Hello All,
Sorry I'm late in reading this great set of posts.
I would like to add #5 if I can, Law of The Consitution. I my personal Blog "The Doctrine of Original Intent", I have a post called "Life and the Fourteenth Amendment!". I explain that the Constitution was created by our Founding Fathers to directly support the Declaration of Independence. In the "D of I" I note that the first inalienable, "creator" given, right is LIFE. As Dr King's dream said, "That one day this country would live up to it's creed, That all men are "created" equal. Well, when is man created at birth? , NO, at conception! So in other words that one celled embryo according to the "D of I" is "Equal" to you and me! Then to support that the Constitution is very clear in the 5th &14th amendments;
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.
Note that in this amendment you don't even have to be a citizen, just "any person" inside the US borders, to have your life protected under the Consitution!
For those that want to talk about the so called implied privacy right of the Constitution, I'll give it to you. As long as you follow the non-implied, written in stone, 9th amendment which does not allow you to take away someone else's right to life so you can exercise your right to privacy. As you can see, if our legislators would follow the intentions of the Founding Fathers "Life" would not be an issue.
As Always Thanks for being involved, Many Blessings, Shane
