The 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution clearly states that a person born or naturalized in the U.S. has rights.
A fetus is not born. A fetus has no rights.
It has rights once it’s squeezed out of its mothers vagina, not while it’s in the womb.
End of story.

14th Amendment as currently written…
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
This amendment contradicts itself by stating only persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens and no law shall abridge the privileges of that citizenship yet it goes on to state that no person shall be deprived of LIFE, liberty, or property, without due process, nor deny any person of the equal protection of the law.
14th Amendment revised to include ALL people…
“All persons conceived or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
One simple word would change our culture and salvage our humanity. Help make this a reality. Help stop the killing. All with one simple word.
Revision to the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution
I don’t think the wording is contradictory. Clearly citizens (people are born in the US or naturalized) have certain rights and prieveleges that other people don’t have. But all people have the right to life, liberty and property, citizen or otherwise.
The preborn might not be citizens, but they are certainly people.
I think the original framers had ALL human life in mind, and it was just unjust lawyers and judges that found what they saw to be a loophole to accomplish their evil agenda…. (In the cases of both Roe vs Wade & slavery) So perhaps an amendment really is needed? (Or not, if all would agree & overturn Roe vs Wade) But if an amendment is needed, it would have to be proposed by 2/3’s of the House & Senate or else or by a Constitutional Convention called for by 2/3’s of State Legislators… Couldn’t this begin with the President doing something like an Emancipation Proclaimation like Abraham Lincoln did? (I know it was partly a political move, but many of the slaves did get set free by it) At first, he didn’t get the percentages for the adoption of the 13th Amendment, (didn’t pass at first) but later did when more were in favor of it… It may have even been as much as a year later…
