THE 1973 ROE V. WADE<\/em> OPINION REVEALS THAT ESTABLISHING PERSONHOOD<\/span> FOR THE PREBORN\u00a0AT FERTILIZATION, WITH NO<\/span> \u2018EXCEPTIONS\u2019 , IS THE KEY TO ENDING<\/span> CHILD-MURDER BY \u2018ABORTION\u2019.<\/strong>
\n[ However, Roe v. Wade itself is a fraud, denying preborn personhood, and making a ‘strawman’ argument with the 14th Amdt.]<\/p>\n

Roe v. Wade<\/a><\/em>, 410 U.S. 113<\/a> (1973)\u00a0 <\/strong>(Opinion published January 22, 1973)\u00a0 Findlaw.com<\/a>
\n“The appellee and certain amici argue that the fetus is a “person” within the language and meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment.\u00a0 In support of this, they outline at length and in detail the well-known facts of fetal development.\u00a0 If this suggestion of personhood is established<\/span>, the appellant’s<\/span> [ pro-abortion ] case<\/span>, of course<\/span>, collapses<\/span>,<\/strong> [410 U.S. 113, 157] for the fetus’ right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the Amendment<\/span>.\u00a0 <\/strong>The appellant [ pro-abortion side ] conceded as much on reargument. … ”\u00a0 [ emphasis added ]

THE KEY<\/span>, CRITICAL<\/span>, FIRST<\/span>, CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUE IN ROE V. WADE<\/em> (1973) WAS WHETHER OR NOT\u00a0THE \u2018FETUS\u2019 (PRE-BIRTH HUMAN BEING), WOULD BE RECOGNIZED IN LAW AS A LEGAL \u2018PERSON\u2019:<\/strong><\/p>\n

[ Note<\/span>:<\/strong>\u00a0 American Constitutional Law even recognizes Corporations<\/em> <\/strong>as legal \u2018Persons\u2019, but not<\/span><\/em> preborn Human Beings !!! ]<\/p>\n

Excerpt from transcript<\/a><\/strong> (edited) of Reargument ( October 11, 1972 ) of Roe v. Wade<\/em> before the US Supreme Court:<\/strong><\/p>\n

US Supreme Court Justice:
\n“And the basic constitutional question, initially, is whether or not an unborn fetus is a person, isn’t it ?”\u00a0 <\/strong>[ p. 827<\/a> ]<\/p>\n

Mr. Robert Flowers (Assistant Attorney General, State of Texas):
\n“Yes, sir, and entitled to the constitutional protection.”\u00a0 <\/strong>[ p. 827<\/a> ]
\n<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>
\n<\/strong>US Supreme Court Justice:\u00a0 “And that’s critical to this case, is it not?”\u00a0 <\/strong>[ p. 828<\/a> ]
\n<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>Mr. Robert Flowers (Assistant Attorney General, State of Texas):\u00a0 “Yes, sir, it is. … (continued).”\u00a0 <\/strong>[ p. 828<\/a> ]<\/p>\n
