Defining birth or the right to life

Today's news about the Michigan law restricting abortion points out an aspect of the last 30 year's debate on abortion:

Under our Constitution, the State may define the moment of birth as this law does. But the State may not infringe on the principle that all humans who "are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness to enjoy those "certain unalienable rights, endowed by their Creator."

After reading the history of this law, it's almost enough to make us review the rest of the Declaration.
