The American Right to Life Lies

I hate abortion.  I think it is beyond sick for women to destroy the unborn solely for the sake of living the life they want rather than face the consequences of their situation.  This mentality is pervasive in our comfortable society where it’s OK to do what you want in the moment in order to avoid the consequences tomorrow.  But worse consequences always follow.  It’s a natural law of mankind that cannot be avoided.

I have no sympathy for women who realize that they’ve committed a heinous murder.  We all have our shames to take with us to death and there isn’t anything you can do to avoid.  I believe that George Tiller probably went to Hell, not for what he did, but because what he did was a clear indicator of his heart and God judges only the heart.  A man saved by Grace given to us by Jesus doesn’t do those terrible things.  It is poetic that he was killed in the one place he really did pay much attention to.  Reminds of when Ezekiel had a vision of the defiled temple.

But the pro-life movement itself has been taken over by Statist radicals.  I guess it was inevitable.  When the Democrats made it clear that the pro-life position wasn’t welcome in their party, they moved to the Republican side.  That is probably were a significant number of RINOs can from actually.  Not all, but probably a good chunk.

The American Right to Life appears to be one such movement.  The reason I say this is because of this profile they’ve put up on Ron Paul.  They have pegged him as a pro-choice, pro-abortion scumbag.  That is ridiculous on its face and it is a clear attack on the more libertarian wing of the Republican party.  If you need any proof, let this video show you his stance on abortion:

It is plain as day what his stance is.

But why?  Why does this group commit liable against Ron Paul?  Well, there are few reasons that I’ve thought up:

  • His pro-war stance.  Because he refuses to tow the general GOP line on our interventionist policies and claimed that we would better off if we weren’t at war with one enemy or the next.  The American Right to Life organization could be just doing this in order to remove support from him because of his stance on the war on terrorism and interventionist policies in general.  This would be that they are a Statist organization masquerading as a conservative organization that happens to be pro-life.
  • The other reason, and Paul touched on this in the video, is because he doesn’t tow the line when it comes to combating abortion.  Pro-life groups use it to push for pro-life judges mostly.  Many don’t mind that Planned Parenthood receives millions of Federal tax dollars (not to mention the state tax dollars they get as well) and still post record profits, despite being considered a non-profit organization.  Many pro-life groups don’t lobby to have this funding removed.  Even when Republicans had Congress and the Whitehouse, they never removed that funding from the budget.  Probably because Laura Bush wants women to be able to kill their unborn.

I am really sick of this crap.  I am sick of groups like this treating well-meaning conservatives like Ron Paul as dirt.  I swear I will never give a cent to a pro-life organization as a donation of any kind.  It is clear to me that they are on the wrong path and they are not interested in outlawing this heinous crime, much like the black civil rights groups aren’t interested in fixing poverty in the black community.

It just makes me sick.

  2. All a politician has to do to win over many conservatives is call him or herself 'pro-life' and everything else doesn't matter all that much. Think Mike Huckabee or Mitt Romney.

  3. Ben:

    Emphasizing key words, a section of Ron Paul's Sanctity of Life Act reads as follows:

    `Sec. 1260. Appellate jurisdiction; limitation



    `Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 1253, 1254, and 1257, the Supreme Court shall not have jurisdiction to review, by appeal, writ of certiorari, or otherwise, any case arising out of any statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, practice, or any part thereof, or arising out of any act interpreting, applying, enforcing, or effecting any statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, or practice, on the grounds that such statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, practice, act, or part thereof--



    `(1) protects the rights of human persons between conception and birth; or



    `(2) prohibits, limits, or regulates--



    `(A) the performance of abortions;


    So, just looking at the pertinent words in bold type, it reads: "The Supreme Court shall not have jurisdiction to review any case arising out of any statute on the grounds that such statute regulates the performance of abortions."


    In other words, if a state declares abortion is legal within its own borders, the Supreme Court would have no authority to overturn that decision. Therefore, although Ron Paul's rhetoric says our rights come from our Creator, the law he wrote says the states should have the right to overrule God and declare abortion to be legal.

  4. That's fine, if Ron Paul is pushing the Tenth Amendment option for abortion, that works just as well. After all, that is what happens when you overturn Roe v. Wade anyway.

    My overall point is that despite all this, the pro-life movement only seems interested in getting the "right" kind of judges and ignored just about every other avenue of fighting abortion. Ron Paul offers an alternative, and he gets slammed by them.

    I am by no means an ardent supporter of Ron Paul (I've already called for his resignation because of his earmarks in last year's stimulus bill). But to label someone who is clearly pro-life and believes that abortion is wrong as 'pro-choice' is hypocritical and indicates a large political agenda at work.

    When the American Right to Life starts lobbying for the removal of tax dollars to Planned Parenthood, I may start taking them seriously.
