Abortion, Declaration of Independence and the Constitution

Declaration of Independence and Constitution
Since the God, the Benefactor of our civil rights, declares that a child is a person “endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights…”, we need examine which constitutional rights are violated when a child is aborted.
A. Declaration of Independence: A child is “…endowed by their creator
with certain unalienable rights, among them life, liberty and the pursuit ofhappiness…”. Thus abortion denies the child this most basic of their God-given rights.
B. 6th Amendment in essence states that “…the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial…to be confronted with the witnesses against him, to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor…”
Abortion imposes the penalty for a capital crime upon an unborn child. In so doing the child is brutally executed without charge and without the protections this amendment affords.
C. 8th Amendment: This guarantees protection against “…cruel and unusual punishments…”
First, the child is not guilty of anything worthy of punishment.
Secondly, the unwarranted punishment of abortion is, by it’s nature “cruel and unusual”. Nowhere in America is the death penalty imposed by dismemberment in tearing the person apart until dead. Nowhere in America is the death penalty imposed which burns a person to death.
Abortion is an execution worse than that given to mass murderers. Yea, many convicted murderers are permitted to live. Not so with an unborn child whose is guilty of nothing more than being alive.
D. 14th Amendment
This amendment guarantees the protection of due process.
“…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 any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
To destroy an unborn child is a clear denial of their right to “due process” and, contrary to the provisions of this amendment abortion is a denial of the unborn child’s right to “…equal protection of the laws.” which includes the protection of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”, the core of our national and individual existence.
