Section 1. 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.
This defines citizenship in the United States has having been born or naturalized there. Since a fetus is not born, and naturalization takes longer than nine months(source needed here), the fetus is not granted Constitutional rights.
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 can further aid abortion. People have a liberty to what goes on inside their bodies. Since the 14th Amendment states that no state can deprive any citizen of liberty, that means that illegalizing abortion is unconstitutional, as it is depriving women of the liberty to what goes on within their bodies.

As useful as it would be if a pro-lifer tried to use it against you, this isn't very valid. Why? Because if I were an intelligent pro-lifer, oximoronic as it is, I could easily come back with, "It's a freaking ammendmant. It's called that because it can be AMMENDED."

Forgotten Purity As useful as it would be if a pro-lifer tried to use it against you, this isn't very valid. Why? Because if I were an intelligent pro-lifer, oximoronic as it is, I could easily come back with, "It's a freaking ammendmant. It's called that because it can be AMMENDED." However, it currently has not been amended. By that logic we shouldn't be able to use any legal information in the debate because it can all change, when currently we use legal information to support the laws that keep abortion legal.

Also, um, all amendments are "just amendments."

Lord Setar naturalization takes longer than nine months(source needed here), Quote: Naturalization is the process by which U.S. citizenship is conferred upon a foreign citizen or national after he or she fulfills the requirements established by Congress in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The general requirements for administrative naturalization include: *a period of continuous residence and physical presence in the United States; *residence in a particular USCIS District prior to filing; *an ability to read, write, and speak English; *a knowledge and understanding of U.S. history and government; good moral character; *attachment to the principles of the U.S. Constitution; and, *favorable disposition toward the United States. Note: Recent changes in immigration law and USCIS procedures now make it easier for U.S. military personnel to naturalize (see Naturalization Information for Military Personnel). All naturalization applicants must demonstrate good moral character, attachment, and favorable disposition. The other naturalization requirements may be modified or waived for certain applicants, such as spouses of U.S. citizens. Applicants should review the materials listed under "Related Links" and carefully read the N-400 application instructions before applying. This page can be found at http://www.uscis.gov/naturalizationI'm pretty sure a fetus can't do any of those things... Hope that helps!
