You can’t read the founding paragraph of the Declaration, the Preamble to the Constitution, or the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to that document, and conclude reasonably that any State or individual has the right to alienate the God-given right to life, anywhere in the territory of the United States.

Who said I'm saying that? You're twisting my words when I'm agreeing with you on the fundamental point -- our only disagreement is on the role of the federal government.

You can't read the same documents and tell me that the federal government can write and enforce state laws. But, and I repeat myself again, because you seem to be intentionally missing the point, those state laws must pass 14th Amendment muster.
