And my point is that their understanding of what is the actual meaning and intent of the law, is incorrect. Despite this, their decisions are imposed on the rest of us. They have effectively changed the law by judicial fiat. This is not the manner in which the system was intended to function, it is a byproduct of Judicial activism that has been left unchecked.
Abortion and Citizenship actually have a great deal in common. There are two consistent schools of thought on this subject.
Abortion is the consequence of the argument that a child is not a "person" until they are born, while the Jus Soli argument is that a child is not a citizen until they are born in a certain place.
(Status by the rules of man.)
The Pro-life/right-of-blood position is that a child's status as a person or a citizen is inherent in it's nature and does not depend on the conditions of it's birth to be one thing or another.
(Status by Nature.)
Of the two, only one position is consistent with the concept of being "natural born."

Yes, I understand. You are arguing “correctness” or the lack of it. I am not.
I am simply pointing out that, under currently prevailing law, abortion is legal and President Obama is Constitutionally eligible. I understand that you view both holdings as erroneous, but your view has no impact on what current law actually is.
