Like a Human Rights Amendment clarifying that Life starts at Conception?

How about that there are no laws cementing the idea that their are special classes of people, like Gays (Hate Laws etc.)?

Yup. And one of the primary purposes of the federal government is to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity:

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

And what are these Blessings of Liberty:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are LIFE, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
