Eighteen "Pro-Life" States Demand the Freedom to Persecute American Babies

^{Published on 2025-02-04 18:00:38 - Slate}

Monday's amicus brief was spearheaded by Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird and joined by the Republican AGs of 17 other states.

The article from Slate discusses a lawsuit filed by Republican-led states, spearheaded by Texas, challenging the automatic granting of U.S. citizenship to children born in the United States to undocumented immigrants. This legal challenge, rooted in the interpretation of the 14th Amendment, argues that the amendment's clause "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" should exclude children of undocumented immigrants from birthright citizenship. The states, aligning with a pro-life stance, assert that this practice encourages illegal immigration and undermines the value of citizenship. Critics, however, see this move as an attempt to redefine citizenship in a way that could have far-reaching implications for civil rights and immigration policy, potentially affecting millions of Americans. The lawsuit has sparked a significant debate on constitutional interpretation, immigration, and the rights of individuals born on U.S. soil.
