You portray yourself as a constitutional advocate.

What is your basis for denial of rights to the 11 week old developing infant?

First, Roe is a poorly-reasoned decision, but it IS nonetheless the law of the land.

The privileges and immunities of citizenship do not vest until birth. 14A. Thus, a fetus has no such rights.

I have tried multiple times to explain the difference between analysis of that which the law SHOULD be and that which the law actually IS.

You never seem to understand the distinction. I have no reason to believe that trying again today would lead to a different result.

You mean the moral reality of your indefensible position? Yes, I can see why you don't want to look that in the face.

I am Pro-Choice, and I too get tired of seeing this silly-assed, disingenuous argument.

Your post is fair, albeit inaccurate. I did not say Roe was not "law of the land."

An unborn infant can be killed because not yet a citizen. Interesting.

Not what I said. I SAID that it is not entitled to the privileges and immunities of the US Constitution.

I have a broken hand and can barely type. I am NOT going to engage in this extended discussion. If you actually care about my views, you can search for and view PAGES of them and the reasons for them.

The right of an innocent to be born free from being terminated by another is certainly not to be determined based on "privileges or immunities granted by the 14 amendment" and is not tied to questions of citizenship.

You understand this line of reasoning yes?

In two paragraphs or less, you must determine when the negative right to NOT have life terminated must vest at SOME point in time. I think it is silly to vest such a right in a non-sentient organism. That is not a Constitutional interpretation, it is an ideological opinion.

Again, Roe is awful from the perspective of a Textualist. THAT is Constituional interpretation.

Also, to continue being fair: there is more than a single sentence in section 1 of the 14th.

quote:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.


Any person. I suspect the definition of person is what your whole argument actually hinges on. This is relevant yes?

Again, fair. But you recognize that your position is tenuously based on an ideological opinion of worth.

I just wanted you to state as such, and you have. Fair.

Where we disagree is obvious.

Abortion is NOT REMOTELY an instance of the STATE depriving anyone of anything.

It is if the state funds and provides for the act. And we do.

Non sequitur. Your reasoning would apply ONLY if the STATE were COMPELLING abortion. The State is only allowing a citizen to CHOOSE a course of action.

Allowing a choice deprives the person in question of life.

No. It gives a citizen the ability to decide whether to deprive another organism of life. The 14th precludes the State from DIRECTLY depriving life, liberty or property. Unless the State is trying to FORCE an abortion, the STATE is NOT doing so.
