Yes, I do believe so.
After that, I want abortion/infanticide/fetus killing/whatever you want to call it, forbidden by way of amending the United States Constitution.
Who can say with any honesty that Washington, Madison, or Jefferson would not find this practice so hideous and evil that banning it would require not a second thought?

Something very serious, for everyone to think about. jla's got a very valid point.

It's quite an insult to think that our Founding Fathers were unaware of a practice that was thousands of years old, especially when you consider Jefferson's Classical scholarship. They were aware of it, yet they did not make it a Federal offense.

On the other hand, I don't see them writing a sweeping right to privacy as something to be protected (it's not explicit in Madison's Bill of Rights), but then again, perhaps they felt no need to do so, and assumed it was a given (ah, the Federalist/anti-Federalist debates again).

But that's just my opinion.
