because those are not topics germane to its purpose. The silence means exactly nothing

I beg to differ. The purpose of the constitution of any organization is to identify membership, often various categories of membership, and to describe the purpose and general operating approach of the organization. Our Constitution spoke, as it should, to membership. It did not have a category of membership for the preborn. Since the very purpose of a constitution is to identify coverage/applicability/membership, it's failure to do is is, indeed, salient. That it didn't discuss burglary or right turn on red is not salient because those factors are not the very essence of a constitution.
