Due Process Argument AGAINST Abortion

[UnworthyApostle]

14th Amendmant.Section1.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.

I want to outline a quick arguement against abortion from the Due Process Clause in the 14th amendmant.

1.The due process of law, ad equal protection of laws, is contigent upon birth of a citizen
2.By denying the birth of a citizen,it logically follows also that the citizen is denied due process of law by the contingent nature of due process, and equal protection of laws, to birth
3.Therefore, abortion is unconstitutional becuase it denies the unborn due process of law and equal protection of laws.

This is a legal argument based on the language of the 14th Amendmant.

Problem is you are not a citizen until you are born.

 

[UnworthyApostle]

Well, one could apply future merits of citizenship. This can be derived from a few facts,

For example, the whole argument hinges on the denying of BIRTH denies the baby rights, and CITIZENSHIP in this country. IF a baby WOULD be born in the U.S. then the baby would be a citizen and thus have rights. By extension, the denial of birth IN the United States denies citizenship, and denies consitutional rights. All three are linked in an almost sylogistic manner. The citizenship and rights exist in theory while the baby is in the womb of the mother, and come into fact when the baby is born. The citizenship of a baby in the womb exists alebit on a theoretical level. By denying the theoretical rights, you deny the factual rights that WOULD come into existence if the baby was allowed to be born.

A four year old is no less human than a 40 year old. A zygote is no less human than a born baby. Citizenship and consitutional rights exist for babies in the womb.
