With all due respect Dr. I was looking at this from another perspective. There would not be the constitution you see before us today if it wasn't for the philosophical momentum generated by the declaration, later carried over into the Constitution.

No man or woman can use his or her God given freedom to take away the freedom of another because that freedom was not ours to take away. <The foundation of what is justice.

That's fine and dandy and swell. But it's still the Constitution, not the Declaration, which is the social contract of our nation.

And like I said, in this case there's no need to appeal to the Declaration. The Constitution protects the right to life (which, as I recall, was the subject of this thread...) in Amendments 5 and 14. What more do you want? Why would you rather point at the Declaration than the Constitution? I don't get it.
