” Since when do States get to decide on life? Isn’t every person entitled to LIFE, liberty and the persuit of happiness? “ <<<<<
You have answered your own logical question actually. The Constitution does not define “personhood”. That’s the crack in the door the pro-choice crowd kicked in.
Yes, it does. It states as its crowning purpose the protection of "Posterity." Which of course not only includes the unborn, it includes those who are not even yet conceived.
People forget, that when they destroy the child in the womb, they are not just killing the one child. They are annihilating an entire bloodline, they are extinguishing posterity.
And, our nation's charter, the Declaration of Independence, the first part of the organic law of the United States, defines when every single life begins as well: at creation.
And it goes on to explain that the protection of the equal God-given right to life of every indiviudal is the very reason for being of all human government.
The Constitution takes for granted that every human being, every member of “the people,” is a person.
The disjunction between a “human” and a “person” is a post-Constitutional fiction of totalitarians, who, having introduced it, exploit it to murder whom they will.
