The fourteenth amendment to the U.S. Constitution states in part, “…[no] State may deprive any person of life…without due process of law; nor deny to any person…the equal protection of the laws.”

Abortion became legal in 1973 because the Supreme Court determined that the word “person” in the Fourteenth Amendment does not include the preborn child.
