What Right to Life March?

What Right to Life March?

In a sane world, there would be no need for an annual Right to Life March on Washington.

The God-given right to life in Natural Law was declared in the Declaration of Independence as among the 3 most basic tenets of that document: “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” It was reinforced in the Fourteenth Amendment to our Constitution: “nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”

The fact that abortion was legalized thirty eight years ago by the Supreme Court in no way negates Natural Law nor the clear intent in the Declaration or in the Constitution. As with the Dred Scott Decision, Roe v. Wade merely reflected the climate of the times and the agitation of certain elements in society which succeeded in using the subterfuge of questioning personhood as the basis for overturning a fundamental right.

Scott was determined to be a non-person in Dred Scott v. Sandford in 1857 and pre-born human beings were deprived of their status as persons by Roe v. Wade in 1973. Both judgements represented indelible and shameful stains on the integrity of the Supreme Court. The 1857 decision resulted in the Civil War, the 1973 decision necessitated the annual Right to Life March.

Braving bitter cold, that march of tens of thousands took place in Washington on January 24th but unless careful attention was paid, few Americans aside from the marchers would have noticed. Demonstrating the continuing power of pro-abortionists, the national media, with the exception of Fox News, all but totally ignored it.

If the march were a protest by tens of thousands against Pro-Lifers, it would have been front page news and the lead story on every television network in the land.

Nevertheless, the Right to Life Movement continues the good, the just and moral fight against a grave wrong in our country which has already claimed in excess of 52,000,000 innocent lives with 1,200,000 abortions still being performed every year, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a semi-autonomous division of Planned Parenthood.

Fortunately for the pre-born and for the nation’s soul, that battle has been bolstered by the presence and support of some very good people . . .
