Let me ask you this; which is lawful, to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?
An unjust law is no law at all. Not to mention a bunch of men in black robes making up the "law" as they go. What part of "... No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws" do you, Rudy and the Supreme Court not understand?
Trying interferring w/the next person going to have an abortion and read your litany above - you will be arrested in interfering with THEIR rights - like it or not - that's the law. Rudy, as mayor, supports THEIR right to choose. It's THEIR decision, not his.
There is no right to kill the innocent, and you, Rudy and Blackmun in Roe v Wade, have to turn language upside down to twist the wholesale killing of innocent children into a "right". It is not a right and it never will be. It is tyranny, enforced by the police power of the state. I am not clueless to the reality that the state enforces it's edicts. I am just saying that Rudy may want to wash his hands of the bloodshed by saying that "it's not his choice", but the bottom line is that he will do nothing to stop the use the killing force of the state being used to condemn the innocent and letting the guilty go free. Why would I ever willingly with my vote entrust the powers of the Presidency to such a man? I will never vote for anyone who either does not understand and/or hates the basic principles and precepts upon which this Nation was founded, and by which the Constitution was written.
You spoken just like the Pharisee's that Jesus called hypocrites! How could you point scripture out to me when you don't know it yourself. That's exactly what the Pharasees did to Jesus. Jesus was about love - not condemning. Did Jesus condemn? NO He did not come to condemn the world but to save it. He loved the sinner and said asked if anyone could cast the first stone. He hates sin but he overcame it with love. And he told the person - the one who committed the act - to repent - not the government at the time. Again, he did tell the 'religious ' people at the time, the Pharisees - those pointing at others - they were hypocrites.
You have to twist that Scripture beyond recognition to apply it to the role of government. We're talking about the American form and principles of government, not individual repentance and forgiveness, which is what that passage is about. If you want to cite the Bible, Romans 13 is a Biblical passage that defines what the authority of human government is, its source, and its role. You will note that the function of government in that passage is to punish evil doers with the sword, not to "save the world", to "love sinners" or to "overcome sin with love." The government has no power to do any of those things. But when a government punishes those who do good it is doing the exact opposite of what it is authorized by God to do. As far as I'm concerned, as the Declaration states, when a government becomes destructive of "these ends"; i.e., the protection of inalienable rights, it is the right of the people to alter it or abolish it.
Cordially,
