You are either playing word games, pretending ignorance (which is dishonest), or unaware of what the 14th Amendment says (which I doubt).

XIV Section 1. 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.

Now, what does that have to do with the question? Is that pre-born a person, or not? Do you have to be a "citizen" to have the right to life? Is that not a "catch 22" question?

You realize murdering resident aliens is against the law, right? So it really isn't a catch 22 question at all.

Abortion is illegal, as murder, throughout America, but we've allowed seven old men to overturn those laws by fiat for some bizarre reason that certainly has *nothing* to do with the US Constitution.
