Human beings are worthy of the protection of the law because we write the laws.  It is as simple as that. 




What makes any human being a person?  The concept of personhood was invented to justify killing human beings before they are born.  It is philosophical sophistry.




No.  According to the law, all human beings are persons. The philosophical slight of hand that attempts to say that persons and human beings are two different things came about in the 1970's.   Roe is a court case that says that unborns are not persons but acknowledges that at some point they may be considered to be persons at which time, roe collapses in upon itself.  But court cases aren't law.  There is no law that distinguishes between human beings and persons which is really why the abortion debate exists.  Had law been written that denied the right to live of human beings that are not yet born, then "we the people" would have had our say as opposed to 9 unelected, unaccountable judges making the decision in lieu of the legislative process.
