I’m going to tell you, now, about a person encounter that I once had
with an abortionist. And, as much as I hate to say it, this is the rather
disturbing truth about abortionists.
In 2003 a friend of mine, Leon Holmes, was nominated, by then
president George W. Bush, to the judiciary of the U.S. District Court for
the Eastern District of Arkansas. I attended a meeting of angry liberals
who were opposed to (then president) Bush’s nominations to the federal
judiciary, which was held in downtown Little Rock, Arkansas at the
University of Arkansas’ William Bowen School of Law.
During this liberal bitch-fest, a man who was sitting behind me shouted
out, “What are we going to do about Leon Holmes?!” After the meeting
adjourned I turned to the man and asked him, “So what’s your problem
with Leon Holmes?” He said, “He’s pro-life” and I said, “So what’s wrong
with that? What are you, pro-abortion?” He said, “Yes, actually I used to
be an abortionist.” I said, “What did you do, graduate at the bottom of
your class in medical school?” He said, “How did you know?” I said, “It
just figures . . . if you’re lousy at healing people then you’re probably a lot
better at killing them.”
The U. S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision was made upon a very
sketchy legal premise: a right to privacy, which is not explicitly stated but
was “discovered” to exist, in the Fourteenth Amendment to the U. S.
Constitution. And this decision mandates—contrary to state laws
prohibiting abortion on demand—the legality of abortion on demand in all
fifty states, contrary to the Tenth Amendment. In fact, if the abortion issue
had not been removed from the political arena to the courts, it would be
left up to the people of each state and their elected representatives to
decide the issue, as it should have been. As things stand now, abortion on
demand is available in every state, regardless of the peoples of the fifty
states feel about abortion on demand (think: McAbortion or Wal-Abortion
here).
“We hold these truths to be self evident: that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that
among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness . . .”
As I’ve said elsewhere, this is just one, important example of just off-
track—at the philosophical level—our nation has gotten. This rejection of
natural law— by Biden and most others—has been going on for many,
many years now. This undermining of natural law has been the legal basis
for denuding the Bill of Rights: our rights no longer come from nature and
nature’s God (natural law), they now come from men in high government
places (positive law) and this is how our government has been taking them
away.
Think about it: if men and governments give us our rights, then men
and governments can also take away those same rights, which is exactly
what’s been happening. But if our rights come from nature and nature’s
God then they are inalienable rights, which men and governments can
never take away.
I’d really like you to think about this too: Since Dr. King’s crusade
against segregation was based upon natural law—as found in America’s
founding documents—what do you think happens to his crusade when we
reject natural law for positive law? That’s right: white people’s rights can
trump black people’s rights.
