Abortion And The Election

Hi y’all,

I feel that I need to make a few comments because of the presidential elections. The premier moral issue of our day is abortion. This is nothing more than the murder of innocent life. Some candidates have suggested that this issue be dealt with on the state level, much as it was around the time of Roe V. Wade. However, this logic is dangerous in the extreme. The fact is that the Declaration of Independence says in paragraph 2, “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, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to affect their Safety and Happiness.” This is clear that life is held to be a right given by God and protected by the Declaration of Independence and the further document the Constitution. Further the 10^th amendment states, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” Thus this is a constitutional issue. To leave this issue to the states is to allow states such as California to allow for the murder of the unborn. This is not a time to allow anyone to violate the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of The United States. It is not that I disagree with States’ rights. Those who know me know that I am adamant about States’ rights. But this is not a States’ rights issue. It is a constitutional issue, thus needing to be handled on another level. I cannot and will not vote for someone who would allow one person to murder another, especially a baby.
