You have not shown me anywhere in the Constitution where abortion is a right.
The right recognized is free exerise of choice. Not specifically the choice to abort or not, but it isn't prohibited either. Thus as a choice it is covered.
Liberty = freedom = choice. So again, I guess I can put a knife in someone's back because of the 14th amendment?
But, your choices arn't allowed to purposly deny other humans of their choices. Not dying is a choice that people make.
I expect you to counter with something to the effect of, "but a fetus chooses to live too..." To which I respond, "this is the real heart of the matter. And it is many people's opinion that a foetus doesn't have the same rights as a developed human (just as children don't have as many rights as adults, i.e., more developed humans)"
From a constitutional p.o.v., a foetus is not expressly defined as or protected as a human. From a Biblical p.o.v., the punishment for killing a foetus is distinctivly lower than the punishment for killing a human or a slave (not considered human by Biblical standards). From a feminist p.o.v., the foetus is a part of the expecting mother's body until birth and it is her choice what to do with her body. From my (current) p.o.v., the foetus is a part of the expecting mother's
and father's bodies (and to a lesser extent the expecting grandparents, great grandparents, and so on) and thus it is their choice what to do with their bodies. [A bodypart doesn't have to be "attached" (however that can be defined) to be a part of a person's body]
John Dibble, not everyone knows that "!=" means "not equals."
