To: Las Vegas Ron; All

I would like to know where in the Constitution there is a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

Have you ever read The Declaration of Independence or the 5th Amendment? Please tell me you are not serious.

Amendment V No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

I would like to know where in the Constitution there is a right to life...

The Preamble, or as it would be better described, the Statement of Purpose, which lists the document's reason for being, the crowning purpose of which is "to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves AND OUR POSTERITY."

You could check out the Fifth Amendment as well, which at the heart of the Bill of Rights protects all persons from being killed without a fair trail and conviction on a capital offense. The Fourteenth Amendment reiterates this guarantee of the protection of the most fundamental of unalienable, God-given natural rights.

In order to even attempt to refute this, you have to reject the most fundamental premises of our form of government, in their entirety.
