Live Action founder and president Lila Rose recently sat down for an exclusive interview<\/a> with Josh Craddock, attorney, speaker, and an affiliated scholar with the James Wilson Institute. The two discussed the importance of legally recognizing all preborn children as persons deserving equal protection<\/a> under the law, as well as the future strategy of the pro-life movement following the overturn of Roe v. Wade.<\/em><\/p>\n

Legal personhood for the preborn<\/strong><\/p>\n

Craddock told Rose that while he has always been involved in the pro-life movement, much of his work began while advocating for the recognition of the preborn as legal persons in the United Nations. Though legally all human beings should be recognized as persons, legalized abortion has meant that preborn human beings have not been granted this status. He noted that every time there is a human being or groups of human beings who aren’t legally considered persons, it is a human rights injustice. In this way, the current plight of the preborn is much the same as slavery, as slaves also were not considered legal persons. Craddock explained that because preborn children are<\/em> persons, they should be legally protected under the 14th Amendment.<\/p>\n
