The fourteenth amendment restates once again: "nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law."
No one is going to argue that we all deserve the right to life. Until, that is, you start talking about the unborn.
I have no idea how so many people skipped that concept in their minds when they decided that a woman's right to privacy somehow trumped the baby's right to life. Where is compassion? Where is the respect of law?
I am not an idiot, I know there are certain circumstances that justify an abortion.
That said, I still don't understand how it is constitutionally legal to take a child's life even before they have a chance to make a case for themselves.
In my view, this is the ultimate form of oppression - whole generations have been denied the simplest, most basic right - to LIFE. Their cries can't ever be heard, so they are ignored, relegated to nonexistence because of their silence.
