14th Amendment basically says that all “persons” in the US have the same rights of citizens. (The wording was used because Southern states tried to deny citizenship to freedmen). Of course the “right” to an abortion was created by our betters on the Supreme Court.

Now where the “right” to a taxpayer-funded abortion comes from, I have no idea. Taxpayers aren’t required to fund my right (a right that is actually mentioned in the Constitution) to a firearm.

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. 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 to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
No. Read it again.
