The last sentence of "The U.S. Supreme Court has used this Amendment to invent new rights, such as abortion and a separation of church and state, which were never intended by those who drafted or ratified it." is factually incorrect and should be removed from the article.

First, sign your entries to the talk page using the signature box above. Second, those are factual statements and I've never heard anyone dispute them. Do you really think the drafters of the Fourteenth Amendment intended to protect abortion? Please.
More generally, don't delete factual material simply because you disagree with it, or you will be blocked.--Aschlafly 22:38, 21 February 2007 (EST)

The right to an abortion was granted as a continuance of the right to privacy granted by the precedent set in Griswold as well as the due process clause of the XIV amendment. To claim that the courts solely used this amendment for its decision in Roe is false.--Moniker 23:23, 21 February 2007 (EST)
