Look, be FOR abortion. You use their argument.
I am against abortion and I use the Consitution which clearly indicates the “right to life is an unalienable Right” granted by the Creator and to be upheld by our Judeo Christian government. We have failed ourselves by not enforcing this as well as my Creator. Again, I don’t know if you are an atheist.
Now if you are an atheist, I can better understand your position.
If you read the Constiituion you will understand the in no way shape or form is abortion one of our founding principles. SAHME on YOU! It is not a “state” right to murder the unborn. It never was a “right” till the Constituion was perverted for policitical reasons.
AGAIN, read it:
We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness—That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed…
—The Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776
Consider the above words, and this is what we learn:
The right to life is a “self-evident truth;” it is not based on the speculations and shifting opinions of men.
The right to life is “unalienable” and an essential part of us. It exists independently from what others want. It is not a grant from government. It exists, whether there is a government or not. And it certainly can’t be ruled out of existence by unelected judges.
The government derives its “just Powers from the Consent of the Governed,” namely us. The Founding Fathers believed in “the capability of a people to govern themselves,” as Abraham Lincoln put it.
The reason for government is “to secure these Rights.” So the Constitution is, to use the words of the political scientist Paul Rahe, the “instrument for the im-plementation” of the Declaration of Independence. Thus, judges are not free to ignore the principles laid down in the Declaration of Independence.
Instead of being guided by the Declaration of Independence, the pro-abortion majorities in the Supreme Court’s abortion cases since 1973 have blocked out the bright light of the Declaration and groped around in the resulting “penumbra” and made up a new “right” to suit their purpose. To grasp how far down we have come from the rights enumerated in the Declaration of Independence, try fitting this new “right” of a mother to kill her unborn child to the concepts of a “self-evident truth” or an “unalienable right.”
No more pings.
It’s time for YOU to move on.
We will NOT agree on this issue.
I do not know where you get the idea that I stand against you FRiend, as I argue your position exactly, if I am reading you right. Please read my detailed posts on this thread, where my position is expressed in detail.
I do not believe the Constitution/Declaration of Independence allows any level of government power over inalienable rights, including Life.
I believe the Constitutional power to protect our inalienable rights rests in the federal government to ensure equal protection under the law. This includes innately the responsibility to protect Life in her laws and in her courts at the highest level.
I believe that federal power to protect our inalienable rights limits the states wrt writing laws which would infringe upon those rights, to include, most certainly, the life of the unborn.
IOW, the states, and their courts have no right or jurisdiction to declare abortion to be a legal endeavor whatsoever, nor do the federal level and their court either. That right, the life of a child (or any other man), is left only, and wholly, to the Most Holy of Judges, as it should be.
A court should tread fearfully on this issue, even in such gray areas as do exist, such as "life of the mother"; being ever so careful to handle such cases with every reverence and deference to the Almighty as might be given, for it is His Courts we walk in, and we had best be sure in our intentions.
I apologize for any misunderstanding you might have had, and will honor your request to refrain from pinging you further, until you should state otherwise.
