Illicit authority.The Constituion can only be in effect if it was legitimately ratified by the States.
The States ratified a Constitution that counted slaves as three-fifths of a person. Could they have ratified a Constitution that doesn't count the unborn as a person?

One of the key distinctions you, and those like you, seem to consistently miss is the difference between having the ability to do something and having the legitimate right to do so.
Might does not make right.
