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. They never mention murder either and did not make it a federal offense. That doesn't make it any less wrong, just that it is not in the federal jurisdiction and is left to the states to enforce.
