Individual States of the American Union are pushing back
against the godless SCOTUS decision of 1973 in Roe v. Wade which legalized baby-killing
for any reason. Justin Smith elaborates on this sanctity of human life usurped
by Leftist Court decisions.

Life Is A Sacred Gift
The Unborn Child's Right to Life
By Justin O. Smith

Intellectual dishonesty is the only condition that allows so
many Americans to call the murder of unborn children "a right to
privacy". It allows the sacred union between men and women and their
joining in love to be diminished and made so casual to the point that any product
of sex can simply be tossed in the garbage, like so much refuse. It has become
a cover for denying one's own responsibility and the consequences for any
'mistake', as far too many deny their own irresponsible behavior, and instead,
they relax comfortably in their ignoble position that destroys the sanctity of
life and kills a baby that has a soul, without
a valid reason sanctioned by God, an act tantamount to infanticide.
Recently, after chaos broke out during a debate over a
proposed abortion bill in Alabama's state Senate, Lieutenant Governor Will
Ainsworth said, "It is important
that we pass this statewide abortion ban legislation and begin a long overdue
effort to directly challenge Roe v. Wade".
Not long afterwards on May 14th 2019, Alabama Governor Kaye
Ivey signed into law the Alabama Human Life Protection Act,
without exceptions for rape and incest, that was approved by overwhelming
majorities in both chambers of the legislature. The Governor noted: "To the bill's many
supporters, this legislation stands as a powerful testament to Alabamian's
deeply held belief that every life is precious and that every life is a sacred
gift from God."
This is the issue nationwide. Far too many Americans are not
willing to acknowledge the fact that sex between a man and a woman is a sacred
matter ordained by God. They are not willing to admit that the product of such
unions -- a little vulnerable innocent live baby -- cannot and must not be
taken away on a whim, due to the inconvenience it may cause them.
Abby Johnson, one of the
youngest ever to head a Planned Parenthood clinic, had her come to Jesus moment
at a time in her life, when she had already facilitated nearly 22,000
abortions. One day in October 2009, she was asked to assist in an abortion at
the clinic in Texas. Here is her emotional testimony:
"Ultimately I left [Planned Parenthood] after witnessing a live ...
procedure where I saw a thirteen week old baby fight and struggle for his life
against the abortion instruments only to lose his life, and I knew there was
humanity in the womb. I knew that for all these years I had essentially put the
rights of the woman above the rights of the unborn child, and it became very
clear to me in that moment that our rights should be equal -- that one
shouldn't supersede the other."
It is accurate to state that a newly created human being is
human because it has its own very specific and unique DNA. Life begins at
fertilization and any action that puts an end to human life is indisputably a
homicide, not matter how cute, obtuse or disingenuous one wants to be on the
topic. Unborn children are not property or parasites to be discarded at
will.
It's important to note here that Roe v. Wade is a 1973
lawless ruling by the Supreme Court that has been foisted upon a majority of
states in stark contravention of actual laws that they passed. There is not one
actual law in existence that states a woman has a right to an abortion, and
nowhere does any such thing exist within the constitution, something the
Supreme Court conceded in the Roe decision itself. The Court uncertainly
concluded that any guarantee of personal privacy only extended to areas such as
procreation, contraception and childrearing.
Shortly after Roe was delivered by the Court, John Hart Ely,
a supporter of legalized abortion and a Harvard Law School professor, wrote: "Roe is bad ...
because it is not constitutional law and gives almost no sense of an obligation
to try to be."
Justice Blackmun offered no sound logic in support of
his decision, and in the forty-six years since the Roe v. Wade ruling shoved
its way into American society, no one has produced a convincing defense of Roe
on its own terms and merit.
Before Roe v. Wade this issue fell to each respective state
to determine democratically through the duly elected representatives. The
Supreme Court's dictate was erroneous on its face, and this judicial tyranny
resulted in the circumvention of the will of the people at the time and the
deprivation of the states' authority and rights under the 9th and 10th Amendments, every bit as
bad as if a despot had been in control of America.
Much of the precedence for our legal system emanates from English
Common Law, and as such, we would be negligent if we didn't note
that many early U.S. lawyers such as Louis Brandeis and Sam Warren drew heavily
on English Common Law in 1890, when they wrote the Right to Privacy. They revealed
that William Blackstone, an English legal scholar whose words shaped our
Declaration of Independence, declared specific rights for the unborn child writing:
"Qui in utero, est pro jam nato
habetur quoties de ejus commodo quaeritur: One who is in the womb is held
as already born, whenever a question arises for its benefit."
Currently, there are nearly twenty other states poised to
act more stridently to ban abortion, and with recent changes in the membership
of the Supreme Court, any challenges have a good chance to be struck down. It
also appears that some states are purposefully crafting these laws precisely to
see Roe v. Wade rescinded in the affirmative support for the life of the unborn
child. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch are probably the
most certain pro-life Justices; in February of this year, Thomas wrote that Roe
was among the Court's "most notoriously incorrect decisions",
and he gave the 1857 decision of Dred Scott v. Sanford as another equally bad
decision that said black slaves were property and not citizens.
People just don't understand the Constitution, if they agree
to submit to unconstitutional rulings, especially in light of the fact that the
Supreme Court has admitted to being wrong over 300 times by reversing their own
rulings. And more importantly, Americans no longer seem to
understand their own divine nature having been created in the image of God.
I grew up understanding that all souls were known to God
long before He gave Us our human form, by way of my dear Grandmother's constant
reminder as she recited Jeremiah 1:5 from the Old Testament:
"Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I set
you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." Just as God knows
and loves each of Us long before we are born, Americans, people everywhere,
must learn to love the Unborn Child while he or she is still in the
womb.
Americans must fight for the right of all human life to
exist, despite the sad truth that a generation and a half have lived in America
seeing legality as a basis for their morality, no matter how wrong or heinous
the act. Abortion must be revealed for the morally reprehensible act it truly
is, an act that has reduced medicine to tearing limbs from feeling beautiful
unborn babies, while we also move American society towards ending the federal
legality of abortion and returning the issue to the states. Americans
must stop killing babies for fear of poverty and any other rationalized false
justification. We must protect our children in the streets and in the womb and
stop this insane acceptance of infanticide, or surely one day face the wrath of
God.
