the state to interpret all laws as granting civil rights to unborn children was blocked by U.S. District Court Judge Douglas Rayes — an appointee of former President Barack Obama — as he believed the term “personhood” was too vague.
The 2021 law was previously blocked in part by a U.S. District Court for its provision banning abortions for children with survivable genetic abnormalities. The Grand Canyon State has two laws partially prohibiting abortion, one from 1901 that bans almost all abortions and another signed this year banning abortions after 15 weeks — both of which allow for abortions if the baby is deemed a threat to the life of the mother.
For Rayes, even legal abortions may be considered a crime under the “personhood” language. Indeed, abortionists might be “left to guess whether their conduct could be criminalized under a maximalist application” of the “personhood” language.
AHHHH HELLO. THE UNBORN IS PROTECTED. ITS THE 14th amendment states child in the womb.
Yeah, sure. Personhood is vague, like Trans, like Queer, like Bisexual and like Non-binary. People are so full of doo-doo. They think they can change the definition of words to try to control the narrative. They will not succeed for much longer. November is a comin'! Can't wait!
