Are you of the opinion that the US constitution is a living document? I am of the opinion that if you want to change the US constitution you do it through the process it defines and get an amendment passed. The problem is that rights come from the creator and the creator did not and will not give you the "right" to steal your neighbors property to fund your desires. A document that is one of the base documents of our laws specifically proscribes stealing.

Are you advocating that the parents can choose to kill their children if they want to, you know if the children become inconvenient or a bother.
