We’re talking about the innocent. Not those convicted of a capital offense. Not those killed in a justifiable homicide. And not those killed in the prosecution of a just war.

But if an innocent child has his room searched by his parent, is that a violation of the fifth amendment? No. The reason has nothing to do with innocence, it is because the fifth amendment does not apply to private citizens.

Private citizens do not have the right to end the life of another person.

So, again, you think private citizens can kill a “person.”

Not even the Roe judges thought that. In the decision itself, they admitted that the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments would cover the unborn, and protect them, if they were Persons.
