Kudos to O'Malley (the other one!) | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: The reason the society cannot grant legal protection to the unborn is that no one from the right to life movement has offered a bill to do so that deals with the problem of making first trimester embryos, including those who have miscarried, legal persons. Beyond that, there is the question of punishment for mothers and grandparents - which no one seems to want to mete out, but would be necessary if first trimester embryos were considered people.  As for the Death Penalty, life without parole is still the same thing, if not worse if the prisoner is held in SuperMax facilities with no human contact, although for some, holding them in General Population is equally problematic at they may kill again - and society has the obligation to protect prisoners as well from those who are dangerous. Indeed, the problem of abortion is that the child may be an actual danger to the health of the mother or an economic danger.  Resolve that danger and abortion will dramatically decrease.
