To the Editor:
Once again your editorial board ignores the fact that the reproductive “right” of elective abortion involves the deliberate and direct annihilation of an innocent human life in utero.
The so-called constitutional right that permits the atrocity of elective abortion vitiates protections of life found in the Fifth and 14th Amendments to the Constitution.
Most compellingly, Supreme Court decisions permitting elective abortion amount to a court-sanctioned home invasion in the first home of the unborn human being, in the womb of the unborn child’s mother, a direct violation of the Fourth Amendment.

Note from KBJ: The greatest irony of the abortion debate is that progressives fancy themselves the defenders of the vulnerable, the disadvantaged, the voiceless, the downtrodden, the exploited, and the oppressed. What could be more vulnerable than a human being in utero? How a woman could kill her offspring is beyond me.
