Ever since witnessing Dr. Bernard Nathanson’s film, The Silent Scream, I have been galvanized to speak up on behalf of those little ones whose screams will never be heard. They are our posterity. They are the very same people whose lives are to be safe and secure under the Constitution of the United States, as stated in its preamble:
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.
Among the primary blessings of liberty are life. In fact it is listed first of all. How is it then, that we find ourselves in a land where, on the one hand life is upheld as a primary right to be secured and defended, and yet we have public officials sanctioning and defending abortion?
It is because, in the process of drafting the tools for self-government, we have omitted opportunity for candidates to state their adherence to principle before they run for office. It is because we have pretended that the defense of life is a thing to be legislated, as opposed to a thing given.
How can a person hold a public office that requires an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, and then turn around and use that office to oppose the very principles for which that Constitution stands?
One would think perhaps, by subterfuge. But today, there are people holding public office who passionately and openly call for the shedding of innocent blood.
Dear citizens of the United States, who each and all are enjoined to uphold and defend the Constitution, this must stop. We cannot allow people who sanction and promote abortion to hold public office. This is a heinous offense against civil law and all that addends to self-government. Self-government and self-extermination are antithetical to one another.
It is in ballot access laws that the line must be drawn, so that we the people may hold in check at the gate anyone who aspires to public office who would foist innocent blood upon ourselves and your children.
Go to your city, county, state, and federal clerks. Look at the language on ballot applications. Look at the oaths of office require. Who drafted those applications? Why is there not opportunity for a candidate to state specifically how and whether his views are in according with defending life?
Most of all, contact your legislator who understands the primary duty of their office and beseech them to review and revise ballot access laws so that those who have no regard for the blessings of liberty may be prevented from holding public office, from the President of the United States, all the way down to local school board.
