Unknown seemingly to virtually everyone, is the fact that the founders of our great documents included a reference to all the innocent pre-born victims of abortion. In the Preamble to The Constitution is the phrase “... and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our POSTERITY, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
Webster’s defines ‘posterity’ as “descendants,” “all future generations” and “the offspring of one progenator to the furtherest generation.”
Of course this would include all the able-bodied descendants of those living in the colonies at the time of the phrase’s writing, but I would assert that its meaning extends to all future legitimate citizens and their offspring - whether wanted or unwanted, from conception to natural or unnatural death.
Aborted pre-born babies eventually are born, just not in a natural fulfillment of the blessings of liberty, purchased at the ultimate price, on behalf of all of us - as desired by our forefathers. The honor bestowed upon these posterity-babies by our forefathers is deminished not a whit by the thuggery accompanying their arrival to this home of the last best bastion of human freedom.
“God, please still Bless America, we need it more than ever before.”
Excellently put.
What is personhood?
When the term “Person” is granted to a human being, it refers to the presence of a particular set of characteristics that grant that individual certain rights such as the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In other words, to be a person is to be protected by a series of God given and constitutionally protected rights.
This terrifies the pro-abortion foes!!!
