The founders neither wrote abortion into or out of the Constitution. It was an unfortunate mistake.
We do indeed need to secure the blessings of Liberty to our posterity, and we do NEED ALL of our posterity to ensure the continuity of our country and civilization. Therefore, a Human Life Amendment is the thing to do.
The point of my posting on this subject is that, unlike the absurd Roe decision, I'm using actual words from the Constitution that address securing the liberty of our children's children instead of suggesting a shadow that emanates from a penumbra of other words.
I think that my citations for life have more standing in the Constitution than the Supreme Court's citations for abortion, even though my citations are in the preamble and the Supreme Court's don't exist at all.

The only way you can believe that is to do two things: A) Ignore the dictionary meaning of the word "posterity," and B) Agree with Justice Blackmun that the fetus is not a person. Why? Because the Constitution explicitly protects the life of EVERY innocent person.
Even Blackmun, in the Roe vs. Wade written opinion, admitted that if the fetus is a person, they are "of course" protected by the Fourteenth Amendment.
And so, he dehumanized the child, with the result being the brutal deaths of more than fifty million defenseless, innocent persons.
One other thing: Even if one accepted the false notion that the unborn aren't "in the Constitution," the portion of your post that I quoted at the top of this reply has you doing exactly what the Ninth Amendment expressly forbids.
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
