The point wasn't about choice, it is about not being able to kill a known terrorist who has committed treason without judicial review, but being able to kill a baby any time it's inconvenient. Don't bring the back alley abortionist spin into this, or I'll bring in the argument about back alley car dealers causing thousands of deaths, or barbers or musicians.
The constitution provides protection against meaningless killing. Protect the terrorist, but not the innocent baby. Protect eagle eggs, but not human embryos. The Bill of Rights, and the Constitution as a whole prohibits murder. It doesn't prohibit execution of traitors!
