When Jefferson was writing the constitution, do you think he thought even once , that the central government should be deciding for everyone if aborting a baby on purpose , should be considered in the constitution as a protected right ? Two things people either forget or ignore … 1) the colonies were here first , they created government . The constitution was written so that government they were creating couldn’t take away the rights of the colonies / states to self govern. (2). We don’t live in a democracy .
The Constitution left many aspects of our governance and our rights intentionally vague, partially because it would have been impossible for the Framers to predict the evolution of society.
