
Now, here's the thing. The 13th Amendment abolished slavery, but the former CSA states just found a new way around it called "Debt Peonage." Here's how that worked. You convict someone (usually black) or a minor offense. Then you sell off his debt for that offense to a private concern. But "gotcha", the private concern could then charge you for room and board and keep in you servitude. This practice did not end until 1942, when the US Congress outlawed it because it was a bad look going into WWII.
In short, slavery really didn't "end" until everyone agreed it should end.
Again not a legal standard of when the fetus gains rights.
Why do you think that will change much of anything.
I give you, the 18th Amendment. A bunch of Holy Rollers decided that if you put Prohibition in the Constitution, everyone would find Jesus and stop drinking. Why, America would be a much better place once we've imposed an unwanted morality on people and....
Oh, shit. People still wanted booze. People were willing to ignore the law to get Booze. And after a mere 15 years, everyone recognized reality, passed the 21st Amendment to overturn the 18th, and we all tried to pretend it didn't happen.
Now, how does this apply to Abortion. Assuming you guys make it a national law making Globby more of a person than the woman he is inside, you still have the problem that Globby is inside a woman who has the ability to do something about it. Unless you are willing to arrest women and put them on trial for having abortions, they will still try to seek illegal abortions, just like they did before 1973.
