Is "AU" American University? If so, are you as disgusted as I am at how farther to the left our alma mater becomes each and every year? I tear up every alum notice I receive.
The title should be changed from "How Killing Became a Right" to "How Murder Became a Legal Right."
No zog, it's alot more complex than that. I guess it is you who is the simple one.
Sanctity of Life
The pre-born child, whose life begins at fertilization, is a human being created in God’s image. The first duty of the law is to prevent the shedding of innocent blood. It is, therefore, the duty of all civil governments to secure and to safeguard the lives of the pre-born.
To that end, the Constitution of the United States was ordained and established for "ourselves and our posterity." Under no circumstances may the federal government fund or otherwise support any state or local government or any organization or entity, foreign or domestic, which advocates, encourages or participates in the practice of abortion. We also oppose the distribution and use of all abortifacients.
As to matters of rape and incest, it is unconscionable to take the life of an innocent child for the crimes of his father.
In addition, Article IV of the Constitution guarantees to each state a republican form of government. In a republic, the taking of innocent life, including the life of the pre-born, may not be declared lawful by any institution of state or local government — legislative, judicial or executive. The right to life should not be made dependent upon a vote of a majority of any legislative body.
Moreover, this right should never depend upon a majority of justices on any court, including the United States Supreme Court. Therefore, although a Supreme Court opinion is binding on the parties to the controversy as to the particulars of the case, it is not a political rule for the nation. Roe v Wade is illegitimate, contrary to the law of the nation’s Charter and Constitution. It must be resisted by all civil government officials, federal, state, and local, and by all branches of the government — legislative, executive, and judicial.
In office, we shall only appoint to the federal judiciary, and to other positions of federal authority, qualified individuals who publicly acknowledge and commit themselves to the legal personhood of the pre-born child. In addition, we will do all that is within our power to encourage federal, state, and local government officials to protect the sanctity of the life of the pre-born through legislation, executive action, and judicial enforcement of the law of the land.
In addition, we condemn the misuse of anti-racketeering and other federal laws against pro-life demonstrators, and strongly urge the repeal of the RICO and FACE Acts as unconstitutional expansions of federal power into areas reserved to the states by the Tenth Amendment.
Finally, we also oppose all government "legalization" of euthanasia, infanticide and suicide.

--so, explain. Don't just insult, back it up with some words here, it doesn't have to be book length, but a few sentences or whatever it takes ya. .A foetus is NOT a human being? What is it then? What's your non-complex answer to what a foetus is? I say a foetus is a human being. I say if anyone "you"-not you necessarily, just random "you"- can't see that, then it becomes demonic or at best self excusatory dementia.
