Personhood is a legal concept?  You mean like the 3/5 compromise?  But I guess justice for those slaves was as equally unimportant to the Democrat Party back then as the victims of abortion are to the modern Democrat Party, but hey, who needs justice if doing what's right is so inconvenient for some.
Abortion is murder.  Murder should be a criminal offense in all its ugly forms.  But hey, if nobody else is gonna fork over their money - money they need for their own family but who cares? - to pay for these unwanted kids, then I guess we're just better off looking the other way.  Is that what you're saying? Speaking of the smell test, that kind of thinking is just morally putrid.
The problem isn't that conservatives want people to be responsible, it's that liberals don't like being held accountable for their behavior.
