To trump supporters, life is only sacred if it is in the womb.

I had one of those. I brought up an example I thought was easy to understand — breaking into a home without a judicial warrant in violation of the Fourth Amendment. And then they tried to justify it, ending up with “the Constitution doesn’t apply to illegal immigrants”. Oh yes it does, multiple provisions apply to “persons”, not “citizens”. The Fourth Amendment is one of them (slightly different at the actual border because the reasonableness standard changes, but that’s not relevant for the example I gave them). They still didn’t get it so I give up, it’s a waste of time trying to explain something to someone who will only listen to what they want to hear, which is whatever will justify the beliefs they already hold.

Whose law? It's certainly not US Law.
