And so, like Alan, I'm willing to endure any scorn, any abuse, to stand on behalf of the full import of the following words:
"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..."
"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
"No State shall...deprive any person of life...without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
I hear ya. But, unlike Alan, however, you do realize that Palin is an ally of the pro-life movement. I’m all for a constitutional amendment (even though I think simple legislation SHOULD be more than adequate), but I’m ALSO for overturning R. V. W., which is apparently Palin’s position.
