FREEDOM FORCE: Planned Parenthood CEO Says She Doesn’t Know When a Person Gets Constitutional Rights [VIDEO]

Written by Philip Hodges

I posted an article on Wednesday about Senator Tim Kaine’s abortion comments at the VP debate. I posed the question of whether Kaine would defend Andrea Yates who had killed her five kids by drowning them in the bathtub. As long as she had a doctor’s approval, would Kaine and other abortion proponents defend Yates’ “right” to abort her kids’ lives?
A few commenters weighed in, saying that the big distinction is that Yates’ five kids were persons Constitutionally protected under the law, and a fetus is not. Kind of like how slaves were not counted as persons, and therefore not afforded the same rights as others.
