Judge Andrew Napolitano: Saying Unborn Babies Aren't Persons Is 'Akin to the Judicial Denial of Personhood to Blacks before the Civil War'

Napolitano sees that answering the question "is the baby in the womb a person" as the key question in the fight to end abortion, especially since the Declaration of Independence states that the right to life is "inalienable" and since the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution is clear that no state shall "deprive any person of life."

Wade and outlaw abortion. (Image: YouTube /via LifeSiteNews)

"Is the baby in the womb a person? Of course, she is," wrote former judge Andrew P. Napolitano, a senior judicial analyst at Fox News Channel, in a Feb. 11 piece published at Fox News. "The baby has human parents, and her body contains all the genomic materials to grow into human childhood and adulthood."

"The denial of personhood to babies in the womb is akin to the judicial denial of personhood to Blacks before the Civil War," he added.

Napolitano wrote that the 1973 Supreme Court Roe v. Wade decision that allows a mother to choose to abort her preborn baby has as its "legal cornerstone" the "absence of personhood."

"The opinion offers that because philosophers, theologians, scientists and physicians cannot agree on when personhood attaches, then neither will the justices of the Supreme Court. Thus, Roe declares that the baby in the womb is not a person. Yet, legally, if the baby in the womb is a person, then a host of constitutional protections insulate the baby from being killed by her mother and her physician," he wrote.

Napolitano warned that the pro-abortion Biden administration will do its best to insulate Roe from being overturned by the Supreme Court, currently stacked with conservative-leaning judges thanks to the addition of three judges by the pro-life Trump administration...
