Could be that I'm not catching the finer points of both arguments in this.
I seem to recall that among the various rationalizations in support of legalized abortion is the fact that the unborn have no rights because they have not yet been born and, of course, have not been naturalized.
Since they are not American Citizens, they are afforded no protections or immunities guaranteed under the Constitution or judicial precedent.
Recently, Liberal judges are awarding rights enjoyed by American citizens to folks who were not born in the USA OR naturalized. They seem to be saying that all people, regardless of legal definition, have the normal and usual rights and immunities accorded to citizens of the US.
The rulings establish rights that don't exist and deny Presidential authority that is Constitutionally established and defined.
Will this act of legal gymnastics come around to affect other areas of American law?
