A leading Catholic figure is among those who submitted a brief in a Supreme Court case regarding a pro-life measure in Mississippi. The brief was submitted by Professor Robert George from Princeton University and another professor from Oxford University. They say there is historical evidence that unborn children were understood to be persons by the framers of the 14th Amendment. Professor George joins to tell us more about the history and evidence he provided in his argument. He discusses the Equal Protection Clause and Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment and how those can protect unborn babies. The Due Process Clause is the same that was used in Roe v Wade. The professor shares how the court's interpretation of that clause may have changed and whether he believes the Roe v Wade ruling may be narrowed or overturned.
