Triage and the Personhood amendment

At the scene of a train wreck the doctors practice "triage,"
The injured are divided into 3 groups;
1)Those that will die no matter what you do.
2)Those that will recover without your help.
3)Those that may or may not live,  
depending on the help you give them.
 
Obviously, you should deal with the last group  
and forget about the others.
 
Let's apply the "triage' way of thinking  
to the unborn who are being aborted.
We can get the public to go along  
with the claim that,"the fetus is a person,"
a human being with arms and legs, a human face!
 
But the embryo is another matter, altogether.
The opposition to "The embryo is a person" is just too strong.
We risk the Personhood amendment being  
defeated - not getting passed -
because of the embryo.
 
So we should separate the fetus from the embryo,
Saving those who can be saved.
