If it's the business of the states to keep people from murdering other people, why wouldn't it be the business of the states to keep people from murdering fetuses, which are a few months away from being people?
The basic problem is that the other mini-fiefdoms making up America, along with the Federal part of government, disagrees with their definition of murder. And so will the courts, yet again. This is not an approach to the Personhood debate that's worked in the past, so it's just a waste of legislative and court time.
And yes, I distrust the altruistic motivations of legislators attempting to throw up roadblocks to legal abortion because it makes them feel squicky inside.
I think I've been arguing this debate my entire adult life, including in person and I can say that the "crux of their argument" comes down to control issues(women doing things they don't like) and a frothy mix of sentimentality and superstition.
Given a fetus can't talk and that all the ones that advocate for their rights happen to be old rich white people who probably have three mistresses and one wife while simultaneously bemoaning the decay to marriage that would be gays getting married.....
