We should keep trying them all till one works.
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...
You are welcome. I hope you got the FReepmail I sent you earlier today. My cousin is supporting Thompson. I am having the same argument with her. Abortion is as unconstitutional as slavery. States can violate the heart and soul of Constitution.
But also careful reading of the 14th amendment shows that “no state” shall deprive any person of life without due process, nor deny equal protection. Hence the Federal government is limiting what a STATE can do with respect to death, it placed no such limitation on the US government in amendment 14-Look at the 15th for comparison. And no where in the constitution, does it say a fetus is a person. Slaves were only 3 fifths of a person, and all kinds of laws were passed to impinge on their rights in spite of the 15th amendment.
A history professor of mine once noted that we have continued throughout our history to redefine the word person. It is way past time for the unborn baby to be defined as a person.
I have read that at the time of the 13 colonies, abortion was allowed before the quickening which I believe is about 5 weeks. This was before modern science. I believe that the science of today clearly demonstrates that unborn babies are children and should be afforded the protection of all persons and citizens.
