Please spread the word.

Would this legislation actually overturn Roe v. Wade?
Yes, it would. Few people realize that Roe v. Wade shows us the way to its own downfall. The key passage, written by the author of the majority opinion, Justice Harry Blackmun, states in unequivocal terms: “If personhood is established, the case for legalized abortion collapses, for the fetus' right to life would be guaranteed by the 14th Amendment." (Roe v. Wade, Majority Decision, Section IX) The pro-life movement keeps trying to make believe that it can work within the framework of Roe v. Wade, gradually chipping away at abortion. At the same time, the number of victims of abortion keeps climbing and well-intentioned laws are struck down time after time by the monolith of Roe v. Wade. The Right to Life Act faces the reality that the wall of abortion is still intact. Roe v. Wade itself offers us the key to bring down abortion, that key is personhood, and the Congress has ample room under our Constitution to define it to include the unborn.

The thing that bothers me about reversing R/W is the number of dead bodies that will follow. Most people don't remember the number of "Back Alley Abortions" that occurred back then, but I do. This is the down side because it invites the unqualified medical hack to open a chop shop.

What a wonderful thing! I pray this bill is passed.

This law would be fantastic.

I must make an admission.

My girlfriend of three months got pregnant...wait I got her pregnant.

Anyways, after knowing her for only three months and I and her were very young, I thought it best she have an abortion.

Thank the good Lord above she had more sense than I did.

My son is one of the two most beautiful things in my life and in this world in my opinion. We had a little girls two years later. We are not together anymore and I don't get to live with my children full time, but since I have had children I am totally against abortion and killing fertilized embryos for research.

Granted we didn't have brains to be having unprotected sex but that's no reason to kill my son and daughter.

There names are Zaine and Kendra. 4 yr. and 6 yr. old

They are not little masses of tissue not yet formed into a human. They are, and will always, be my children and my favorite gift from God.

Thank you for this post.
We're keeping praying stronger than ever.
God bless you.

[Got a right to Life? . . Huh?]

I believe this will be the beginning of the end of abortion on demand in America. The evidence of per-born person-hood is so great that I believe the Supreme Court, with one or two more conservative nominations, would have no choice but to uphold the constitutionality if this law. It is a debate that is long overdue and a debate in which I plan to be very active.

Someone asked, [why was this not done earlier?] The democrats held a majority in congress for more that 30 years. Even with a strong republican majority, the passage of The Right to Life Act of 2005 will be an up hill battle. Some states like to elect fiscal conservatives, but endure or prefer pro-abortion republicans like Chafee, Snowe, Spector, etc.

Our job will be to convince the public and our Congessmen of the validity of the human rights that will be restored under this new law. We will also need to restore in the public mindset, an optimistic picture of American life without abortion. I beleive that the public is way ahead of the politicians with regard to a major shift in abortion policy. It will take a major public push to get politicians to take a major step in the inevitable restoration of human rights in America.
