The issue is whether the Founders proscribed it and they didn't.

" The framers of the U.S. Constitution did not explicitly address abortion in their writings or debates." Of course. We know that.

However, they did acknowledge and were influenced by the common law, which was determinative at the time. At the time, abortion was generally permitted before "quickening" (the first noticeable fetal movement, which might have been around the 4th month).

Their rationale for omitting the topic is unknown but it is fair to say it probably isn't a topic that would have been addressed under any circumstance. So, I don't believe we can draw any conclusion from the topic's absence in the document.
