However much I may appreciate the rhetoric of the Bill of Rights, and I do--in the real world citizenship is an earned right.

Rights arn't earned. Priveleges are. And yes, citizenship is a privelege.

See how fast your right to life disappears if you don't exercise moral restraint and refrain from taking the lives of others. Contrary to popular sentiment, all rights are earned by constantly exercising your moral competence, which fetuses have none of.
