A baby is a person, A child is a person. A teen ager is a person. A
young adult is a person. A middle aged fellow with a Harley is a
person. A seasoned citizen is a person. An oldster is a person. A old
person..is a person.

What do the above all have in common with a human zygote? They are
all the same person in different stages of its life cycle.

That's a very lovely opinion. For you to have.

Interestingly that is not how the constitution views the
issue.

Jim has a good point. Though at the time it was written, I hardly think the
issue of abortion was in the framer's minds. When they thought 'person',
the concept of someone weedwacking then sucking the remains of a baby out of
a pregnant woman wasn't an issue.

But then they were OK with the concept of serfs and slaves, so maybe it is
OK to drown a kid in the bathtub.
