Surely in the first 30 days of a new Congress, there are more crucial pieces of legislation to bring to the floor... I mean I understand that to some peopleabortion is a big deal, but please... we are losing our Republic.

Congress should be doing everything in its power to shut down an out of control Executive Branch. I mean, totally gut it. Secure our borders, enforce existing laws, create real economic growth and empower American businesses. CUT WELFARE AND ENTITLEMENTS AND LOWER TAXES.

Yet here are 6 anti-abortion bills that are going NOWHERE.

If my congresscritters had cosponsored these 6 bills, and disregarded the perilous state of things with the Republic, I would be furious.

what could be more important than the saving of innocent human life? Why does some form of this argument always get trotted out whenever there is an attempt to correct some egregious moral wrong?

There are six things which the LORD hates,
Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him:
Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, nd hands that shed innocent blood,A heart that devises wicked plans,Feet that run rapidly to evil . . .

When I think think about the innocent time of my childhood, I know we started down this path of evil when we legalized abortion. If we want to fix things, we had better start with that! As a matter of fact, part of the reason our “betters” are permitting this massive immigration is because we have slaughtered our own children, and our native population cannot support social security, etc.

Frankly, NOTHING is more important than ending this awful awful wrong!

The primary reason “we are losing our republic” is perfectly illustrated by your post here ....

When protecting the sacredness of human life, INNOCENT human life - and especially the lives of the defenseless, those who are the most vulnerable and least able to protect themselves - becomes less important than economic or political considerations ... Then the edifice that the state rests upon is but a foundation of shifting sand, and upon such ground NOTHING can long survive in perpetuity.

You have forgotten the basic premise upon which our Republic was first laid - that bold statement of “radical thinking,” proposed in our Declaration of Independence, the Raison d’être for all the sacrifices made to bring forth this nation:

LIFE, LIBERTY, and the pursuit of happiness.

Note the order in which the statement of purpose is written. The protection of human life must come first, because without such understanding there can be no liberty and no happiness. Is the logic really so difficult to grasp?
