The argument against killing an unborn person: a defense of the defenseless.

The argument against killing an unborn person: a defense of the defenseless.

We begin with the Declaration of Independence: the fundamental premises therein precisely stated, upon which this nation was conceived (came into pre-birthed existence).

In the preamble, the Founding Fathers describe the state of existence in which all men are entitled to live, “under the law of nature and nature’s God,” and separation from those who were depriving us of this right is given as the first cause prompting them to Declare Independence from them.

The law of nature is the law that is self-evident, proving itself in the experience, and relates to the whole duty of man: to self-govern by a well-formed conscience that promotes peace in minds and in societies. (example: killing, imposing your will upon another, or stealing are acts that destroy the peace. This truth proves itself true and becomes self-evident when it is experienced – even in a wilderness void of written law.)

The law of God is written law memorializing the rules of civilization, and from which these ideas can be, when taught, learned without having to suffer the experience.

The Declaration goes to generally describe these rights, to life, liberty, and to pursue happiness (by wealth or peace – security in estate), as endowed by our Creator, which secures them from the whims of men who seek to destroy the peace, by stealing, imposing their will upon others, or deny happiness by placing under threat the much or little others possess. It says “to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”

With these principles in mind, to birth them into the law of the land and bring a new nation into the world, the Constitution was written. Its intention was to keep our Government just, by restriction of its powers, only allowing it to act in ways that promote the General Welfare: which defines the “general” state, of wellness and comity, that comes when men are self-governed by a well-formed conscience and willingly respect these rights. (We are now in a world, which, by rejecting these ideas and replacing them with their antithesis, has become without this form, and in the void of their ignorance unable to reap the value found in these treasures of knowledge. It, without learning from written knowledge, has again taken itself into experiencing its truth self-evidently demonstrated, as the result is reproduced in the current state without peace or security.)

The people of the States, fearing the National body could become antithetical to these principles, the larger states or groups of states imposing their will upon the others, (even as now to the point of legalizing death without due process,) before they agreed to ratification, demanded other more specific protections.

As we know, these additional protections are the Bill of Rights (even though protection against these abuses already existed in the Constitution’s republican principles – see Federalist #10, the conclusion in the last two paragraphs saying, “The influence of factious leaders may kindle a flame within their particular States, but will be unable to spread a general conflagration through the other States. A religious sect may degenerate into a political faction in a part of the Confederacy; but the variety of sects dispersed over the entire face of it must secure the national councils against any danger from that source. A rage for paper money, for an abolition of debts, for an equal division of property, or for any other improper or wicked project, will be less apt to pervade the whole body of the Union than a particular member of it; in the same proportion as such a malady is more likely to taint a particular county or district, than an entire State.

“In the extent and proper structure of the Union, therefore, we behold a republican remedy for the diseases most incident to republican government. And according to the degree of pleasure and pride we feel in being republicans, ought to be our zeal in cherishing the spirit and supporting the character of Federalists.” By James Madison, writing as Publius.

The preamble of the Constitution says its objective is to, “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” Posterity speaks of generations yet born, and therefore it is extending to them (those not yet born) the protection of their rights, here specifically saying they have a God-given right to not have someone else impose their will on them (the Blessing of Liberty).

Science argues in favor of the fact that life begins at conception, (redundancy intended) when life begins. Modern science, which itself has in large become antithetical to the existence of the metaphysical realms, ideas of intelligent design, and argues there is no such thing as a soul, must be consistent with its own philosophy and concede this point. It also has no problem admitting abortion is killing a living creature, which is of the species human, which has a unique identity defined by their “one of a kind” DNA. They are persons!

The abortion proponents are either ignorant of these facts, or know and just don’t care. They are one of the factions arising, with an improper and wicked project, of which Madison speaks. Who, without a well conscience, have gone through the provisions of the Constitution, as a whale through a net. It is here and now they must be stopped, in the further Providence, by enforcing the Bill of Rights.

Amendment V says, “nor shall any person … be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary says procedural due process means, “a course of formal proceedings (such as legal proceedings) carried out regularly and in accordance with established rules and principles.” It says substantive due process, is “a judicial requirement that enacted laws may not contain provisions that result in the unfair, arbitrary, or unreasonable treatment of an individual.”

Among the many “rules and principles” of due process are those which establish the accused is innocent, and, if accused or charged, has the right to be defended, either by self, or if unable to provide for their own defense, a public defender is provided for them. When the case is heard, a verdict is rendered, and if found guilty the sentence is rendered and carried out. All of these ideas and protection are subverted by a perverted presupposition that defines the individual as not a member of the human species (not a person).

As we have seen in many of the most populated states, this factious idea has become popular, even to the point now of killing individuals after they have been born. This is the natural progressive degeneration into depravity, the proverbial bottomless pit into which the lawless and insane endlessly descend. These are places where the rejection and redefinition of reality remove all bounds of civilization.

This brings us to Amendment X, “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.”

This Amendment is the further reinforcement and reiteration of the protection Madison speaks of in Federalist #10, where he describes how these ideas would be contained in a place where they became popular and wouldn’t be able to be forced on the nation in total. These are the protections of a republic over a democracy.

“From this view of the subject it may be concluded that a pure democracy, by which I mean a society consisting of a small number of citizens, who assemble and administer the government in person, can admit of no cure for the mischiefs of faction. A common passion or interest will, in almost every case, be felt by a majority of the whole; a communication and concert result from the form of government itself; and there is nothing to check the inducements to sacrifice the weaker party [the innocent unborn] or an obnoxious individual. Hence it is that such democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths. Theoretic politicians, who have patronized this species of government, have erroneously supposed that by reducing mankind to a perfect equality in their political rights, they would, at the same time, be perfectly equalized and assimilated in their possessions, their opinions, and their passions.

“A republic, by which I mean a government in which the scheme of representation takes place, opens a different prospect, and promises the cure for which we are seeking.” Again, James Madison, from Federalist #10.

As to the argument where we now find it, having heretofore established an unborn human individual has the God-given and Constitutionally protected right to life, and the States have the right make their own laws, we now move forward to understand the Constitution doesn’t give the states the right to deprive life, without due process.

Amendment IX says, “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”

It is saying an idea in the Constitution cannot be construed (frowarded – twisted into perversion) to deny another right. Here where the right to life is clearly enumerated, other aspects of the Constitution cannot be twisted and contorted to produce a right to privacy that negates the right to life.

Also, because the right to life is clearly enumerated in Amendment V, the States have no authority to change it, and must under law (Amendment X) abide by it, and the Federal government has an obligation to protect this right if the states violate it.

Psalms 20

1 The LORD hear you in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend you;

2 Send you help from the sanctuary, and strengthen you out of Zion;

3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.

4 Grant you according to your own heart, and fulfil all your counsel.

5 We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.

6 Now know I that the LORD saves his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.

9 Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.
