That only applies to what was considered a person at the time of the drafting. Unborn had no personhood.


And we know now, scientifically, that life begins before birth. The right applies to “life” not to a certain group that was considered alive at the time of its drafting.

Again, your argument is preposterous from a legal stand point and ignorant from a scientific standpoint.

The 5th amendment also grants to you a right to property subject to due process. In 1789, motor vehicles weren’t a thing. Yet, today in 2022 your property rights are applicable to your vehicle. Why? Because the right concerns “property” not “property as it was understood in 1789.”

The right concerns “life” not “life as it was understood in 1789.”

According to this decision and this court, constitutional rights are fixed at the time the text was granted. If that is the case with the right is a full grown woman and her right to decide whether to have a child, it applies to the unborn and their so called “rights.”

You want it both ways to support your very modern agenda.

Personally, I think the “textualist” view is and always has been bullshite. The constitution and the identification of fundamental rights is not locked in time and text to the constitution.
