9. how about the simplest
the 'right to life'

the 14th? Amendment in the BoR says:
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

If we cannot arrest and prosecute a person without giving them a pro-bono lawyer, how can we allow a person to die without giving the basic medical care that would indeed preserve their 'right to life'?

Not of a 'yet to be born' person, but of an actual living breathing human being??
