Starting to see a pattern yet?
But Gregg you've gone off the reservation. Even if pro-family /pro-life organizations called for Obama to be impeached and removed from office, it would be highly unlikely considering the Democrat congressional majorities in both houses.
While this is true, it still doesn't absolve pro-lifers of our solemn obligation to demand that every office holder uphold their constitutionally sworn oath to protect and defend the inalienable right to life.
Pro-lifers nation-wide could then push for pro-life governors to issue executive orders in their individual states to close down abortion clinics and criminalize any abortionist who ends the life of any unborn baby.
If such a pro-life governor, like for example, Bobby Jindal of Louisiana would take the lead in merely abiding by his oath and closing down all the abortion clinics in Louisiana, this would go a long way. The courts could rule that such an executive order would most likely be "unconstitutional" but how could enforcing the constitutional right to life be "unconstitutional?" If the court did issue such an unconstitutional opinion, the governor should call for their impeachment and ignore such a lawless "ruling." (Just as Romney, Palin and Schwarzenegger should have done when courts in their states issued similar anti-constitutional opinions regarding gay "marriage," domestic partner benefits and abortion which they all illegally enforced as if actual law) What do truly pro-life governors who believe that every baby possesses an unalienable right to life which no federal or state government may violate have to lose? If they are waiting for Roe to be "overturned," they will be waiting for at least another 40 years given the current make-up of the Supreme Court.
And what about pro-abortion governors who refuse to uphold their oath to protect and defend the inalienable right to life? Pro-life legislators and citizens could call for their removal from office for violating their oaths and citizens could circumvent pro-abortion governors and legislatures by placing personhood amendments on the ballot.
The bottom line is that if we are ever going to end abortion we must acknowledge the fact that the old strategy of "overturning Roe" (a virtual impossibility given the fact that Obama is likely to appoint at least 3 pro-abortion justices to the SC in the next 4 years) by electing more Republicans etc... has been a losing strategy. We must accept the reality that we have conceded a toxic liberal lie for the last 30-years-- that courts can make law and that Roe is the "supreme law of the land." We must acknowledge that Roe was an unconstitutional and lawless declaratory opinion which President Nixon and every governor and state legislature in every state should have rejected and ignored at the time. We pro-lifers must acknowledge that for too long we have failed to demand that our elected representatives uphold their constitutionally sworn oaths to protect and defend the inalienable right to life.
If we are going to end abortion in America, we must demand that our elected representatives merely uphold their constitutional oaths to protect and defend the inalienable right to life. No need to pass constitutional amendments. The right to life is already guaranteed in our Founding documents. It is time that those of us who believe that the right to life is unalienable hold our elected representatives accountable for violating their oaths instead of rewarding them with our time, money and votes.
Can you imagine if the leading pro-family and pro-life organizational leaders as well as the leading pro-life pundits and radio talkers all called for the president of the United States to issue an executive order to close down every abortion mill in the country? Can you imagine what could happen in this country if tens of millions of Americans realized that Roe is not and never has been actual law and that the right to life is already guaranteed in our Constitution and that all we have to do to end abortion is to demand that our elected representatives who work for us merely abide by their sworn oaths?
If we pro-lifers want to achieve total victory (i.e. ending abortion forever as opposed to the current strategy of merely regulating it), we must realize that we control our own destiny and the destiny of tens of millions of those not even yet conceived. If we fail to hold our own elected representatives accountable for upholding their sworn oaths to protect and defend the inalienable right to life we shouldn't complain about the culture of death many of us who call ourselves "pro-life" have been complicit in creating and sustaining.
Why continue to perpetuate a losing strategy instead of following the Constitutional guidelines our founders gave us?"
So what do you say Focus on the Family, Concerned Women of America, American Family Association, American Center for Law and Justice, Family Research Council, Alliance Defense Fund, National Right to Life, Priests for Life, American Right to Life, Jim Bopp, Tony Perkins, , Gary Bauer, Donald Wildmon, Mat Staver, Rick Scarborough, Jay Sekulow, Wendy Wright, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, Glen Beck, Michael Medved, Hugh Hewitt and Sean Hannity?
If you believe that babies in the womb possess an unalienable right to life which no federal or state government may violate as guaranteed in our Declaration and Constitution, will you join me in calling for President Bush to issue an executive order to shut down every abortion clinic in America?
Or should we continue waiting for Roe to be "overturned" while 50 million more babies are killed in the process?
