Please show some evidence that the framers of the Fourteenth Amendment intended to exclude certain classes of persons from protection, in spite of the explicit words to the contrary that they used in the Amendment, or that a single one of them ever supported the killing of babies.

They did not outlaw the practice of abortion upon ratification of the amendment.

They did not outlaw the practice of abortion upon ratification of the amendment.

Again, they also didn't "outlaw" the killing of red-headed step-children between the ages of five and six.

Instead, they explicitly and imperatively protected all persons.
