Abortion and The Constitution

The Truth About Abortion

60 million dead through abortion in America; one billion dead worldwide.
 
Holocaust? Genocide?
 
There have been MORE abortions since Roe v. Wade was overturned. 
 
My new column, Make Sodom and Gomorrah Great Again, looks at the dangerous times we are in.
 
I hate to bring you bad news, but former President Trump made a very bad decision on abortion, and it probably will sink his campaign. He will lose millions of conservative votes.
 
In my view, you can’t flip-flop on the most important moral issue of our time. To make matters worse, his wife (a Catholic) is raising money for the gay rights lobby.
 
I also posted the facts about the Arizona pro-life law.
 
On Fox, Greg Gutfeld says abortion is an “acceptable evil” in America.
 
I disagree.
 
I will continue to defend Trump against the weaponization of the “justice” system. But the system is still rigged against the unborn, and Trump says he’s okay with that. He thinks America can live half slave, half free.
 
Wrong.
 
What Trump doesn’t grasp is that people can refuse to vote or they can vote for a third party, such as the Constitution Party, meeting in two weeks.
 
Here is their position:
 
“We affirm the God-given legal personhood of all human beings from fertilization to natural death, without exception. The first duty of the law is to protect innocent life, created in the image of God. No level of civil government may legalize or fund the taking of life without justification. Legalizing the termination of innocent life of the born or unborn, whether by abortion, infanticide, euthanasia or suicide, is a direct violation of their unalienable right to life. As to matters of rape and incest, we empathize with those abused and assert the need to provide immediate protection and care in a safe environment. Instead of the further violence of abortion, the mother and the child should be provided with compassionate care. We find it unconscionable to take the life of an innocent child for the crimes of his father.”


In 1990, testifying against David Souter for the Supreme Court, Howard Phillips, chairman of The Conservative Caucus and founder of the Constitution Party, said:

The Declaration of Independence asserted that "We are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights, and that, among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." The Declaration rested on the assumption that there exist "the laws of nature and of nature's God." Is the unborn child a human person entitled to the protections pledged to each of us by the founders of our nation?

He went on:

If an unborn child is not human, I would ask Justice Stevens, "What is he?" "What is she?"

In the Roe v. Wade decision, the Supreme Court indicated that, if the unborn child is a person, the state could not allow abortion even to save the life of the mother. In fact, in the majority opinion deciding Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court said that "if the personhood of the unborn child is established, the pro-abortion case 'collapses', for the fetus's right to life is then guaranteed specifically by the Fourteenth Amendment." As Notre Dame law Professor Charles Rice has pointed out, "This is so, because the common law does not permit a person to kill an innocent non-aggressor, even to save his own life."

Note: The Fourteenth Amendment declares in part that “…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.”
