Our society in the USA is bound by our Constitution, correct? You see some activities as a 'culture of death' -- that others see as constitutional issues.
Can you acknowledge that you are bound to use constitutional means to resolve those salient issues?

I have no authority to employ the Constitution.
The Constitution exists to limit the authority of government. It serves no other function.
Shall the Constitution be employed to resolve civil issues? I think not.

We are all bound as citizens to support & defend our constitution.

If some other citizen violates your rights, you have the authority, and even the duty to employ the US Constitution in your defense, -- and to see that government officials help to resolve such civil issues in a constitutional manner.

Not true. I was born in this country and have never taken an oath to defend the constitution. Unless as an officer of the government, it is not the duty of the citizenry to defend the constitution. The Constitution protects the citizen from abusive authority by government officials.

This is a critical distinction. The purpose of the Constitution is to limit the role of government in public life. The fact that this has been perverted in recent years by power mongering government officials does not make it constitutional.

You are correct that I may appeal to the Constitution to protect my God given rights from abuse by another citizen or by the government.
