"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are CREATED EQUAL, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men..."
-- The Declaration of Independence

This bill pretends that the above first natural moral law principles of our free republic's charter do not exist.

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
-- The Preamble, or Statement of Purpose, of the United States Constitution

This bill violates every single clause of those stated purposes.

"No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law."
-- The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution

"No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
-- The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution

This bill is in direct violation of the explicit, imperative equal protection requirements of those two Amendments.

"The appellee and certain amici argue that the fetus is a 'person' within the language and meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. In support of this, they outline at length and in detail the well known facts of fetal development. If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant's case, of course, collapses, for the fetus' right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the Amendment."
-- Justice Harry A. Blackmun, Roe vs. Wade, 1973

Even Blackmun admitted that if they are a person, "OF COURSE" they are protected by our Constitution. Today the "pro-life movement" admits to the obvious natural fact that they are persons, and then continues to write bills that pretend that they are not, bills which deny equal protection for the supreme right of every person.

"You shall not murder."
-- Exodus 20:13

God has never amended or repealed that imperative command, and it encompasses protection for every single individual person.

"God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever."
-- Thomas Jefferson

When even the Christians are pushing immoral, unconstitutional, lawless "laws" that grant permission in the statutes to allow the mass slaughter of innocents, as long as they are killed on schedule and by an arbitrary set of man-made rules, be afraid. Be very, very afraid.
