"MR. FLOWERS: This Court has been diligent in protecting the rights of the minority. And, gentlemen, we say that this is a minority, a silent minority, the true silent minority. Who is speaking for these children? Where is the counsel for these unborn children, whose life is being taken? Where is the safeguard of the right to trial by jury? Are we to place this power in the hands of a mother and a doctor? All of the constitutional rights, if this person has the person concept. What would keep a Legislature under this ground from deciding who else might or might not be a human being, or might not be a person? QUESTION: Well, generally speaking, I think you agree that up until now the test has been whether or not somebody has been born or not, and that’s the word used in the Fourteenth Amendment. MR. FLOWERS: Yes, sir. QUESTION: That’s what would keep the Legislature, I suppose, form classifying people that have been born as not persons. MR. FLOWERS: Your Honor, it seems to me that the physical act of being born – I’m not playing it down, I know it’s -- [Laughter.] -- a very momentous incident. But what changes? Is it a non-human and changing, by the act of birth, into a human? Or would -- QUESTION: Well, that’s been the theory up until now on the lawbooks. [Laughter.] MR. FLOWERS: Well, in other words, it has been the theory that we have, deriving from non-human material, a human being, after conception."
