On the thought experiment. The intention of abortion (chemical or invasive) is to terminate the child. That is the desired end result. The customer would not be very happy if the child were to be alive at the end of the procedure. The intention of the man is not to terminate the violinist.
One is active and intentional; the other passive. The man could have prevented a death, but choose not to continue act. Even the idea of silence gives consent was never very persuasive to me.

if you don't want abortion to be constitutional then it add an amendment saying that it's unconstitutional. i'd cut the violinist loose unless i was getting paid. PAID! sorry but i'm a jerk and i'm poor.

I'm not a fan of the violinist argument. I think it's more important to focus on the rights of an individual over their own body, but the war on drugs really detracts from that.

@jdcremin "one cannot infer, from this wording, that being unborn precludes personhood." Fyi, the constitution CLEARLY claims 'All persons BORN...'. Hence being unborn precludes CONSTITUTIONAL PROTECTION even if they ARE a 'person'.
"The cop-out is to ignore the ethics" Fyi, the law is not concerned with the ethics.
"Consider the charge of double homocide (pregnant women) for clarificaton: here, the fetus is considered a person." *facepalm*

Wait, they answer "yes" to the question regarding the violinist? WTF?

Actually it most definitely is not,which is WHY the abortion debate is going so strong.
I think your camp thinks that the rest of us secretly see zygotes are babies too, and are lying about it: We do not. There is indeed a difference between the developmental stage of a zygote, an embryo, and a fetus (this is why they have different names!)
YOU see a zygote equal to a grown human. To some it's only after quickening,after sentience kicks in, or even birth. That's why there IS a debate.

Zygote, embryo, fetus, baby=same person.
A person is a person no matter how small.
The court go it WRONG!

The 14th Amendment talks about those who have been born. The Court must deal with the law as it is, not as it wishes it to be.
