I have a problem with this though: "I do not believe (and, for two hundred years, no one believed) that the Constitution contains a right to abortion. And if a state were to permit abortion on demand, I would—and could in good conscience—vote against an attempt to invalidate that law for the same reason that I vote against the invalidation of laws that forbid abortion on demand: because the Constitution gives the federal government (and hence me) no power over the matter."

If an innocent helpless baby does not have the RIGHT to the pursuit of happiness,..and being treated equally, which is afforded by our Constitution, then WHO does?

Otherwise, I agree with the rest of his essay.

Any thoughts or debate on this matter? Thanks in advance.. as this area of individual rights really concerns me. These children cannot defend themselves.. I would hope our Constitution would defend them. But I read him saying it does not. How can that be??

Tenth amendment: any right not specifically enumerated in the Constitution is reserved to the states.

There is nothing in the Constitution about murder, or robbery. Those are reserved to the states. Abortion should also be a matter for the states.
