-----
It is not science that dictates that personhood begins with birth, but
the law that prevailed at the time the Constitution was adopted, and
that was frozen into the understanding of the term "person" at the
moment of ratification in 1789. That was what the word meant then and
the only way that meaning can be changed is to amend the Constitution.
-----
1) It's not law that's being debated here. It's the application of
libertarian philosophy to a particular action.
2) Libertarianism and constitutionalism are not the same thing.
3) A philosophy, such as libertarianism, is universal. Even if your
constitutional reasoning is valid, it is only applicable to the United
States.
