Harvard Law Journal Documents Unborn Babies are Constitutional Persons, Part 2

The Common Law and legal history of both Great Britain and the United States reveal that from the 1300s to the mid-1900s, babies in the womb were recognized and protected as “persons,” as “human beings.”  Also during the 1800s, both nations faced the truth that Africans and others with black or brown skin color were “persons” equally created in the image and likeness of God, and both nations ended slavery.  Joshua Craddock wrote a Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy article documenting the parallel history of protecting babies in the womb and approving the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guaranteeing equal rights, not only to former slaves, but the right to life of preborn children.
