We’re talking the innocent here Dan. Don’t try and confuse the issues. Next you’re going to use just war to defend killing the unborn, I suppose.

Where does being innocent convey any greater Constitutional protection? It can't be, because innocence is decided in a court. The issue is not whether killing the unborn is right (it's wrong and I've already said that). The issue is who has the authority to prohibit it.

Unborn children are by nature innocent, friend. It is not possible for them to have committed a capital crime. Get real.

The Fifth Amendment, the heart of the Bill of Rights, says that you can't kill the innocent, ie someone who has not been convicted of a capital offense. That is what "due process" means. A fair trial.
