I agree that the right to life is the ultimate right.

However,

The right to life is in the “Declaration of Indepedence”.

It is not in the “Constitution”, yet I would agree it is obviously implied.

The constitution is law, not the Declaration.

Therefore the 10 amendent still applies to the abortion question, along with several others.

Baloney. The right to life is most certainly in the Constitution. The "securing of the Blessings of Liberty to Posterity," ie "those who are not yet born," is the ultimate self-stated purpose of the document.

And the Fifth and the Fourteenth Amendments both state explicitly that "no person shall be deprived of life" without a fair trial. The Fourteenth also explicitly puts the responsibility for the protection of innocent human life on the states.
