No, literally you don't value the unborn. How can you value something that you would see brutally killed for no established reason? (Hint: You can't)
"I really value you, but if someone decides that their happiness requires you die then you gotta go. Don't worry though, I value you both equally." - Someone who doesn't value you
That cute little attempt at analogy doesnt work. Because it involves infringing on someone's right to life. The unborn has none. The govt has specified that it has none.

The great thing here, is that "I" dont decide for anyone. Only the woman impacted by that pregnancy makes that decision.
Who else is qualified? And based on what? The Constitution protects a woman from having her bodily sovereignty invaded by the govt.
I'm giving you credit for understanding that 'less' does not mean zero. Please dont disappoint me.
Would I love it if every pregnancy could come to term? Sure. But not at the expense of women's Constitutional rights, our bodily sovereignty, and our self-determination.
I do value them both equally. What I don't value equally if the horribly uneven burden you want to place on the two. On the one hand you have a 9 month pregnancy, on the other you have death... those are not equal.
Nope, you dont. Just writing the words doesnt make it true. Read it again. If you would violate a woman's right to her health, life, self-determination, and herConstitutional rights just to enable the exact same things for the unborn, you value the unborn more than women. This is a fact.
OTOH, you are in good company.. 99.9% of all pro-life people refuse to acknowledge this fact and leave the discussion rather than recognize that they really have no moral High Ground on this issue. They cant have it both ways, so they deny, then run off.
The government can "overcome her consent" to a great many things involving her life and her body. The government can also overcome the desires of others when those desires threaten the lives of others.
Yup, but they must have probable cause and due process in order to do so.
Pregnancy isnt a crime. What reason would the govt have to violate women's rights in order to force them into remaining pregnant?
And again, the govt is smart enough to value it's contributing members...the PEOPLE as written...more than potential contributing members which may never even survive to birth. When born...and equal (I note you completely ignored that paragraph about how they are demonstrably NOT equal, btw...yeah, if you acknowledge it you might have to address it!)...then they have the same rights as people.
