The 14th Amendment gives them the authority.

That's a bit of a stretch, but I can see how it would be a popular argument.

No, it’s not a stretch. If a person cannot be deprived of life except by due process of law, Congress has the right to step in and prevent the taking of that life. The only way the 14th wouldn’t apply is if someone made the ludicrous argument that a baby is not a person.
