Slight detour--those people who rant about human rights and, dependence on another person infringing upon that person's rights, don't give a rat's ass when they demand that it is an obligation to help the helpless, and taxation for doing that should be looked upon as a privilege, or something along those lines.

Great point. I guess that means that because all of those "asylum seekers" are dependent upon our tax dollars, can we abort them?

This is one of many nonsensical and tragic court findings.
Just like the Dred Scott case finding that Blacks could not be U.S. citizens and other piss poor and tortured ideas.
It's a medical FACT that the unborn child is a human being and people "persons" are by default human beings.
And you keep pointing out that the unborn child is NOT the mother.
so by very simple and obvious reasoning an unborn child is in fact a Person.
There's nothing else they could be.

When the supreme court starts trying to parse human beings as NON-persons it's at that point dehumanizing individuals. Seems we should be far beyond the point where the U.S. courts dehumanizing people/persons arbitrarily as "savages", "slaves", "enemy combatants" . In an attempt to deny people basic human rights.

It's incredible to me that the same court can somehow recognize a corporation as a person but somehow has to scratch it's head about the idea that a child with mind and heart beat a half inch from birth is a person.
It's really is just cultural blindness and dehumanization.
Just as sad as when people in earlier eras insisted that Women weren't REAL human beings or persons as well.

There's no rational argument for it, only hand waving and hot air blowing against the obvious living human beings.

As far as the text of the law is concerned
here are 2 legal definitions of person. I'm not sure how the SCOTUS managed to skip these, and instead covered there eyes to not see the obvious.
Black Law Dictionary
PERSON

it's not rocket science...
