The 14th Amendment actually argues against your position, unless your definition of "born" is what most people define as "conceived."

Not at all. if you dare argue that "born" means given birth on U.S. soil, then Germans, French, etc. may be killed.

Actually, in event of war or other national emergency, foreign nationals may be apprehended and expelled or detained, and even killed (if they resist said apprehension). Indeed, one complaint of note is that we've allowed foreign nationals from known terrorism-sponosring countries to run around loose on our soil since 9/11.

However, please also note that the 14th Amendment cannot be construed to criminalize abortion. At best, if the theory you argue does hold merit, it forbids the government from engaging in compulsory abortion.

The 14th Amendment does not outlaw murder. That is still up to the states.
