Abortion, Declaration of Independence and the Constitution

Declaration of Independence and Constitution
Since the God, the Benefactor of our civil rights, declares that a child is a person “endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights…”, we need examine which constitutional rights are violated when a child is aborted.
A. Declaration of Independence: A child is “…endowed by their creator
with certain unalienable rights, among them life, liberty and the pursuit ofhappiness…”. Thus abortion denies the child this most basic of their God-given rights.
B. 6th Amendment in essence states that “…the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial…to be confronted with the witnesses against him, to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor…”
Abortion imposes the penalty for a capital crime upon an unborn child. In so doing the child is brutally executed without charge and without the protections this amendment affords.
C. 8th Amendment: This guarantees protection against “…cruel and unusual punishments…”
First, the child is not guilty of anything worthy of punishment.
Secondly, the unwarranted punishment of abortion is, by it’s nature “cruel and unusual”. Nowhere in America is the death penalty imposed by dismemberment in tearing the person apart until dead. Nowhere in America is the death penalty imposed which burns a person to death.
Abortion is an execution worse than that given to mass murderers. Yea, many convicted murderers are permitted to live. Not so with an unborn child whose is guilty of nothing more than being alive.
D. 14th Amendment
This amendment guarantees the protection of due process.
“…No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law, nor deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
To destroy an unborn child is a clear denial of their right to “due process” and, contrary to the provisions of this amendment abortion is a denial of the unborn child’s right to “…equal protection of the laws.” which includes the protection of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”, the core of our national and individual existence.

Roe v. Wade: A Threat to Senior Citizens?

Social Security
Presently there is an estimated two working people for every one person on social security.
In the 1950′s there were thirty-five workers for every person on social security.
Since the Roe v. Wade ruling, abortion has denied America the productivity of nearly 20 million tax paying, social security contributing citizens.
Now the Social Security fund is under greater threat with diminishing contributors and increasing number of beneficiaries. How soon will the well run dry? A national catastrophy looms.
The Unborn Now, the Aged and Infirm Next?
Several years ago a politician said that “old people have a duty to die and get out of the way.” People were outraged and he lost the election. People thought it unthinkable to say such an insensitive and callous thing.
However, Roe v. Wade via abortion on demand has devalued human life replacing moral absolutes with secular humanism/atheism. Thus, declaring man as the final authority of life and death. The unthinkable is becoming thinkable.
For example, in China there is the “one child” policy. Guess what happens if a woman is pregnant with the second child.
Secular humanism/atheism has the inherent objective (whether admitted or not) of survival and benefit of the elitist “haves.”
Before the fall of the Soviet Union I went to Russia in winter. The wind chill factor was 80 below zero.
I was shocked to see an elderly woman (about 60-70 years of age) shoveling snow from the city streets into a government dump truck.
In 1973 the nation devalued the life of helpless, unborn children. This devaluation will and is spreading like a cancer threatening the elderly and infirm.
If the American culture continues the way of secular humanism will there be a belief that the elderly and infirm “have a duty to die and get out of the way”? No one will be exempt.

SPIRITUAL DYNAMIC TO HUMAN EXISTENCE
Human life and government consist of a spiritual dynamic. The founding fathers of the nation understood this and submitted their intent and actions to “…the Supreme Judge of the world…”. (Declaration of Independence).
This “Supreme Judge” is the benefactor of our human rights. “…we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights…”. (Declaration of Independence). Consequently, when discussing abortion we need to address the spiritual dynamic and it’s impact.
Cain and Abel: God Hears the Voice of Innocent Blood
The Bible says that Abel’s blood cried out to God. God cursed Cain for killing his brother. If God heard the voice of one family member’s blood, how loud is the cry of the blood of 40 million aborted babies? What judgment awaits a nation in which this atrocity is continues. What judgment awaits a Church which does nothing?
God Indwells the Womb of a Pregnant Woman
In Jeremiah 1:5 God spoke saying “…before I formed you in the womb
I knew you…” Since God is forming the baby in the womb, where is His
presence? Obviously in the womb. Therefore what does God experience when a baby is ripped from His “arms” as He is forming the child?
The Temple Made with Stone by Human Hands—The Temple Made by God In Whom His Spirit Dwells.
When Jesus threw the money changers out of the temple he got
demonstrably angry. (John 2:14,15). Question: If He became so angry at those who defiled the temple made of stones by the hand of man, how great is His wrath against a nation who destroys His living temples made in His image and in whom the He breathes life?
Jesus Himself Experiences Every Abortion
Jesus said “…I was hungry and you fed me..naked and you clothed
me…” and the people asked when they saw Him hungry or naked, etc. He said “insomuch as you have done it (or not done it) to the least of these my brethren you have done it to me.” Matthew 25:33-end
Based on this principle can we hear Him say “I was being aborted and you helped me” (or didn’t help me?).
What does Jesus say to a Church for whom He had his body mutilated when that Church does nothing? Can we hear Christ ask: “Wasn’t once enough?”
The Writings of the Early Church Fathers
Abortion is not a 20th century atrocity. As far back as the first century A.D. abortions were practiced. Likewise the Church profoundly spoke out against this infanticide.
“We acknowledge, therefore, that life begins with conception,
because we contend that the soul begins at conception. Life
begins when the soul begins.”
Tertullian 3rd century.
“You shall not slay the child by abortions.”
Didache, 1st century book
of apostolic teachings
RU 486 is Not new.
Many think that the abortion pill is a 20th century discovery. Not so. In the 7th century the Church spoke directly to the fact that there were poisons women could take to induce an abortion
“…those who take fetus-killing poisons, they are made
subject to the penalty for murders.
Sixth Ecumenical Council
Canon XCI (681 A.D.)
Spiritual Consequences Impact the Life of Human Existence
The “Supreme Judge of the world” looks upon abortion as an act of murder and devil worship. Such spiritually rebellious and deviant behavior takes an individual and nation outside the protection of the Benefactor of our civil rights. Thus, our individual and national existence is threatened.
The Supreme Judge of the World, as understood by the founding fathers, has standards of moral behavior. Violation of those standards have consequences. Adherence to those standards bring prosperity and blessing. Such is the spiritual dynamic to the abortion issue.

God and Abortion
by Tony Nassif
president@cedarsfoundation.org
Several years ago God revealed that He, Himself, is victimized by abortion. The following unfolds this truth and the serious consequences.
The Attack
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.” (Jeremiah 1:5). What then does God experience in an abortion? It is like a mother nursing a child and an intruder breaks in ripping the baby in pieces as she watches in horror. How great is the pain, anger and torment?
Invasion of the Holy of Holies
The abortionist invades the “holy of holies” of a mother’s womb, ripping the baby from God’s arms, dismembering the child in His face. This is an act of devil worship. How does God feel being victimized 50 million times…and counting?
Jesus Get’s Angry
Jesus became enraged at the money changers at the temple (John 2: 14, 15). He beat them and drove them out. He also became enraged at those who supported the moneychanger’s desecration by buying from them. Mathew 21:12, 13
If Jesus became so angry at those who defiled His temple made of stones by man’s hand, how great is His anger at a nation who destroys His living temples made in His image in whom His Spirit dwells? (John 1:7)
Jesus Confirms the Victimization and the Accountability
When Jesus told the disciples in helping the needy they were helping him (“I was hungry and you fed me, naked and you clothed me.” Matthew 25). The gospel of John says that He is the light that gives life to everyone. Thus, Christ gives life to the child in the womb. An abortion not only destroys the child but by relation Jesus Himself experiences the atrocity.
What does He think of those who do nothing ? According to Matthew 25 those not doing anything to help the afflicted were thrown into eternal judgment.
The Early Church
Many think abortion is a contemporary issue. Not so. The early church confronted this problem and did so effectively.
“You shall not slay the child by abortions”
Didache 1st century book of apostolic teachings
“We acknowledge, therefore, that life begins at conception because we contend
that the soul begins at conception. Life begins when the soul begins.”
Tertullian, 3rd century Church Father
Remember RU486 abortion pill? Not so new.
In the 7th century A.D. the Church spoke directly to the fact that there were poisons women could take to induce an abortion.
“…those who take fetus-killing poisons, they are made subject to the penalty for murders.”
6th Ecumenical Council, Canon XCI (681 A.D.)
Cain and Abel—America and Abortion
When Cain slew Abel, God heard his blood cry out. God placed a horrendous curse on Cain for the murder. If God heard the voice of one innocent family member’s blood how loud is the cry of the blood of 50 million aborted children. If God exacted such a grievous penalty on Cain, how great is the judgment awaiting those by whom the blood of 50 million aborted children cry.
The Supreme Judge of the World
The Founding Fathers understood the authority of God i.e. “The Supreme Judge of the World”. When they wrote the Declaration of Independence they referred to God as the Supreme Judge of the World possessing standards of right and wrong with consequences of blessing or cursing.
This appeared in the last paragraph. This places all they just said they were going to do, why and their justification. The last paragraph is the capstone under which all preceding is governed.
Abortion violates the standards and morals of the Supreme Judge of the world taking the nation from under His protection to judgment. Even so, God is longsuffering waiting for the nation to repent
Jesus Physically Experienced the Same Effects of an Abortion.
When Jesus was scourged it tore the flesh off His body. In abortion the child is likewise ripped to death. What does Jesus say to the Church for whom his body was mutilated and destroyed who keep voting for candidates who support abortion ?
How great is His anger toward the Church and nation who actually supports abortion of the innocent and His victimization? Can we hear Christ say “wasn’t once enough?”
