If abortion is wrong at any time then it is wrong because it is the taking of an innocent life, and it is therefore always wrong. A thoughtful person with a conscience knows that the end never justifies the means. Those you would call wackos are defending the civil rights of the child while it is in the womb. That civil right to life is slowly being recognised by the courts in spite of themselves, as in the Peterson trial and verdict.

You know, it's amazing what short memories we are developing these days. Back in 1964 even Planned Parenthood knew that human life begins at conception. Even so, Margaret Sanger, the Hitlerite anti-minority founder of said group was willing to kill children in the name of Eugenics. Have you ever noticed that most abortion clinics are in predominantly Afro-American neighbourhoods?

It's good to see that someone is recognising that the abortion issue is not a religious one. The fact that religious people have strong pro-life convictions no more limits that position to being a religious one any more than the fact that most religious people believe in marriage, or helping other people. This abortion issue is a civil rights issue.

Many godly (Rom.2:15) atheists know abortion is murder while many godless (apostate) Christians act as if it weren't.

2. "I - That all men are by nature equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety." Virginia Declaration of Rights
3. Thomas Jefferson, in the Declaration of Independence, stated the source of Rights and expressed the fundamental purpose of government: "....all Men are created equal...endowed by their Creator with...unalienable Rights, that among these are Life....to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted...." Declaration of Independence : July 4, 1776
4. Preamble to the U.S. Constitution," We the People of the United States, in Order to....secure the Blessings of Liberty to...our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution...." Preamble
5. "No person shall be...deprived of life...without due process of law...."Amendment V

The National Lawyers Association takes the position that the practical effect of the legal connection or relationship between the Declaration and the Constitution is that the Constitution is to be interpreted in the light of the principles set forth in the Declaration.[...] The Preamble introduces and explains the purpose of The U.S. Constitution, and links it to The Declaration of Independence."

The Preface to the United States Code - Annotated states that "this code is the official restatement in convenient form of the general and permanent laws of the United States in force December 7, 1925...." The Preface also states that there is also contained therein a copy of the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, the Ordinance of 1787 and the Constitution with Amendments.
