And so, even if you want to ignore the explicit, imperative requirements of the Fifth and the Fourteenth Amendments, abortion is, and always has been, completely illegitimate and unlawful.

Then you're asking me to accept the premise that the people who wrote and ratified the Fifth, Ninth, and Fourteenth amendments intended for it to outlaw the practice of abortion, and then forgot to do it.

How dumb do you think they were?
