I'm constantly amazed at how few seem to be able to read these days. The Preamble makes it clear that the document was written for the purpose of assuring that POSTERITY would have an equal chance to enjoy the Blessings of Liberty. And the Fifth and the Fourteenth Amendments are clear in their protection of the lives of all innocent persons.
Or maybe you can read, and you're just pretending that those words aren't in the Constitution.
Do you believe that an unborn child is a PERSON? Or do you agree with the author of Roe that they are not?
I am also constantly amazed at how thin a reed people will clutch to themselves when they are way over their heads.
The PREAMBLE of the Constitution has exactly NO Constitutional or jurisprudential signficance.
I will not get into a debate regarding your preposterous inversion of the word “posterity” excpet to say that it is not even a reed, but the image of one.
Also I will not get into a debate about whether an unborn child is a person, as you will, with the absolute certainty of the amateur, confound and commingle the legal meaning of the word person with the moral one, resulting in mental mush.
Therein lies the rub. The Declaration states that "We hold these truths to be SELF EVIDENT that all men are created equal and they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights..."
The biggest problem we have in this country is that it is NOT self-evident to many that unborn children are PERSONS. You and I obviously believe that, but there is no consensus in the country regarding it. That has been our biggest problem since Roe; getting people to that realization. When that occurs, it will be less of a struggle to enact a Human Life Amendment, but until then, we have to find other ways to save as many babies as we can.
