This might be fruitless, but I'll try one last time: the point is not whether corporation are persons -- it's whether are protected by the 14th amendment.
Corporations were persons before this decision, they will always be legal persons -- i.e., bearers of rights -- as long as they exist. That's legally necessary. But it is not legally necessary for corporate persons to have the same protection as natural persons.
What you actually want your amendment to do it to specify that the 14th amendment only applies to natural persons.
Abolishing corporate personhood is something different. It means abolishing corporations.
Just saying.
