All you have to ask yourself is this: is an unborn baby a person and do you support Amendment 62 on the Colorado ballot?

In fact, there is no difference between an unborn baby and the child which has emerged from the womb except time and the breathing apparatus. DNA is what marks us as human and the only thing separating us from conception to birth is the likelihood of death. But if that death is due to the deliberate act of another and not by natural means, that life that lived is no less human and no less a person just because we say it is not. The first step to eradicating a people is to say they are not worthy of being called citizens, then persons, then humans.

In the 14th Amendment, we have the continuation of the Declaration of Independence which announces that everyone has inalienable rights which are at least three: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But the last two are moot if the first is not given and upheld. And those rights do not come from us what we say they are. They are rights given by a Creator and that Creator, whether you want to call Him God, Jehovah, Allah or any other name, is certainly not any of us individually or collectively.

So the 14th Amendment talks about not depriving any person of life, whether they are a citizen or not. If you kill a baby in the womb, is it not the same as killing a human being and a person? Further, let me ask you, can you protect the California Condor by allowing people to break their eggs?

The point is, the egg IS the California Condor, assuming it is fertilized, because it has all the DNA to become a full grown Condor as long as death does not occur along the way. But woe to that person who would even accidentally kill it at any point along the way.

Now, if you think that, since abortion is legal, it is therefore legal by due process of law. First, that is circular reasoning and, second, I would hope you would believe, as a professing conservative, that the judicial branch of government has no business making law. And that is what they did. You said there is nothing in the Constitution about abortion. And I absolutely agree with you, at least as far as justices deciding to make it legal and thereby nullifying so many laws on the books in states that made it illegal before Roe vs. Wade. They should not and really could not have made any decisions on it according to the Constition except to actually not decide or rule in favor of the states that made it illegal because of the “LIFE” clause and not for any type of shadow of “privacy” clause.
