I support the flag-burning amendment. It’s our national symbol, which stands for the principles embodied by the United States of America.
However, one of those principles, in fact the foremost principle, is that our rights to life and liberty are God-given, and therefore unalienable.
All persons are made in God’s image. That’s why each and every one has infinite value.
It’s nonsensical to think that a piece of cloth that represents these priceless principles is more valuable, more worthy of protection, than the principles themselves.
A living human being deserves more protection than a symbol. You can make a new flag, but you can never replace a single unique individual person.
Good post
You’re right. And I don’t believe that Thompson feels differently than you.
He’s acknowledging the harsh reality that he HLA cannot be passed at the current time, but we have a reasonable chance of getting a couple more justices on the SCOTUS that would be in favor of overturning Roe.
Sometimes the effectiveness of a position is what you have to be concerned about.
