Ah, another of your famously polite posts. Has it ever occurred to you that such a tone wins you nothing but distaste for your positions?
Given that the right to life movement relies upon the 14th for any power in the BOR over State law, yes, it is germane. There is a huge difference between whether the right is unalienable and whether the Federal government has the Constitutional power to enforce its protection.
There’s no question that they have the power to protect the unalienable rights of the people, equally. They do, beyond question. They simply refuse to do so.
The pertinent questions are whether they have the legitimate JURISDICTION, and the DUTY to do so.
And the answer to both questions is an obvious “yes.”
According to the founders of our republic such is the reason for the existence of human government. The stated purposes of the Constitution, all of them, and its explicit requirements are in perfect keeping with that.
If you’re turned off to the most important founding natural law moral questions upon which this free republic was founded because I’m tired of being polite to those who keep spreading the pro-choice for states fallacies that are destructive of those principles to the ultimate degree, it is you with the problem, not me.
