PERSONHOOD IS ABSOLUTE!
PERSONHOOD IS ABSOLUTE!
“Our fathers, recognizing God as the author of human life, proclaimed it a ‘self evident truth’ that every human being holds from the Creator an inalienable right to live … If this right be denied, no other can be acknowledged. If there be exceptions to this central, this universal proposition, that all men, without respect to complexion or condition, hold from the Creator the right to live, who shall determine what portion of the community shall be slain? And who shall perpetrate the murders?”
~ Joshua R. Giddings, 1858, in reference to the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Yes, all people have a right to live.
But, all people also have a right to kill anyone and anything which is inside their bodies. Part of the meaning of the word "my" in the phrase "my body" is, I get to decide who else and what else gets to live inside it, and when, AND HOW LONG.
The second right wins. Abortion is justifiable homicide.
