For starters, our Civil Rights are an outgrowth of our Constitution. For that Constitution, one must have a legal right (you want legislation so here it is) to the protection of the Constitution. In order to claim the rights of the Constitution one must be a Citizen of the U.S.A.

Just out of curiosity, how do you feel about Dems insisting we confer constitutional rights on illegal enemy combatants?

William Wilberforce, did indeed work tirelessly to end slavery on the grounds of its moral repugnance. He continuously failed. This is a testament to his courage and resilience, however, moral arguments were not what ultimately changed the law. It was strategy. He worked to put in place legislation that he knew would undercut the slave trade. Then, when the industry was limping along with hardly any support, the final blow in the form of legislation.

Contrast that with the end of slavery in the States. It took an embittered and bloody coup to finally end slavery in the states. Not only that, there was such great resentment at the forced approach that hatred and racism marked the antebellum South as long as a century later.

If we were smart, pro-lifers would learn the lessons of history. Our strategy should be undermine the culture’s reliance on abortion. When the culture no longer relies on the practice, it is then that we should aim our blows. Abe Lincoln said, “Public opinion in this country is everything”. We have to change the mindset before we change the laws. Right now, there are strong fears and emotions involved in the huge push for abortion rights (see: Gerri Santoro). We need to address the reasons women feel pressured to seek abortions and attack it at the root.

I agree that Planned Parenthood is good for my daughters and sons. I strongly think that Jesus would have approved that. You know why? Jesus was the friend of sinners not the self-righteous who think they know God’s will but did not see that God is Love.
