...insurance runs to end Boston College’s hope for a rally. The Crimson won the game and Murphy solidified her spot on the top line of opposing teams’ scouting reports for the rest of the year. Her three home runs against the Eagles were her 14th, 15th, and 16th bombs of the year. The first one set a Harvard single-season home run record. The third set an Ivy League record for most blasts in one game. In the following contest, the Crimson beat Dartmouth, 2-0, riding the bat of Murphy once again. Her fourth...

All of its recent platforms have declared that "the 14th Amendment's protections apply to unborn children."

If "unborn children" are a protected group under the 14th Amendment--like blacks, women and so on--abortion is unconstitutional. A state couldn't legalize abortion even if its citizens wished to. Women who procure abortions and doctors who perform them would have to be prosecuted for murder, just like a woman...
