....nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law....

The unborn are not citizens, they are persons. Persons who are not citizens do have constitutional rights. Otherwise we could just gun down illegal aliens in the streets because they have no rights.

Good point!

However, it remains that Section 1 of 14A, because of its inclusion of the word "born," indirectly defines people as those who have already been born. This minimally gives activist justices a license to strike down the Life at Conception Act if they choose to do so.

This is also why I've been arguing that activist justices wrongly ignored that abortion is not constitutionally enumerated right when they subjectivel found abortion rights in 9A and applied it to states via 14A.

Sen. Paul actually needs a constitutional amendment to do what he's trying to do with his Life at Conception Act imo.
