Edit: And its equal protection for born citizens. Not for unborn fetus's.

Okay, read my post again, I will help you with color-coding. "Since I am guessing you are too busy not looking at the 'entirety' of the argument, then I'll put it here for you. Okay, if I will must, I will explain to you my reasoning once again.
Here we go. First off, the United States considers an alien “any person not a citizen or national of the United States” [directly from a government website]. You can consider an unborn baby not a citizen or national of the United States, as you have stubbornly pointed out over and over again, but guess what, it doesn’t matter. I keep telling you over and over again that it doesn’t matter. First off, Plyler vs Doe gave aliens protected under the Equal Protection Clause. That itself should be enough. There are a few other court cases such as Yick Wo vs Hopkins which further the rights of aliens, but that really doesn’t matter to you, now does it. As I said, I read the constitution and I see what the court says about it, I look at it in the ‘entirety’ not what you are doing by just starring at the constitution and interpreting it to what you want. I look at what our legal system says it means."

Tipsy: You fail to see my point. None of these documents were written for the sake of fetus's. None.

They were written for the protection of human rights. A fetus is a human due to it being genetically identical to any other human in other stages of development. You yourself contradict yourself when saying, "All of them are dealing with the rights of born human beings". Abortion is a human rights issue. It is the so-called 'just' discrimination of humans. This is a violation of human rights. If you question whether or not it is a human, all you have to do is look at 1) It is alive, the unborn baby can reproduce his own cells and develop them, 2) It is completely human in its characteristics, including the well pointed out 46 human chromosomes, and 3) Nothing new will be added to the unborn baby from the time the sperm enters the egg to the time the unborn baby dies as an old man/woman. It is a human being. Just because you are not born, or because you are black, does not make you not a full person. These documents make it clear that you cannot discriminate on these points.

-Written before abortion exsisted...which therefore eliminates it from this sort of argument.

I don't see what that has to do with anything. Many illegal things have were not in 'existence' when the Constitution was written, does this make them exempt from the it too?
Edit: TBS' example from the post below is a better one.

It dealt with giving citizens basic human rights. Thats it.

Not true as has been obviously pointed out.
Edit: Tell if you do not agree with any of these points and I will quote myself again for you to answer your problem.
1) An unborn baby is a human being.
2) The fourteenth amendment is not restricted to citizens of the United States.
3) The fourteenth amendment, since it’s not restricted to citizens of the United Statse, and is extended to people within the jurisdiction of the United States, protected unborn babies in the jurisdiction of the United States.
4) United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights is in fact 'universal', meaning it is "Including, relating to, or affecting all members of the class or group under consideration."
5) Since the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights is universal, is applies to even the most innocent and smallest human being, being the unborn babies.
I think that just about sums up the legal information.
