Only if the baby were a nonperson lump of cells, ripped apart and removed when unwanted by the baby's mother, could the baby be considered as not having constitutional rights.<br /><br />But because the baby in the womb is recognized as a person then, by definition, the unborn baby does have constitutional rights. And because the baby in the womb is indeed a person—as Christians recognize—then the abortion of that person is murder, which morally demands that the murderers be brought to justice. <br /><br />By not including such justice as part of their pro-life efforts, some Christian groups obliterate their own moral claim to being opposed to murder-by-abortion, and reduce their pro-life preference to an equivalent one of choosing appropriate-colored socks to put on. If abortion is wrong because it is murder—and it is, on a genocidal scale—rather than wearing the wrong color of socks, then a pro-life position must truly include a demand for justice.Carl Vehsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00348831096001668813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-53568960913295871542016-04-08T15:52:31.617-05:002016-04-08T15:52:31.617-05:00@Anonymous

Also as part of the government (<i>We, the People</i>) we need to pray for and encourage our elected and appointed officials, including the juries, to seek justice by indicting, trying, convicting and sentencing such lying, murdering traitors as Hillary.<br /><br />And we should warn her supporters of what Noah Webster once <a href="http://pastoralmeanderings.blogspot.com/2016/03/vulgarity-goes-main-street.html?showComment=1457199307647#c5324802276503458531" rel="nofollow">wrote</a>, "When a citizen gives his suffrage [vote] to a man [or woman] of known immorality, he abuses his trust and he sacrifices not only his interest but that of his neighbor. He betrays the interest of his country."<br /><br />And a blessed Eastertide to you in Wyoming.Carl Vehsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00348831096001668813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-50393777221902772622016-04-08T14:31:59.038-05:002016-04-08T14:31:59.038-05:00@ Mr. Vehse,

We condemn her speech and actions, but ask God to grant her repentance.
