"-- there are nonetheless some things majorities must not do to minorities, some areas of life in which the individual must be free of majority rule. --"

I see these areas as enumerated in the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment.
-- Many here do not. Feel free to tell me why not.

Tailgunner joe:
The 14th amendment prohibits states from depriving persons of life without due process. This should extend to unborn persons as well.

It does. Unborn people are protected by state laws against murder. Murder should be prosecuted.

Allowing states to have legal abortion is just as immoral as allowing states to have legal slavery, exactly what the 14th amendment was meant to prohibit.

The 13th abolished slavery. The 14th reiterated that States are bound by the Constitution to protect our rights to life, liberty or property.

Should the unborn have less rights than black people? Should the unborn have less rights than illegal aliens?

Born or unborn, all people have the same inalienable rights. Illegal aliens are denied the privileges and immunities of US citizens.
