Backwards. The United States Constitution was not intended to eliminate state powers and establish a national hegemony, as you mistakenly believe.
and the Fifth
Non sequitur.
and the Fourteenth Amendments?
The 14th Amendment has not yet been given blanket incorporation, despite the desperate efforts of the left to destroy the 10th Amendment.
Are babies persons?
Even the author of Roe vs. Wade, in the text of the decision, admitted that if the unborn were persons, they are protected by the clear provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment.
And, the Reagan plank in the GOP platform since 1984 asserts the personhood of the unborn and their protection by the Fourteenth Amendment.
That's ridiculous. The Fourteenth has explicit language that binds the states. No "incorporation" needed. Just basic reading comprehension skills.
“No State shall...deprive any person of life...without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” - Fourteenth Amendment
