I can. It’s just not necessary. Just because one individual, or group of individuals, made an unconstitutional decision doesn’t mean anyone else has leave to violate their own oaths. Killing innocent persons is still illegal in this country, and every state is still required to provide equal protection of the laws for every person within their jurisdiction.

We have a systemic failure of government at all levels to protect the rights of children in the womb that they are entitled to by virtue of their personhood. That we have established.

Obviously, the approach that much of the Pro-Life movement has been trying for - taking gains where they can be made, with the hope of eventually repealing Roe v. Wade and pushing the abortion issue to the states (then repeating the process at that level) - is not acceptable to you or to the ARTL.

Given this situation, by what means do you propose to fix it? You want the perfect without taking any intermediate steps - so what is the plan to accomplish it?

For every officer of government, and every candidate for public office, to make this resolution, and to then act accordingly without wavering.

We already have the law on the side of life.

All we really lack is the political will to protect it.

“Intermediate steps” are fine, if they don’t sacrifice the moral, natural law, constitutional principles that argue for the defense of innocent life.

Sadly, most of those steps that the “pro-life” fund-raising, vote-gathering industry have been pushing do sacrifice the principles. They’re not steps forward. They’re steps back, and over a cliff.

I’m sick and tired of people telling me that someday, over the rainbow, they’re going to bring in a crop, when I already know darned well that they’ve sold the farm.
