Did you read the amendment? There doesn't need to be explicit protection for medical procedures or abortion. 14A protects people from being deprived of life and liberty by state action or legislation. Eliminating access to abortion can deprive someone of their life and / or liberty, so eliminating access to abortion contradicts 14A.

There is no federal law granting the right to abortion. Therefore, states may have enact their own laws to either affirm or restrict access to abortion. This process is due process.

I feel like I am talking to a brick wall.

Any state law that deprives someone of life and / or liberty is unconstitutional.

If someone needs a life-saving abortion, the state cannot deprive that person their constitutional right to life.

It's not. It's literally not. Stealing food is illegal, even if you were going to die of starvation without it. Breaking into someone's home is illegal, even if you were going to freeze to death outside. And now, in some states, abortion is illegal, even if you were going to die from giving birth.

States or congress should pass a law allowing abortions if that's the will of the people. The court should not invent a law out of nothing; this ruling is legally correct.

I could say the same about you. There is no right to an abortion. Therefore the state is not depriving a person of anything.

Have a nice day.

You do the same!
