I remember when I first heard about the Roe V Wade decision. I could not understand it. I took out my copy of the constitution and studied it. In the constitution, citizens are guaranteed rights. Babies become citizens after they are born not before. So I thought, this is a result of the imperfection of man’s law.

I really thought the legislature would get busy immediately and redefine the definition of citizen. The lily livered congress critters have failed utterly to protect the most innocent, and most helpless of all our people. I no longer expect much from the lawmakers.

I never thought the argument with respect to privacy made any sense. That’s like saying well it’s okay to murder someone as long as you do it in private.

I do think it is a states rights issue, which was usurped to impose this godless Holocaust on our most precious children. China makes families abort their children as a form of birth control. Obviously, the government should have no right to dictate in such a matter. Why then should they dictate no abortion?(see next paragraph). I can understand the logic of saying that Government should butt out of what is more appropriately between the parents, and their god.

But the US was founded with more lofty ideals: the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in the declaration of independence. How can a nation so founded, fail to ensure the life of future generations? Even if the legislatures have failed us, I believe that eventually case law could make an impact.

There have been several cases where criminals have been charged and convicted in double homicides for the death of a pregnant women and her unborn child. Every such case builds a foundation to eventually challenge the treatment of the unborn as something less than human. There is more than one way to skin a cat. We should keep trying them all till one works.

Actually, the Fourteenth Amendment protects both "citizens" AND "persons." They are two separate clauses.

Absolutely. Fight on every front. The judicial solution is the quickest route to ending the holocaust...all it would take is a declaration of the personhood of the unborn from the hight court, and abortion would be illegal everywhere on American territory. But, there are two other co-equal branches: the Executive and the Legislative. They too raise their right hand and swear to uphold the Constitution, and therefore have a duty to act accordingly.

If we're not willing to have a constitutiolal crisis over LIFE, what would we ever have a constitutional crisis over?

Fight in the Courts. Fight in the Executive Branch. Fight in the Congress. Fight in the States. Fight in the media. Fight in the coffee shops and the churches and in the hearts and minds of men and women.

But, we must fight. Another 3 to 4 thousand babies were brutally killed in their mothers' wombs in America today.

And tomorrow, the slaughterhouses are again open for business...
