"But since all other rights rely on the right to life, I believe it should be.

I agree. But the way to get it there properly is via a Constitutional Amendment.

"I'm sure our framers never imagined that the right to life wouldn't be inherent and understood by all."

The Framers thought that MOST laws would be under the venue of the individual states, with a very few functions allowed to the FedGov, so they rightfully left it to be protected by the states. I doubt they could have imagined the degree to which the FedGov has usurped legitimate state functions.

Remember, before the Supreme Court "discovered" so-called "abortion rights" never seen before in the Constitution, MOST states prohibited abortion.

Agreed.

That is true. I just don't see most states going back to that if Roe v Wade were to be overturned.
