Vote ProLife
In New Hampshire, Primary Day is Tuesday, September 9th.
For years I’ve trusted advocacy groups to help me sort through the rhetoric and get to the truth. Some groups expose positions that range from gun rights to economic issues. Although there are lots of important issues to sort through, the first one is life.
Does a candidate advocate for protections for all human life or the destruction of certain class or category of people? Will they enact laws that promote the right to life or the right to imposed death. Usually, if a legislator protects the Right to Life, they will protect other rights also.
The oldest and most active ProLife advocacy groups in NH is New Hampshire Right to Life. They espouse a whole life, no exceptions, no compromise position on the Right to Life for all people from conception to natural death, without regard to age, size, level of development, degree of dependence, circumstances of conception, socioeconomic status or potential productivity.
This is not to impose any responsibility on the State to take care of people, cradle to grave, but it does mean that the State will not be complicit in killing people, either by direct statute or by neglecting to provide deterrents and prosecution of perpetrators.
Many people accuse me of advocating for women to be jailed if they submit to abortion. I don’t, but this was common practice in the USA until right around 1900.
Pandora’s box has been opened by the unconstitutional decision by the Supreme Court, known as Roe v. Wade. The laws that protected pre born babies toppled one after another, state by state. The unfettered abortion vendors were free to dehumanize the smallest most vulnerable members of society and deceive women into believing they were merely removing a blob of undeveloped mush. In reality, babies are quite formed and developed to clearly and easily discernible human status before most women even suspect they are pregnant.
Moreover, the dehumanization and disregard for human life has invaded every aspect of our culture. From the smallest to the elderly, the value placed on people is very evident in the ways we treat people or mistreat them, as the case may be. Our media entertainment is full of gratuitous violence. Children are sold into sex slavery. Murder and violence is a daily occurrence. And yet, it is still worse in other parts of the world.
The US has held onto threads of the moral code that our Founders put in place with the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. We have lost a lot of integrity as a nation, but there are still really good people, full of integrity and who hold the view that all men are created equal and deserve the Right to life.
Can we recover from a generation of loss? Can we return to a society that values all people? Can we ever heal the national wound caused by the deaths of scores of millions of souls that are not here? Can our country ever thrive without the ingenuity, talent, strength and collective value of so many lost?
With those here now, together we might be able to. Technology has opened the eyes of this generation. We know, without a doubt that lives are being taken.
The question is, will this generation place enough value on human life to protect it?
