This clever article makes the lawyerly point that personhood has nothing to do with abortion. If abortion is wrong, is so because it aborts a fetus, full stop. The fetus is not a person; it's a fetus, a potential person that members of a good society may or may not decide should not be extinguished. The insistence on making elective abortion into something else (murder or healthcare) is just rhetorical smoke. The act is sui generis.
