And, what position do you have, Rick, on the desire of some Republicans to not merely reverse Roe, but declare that abortion violates the 14th Amendment and thus the many states which protect a woman's right control her own body are unconstitutional? All persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens of the
United States and of the State wherein they reside.
Congress has authority over naturalization.
Declare that all persons, whether or not yet born, who come within the
territorial boundaries of the United States are citizens of the United States
and of the State wherein they reside.
Voila!!
In this way, unborn children would be prenatally naturalized, endowed
with obvious and not easily overcome rights to due process, and all without
violence to the Constitution.
