Calling abortions "legal," to imply that they really aren't, is sill rhetoric.

Abortion is fully legal in this country. Whether it should be legal is an entirely different question.

“Abortion and euthanasia are crimes, which no human law can claim to legitimize. There is no obligation in conscience to obey such laws; instead there is a grave and clear obligation to oppose them by conscientious objection. In the case of an intrinsically unjust law, such as a law permitting abortion or euthanasia, it is therefore never licit to obey it, or to ‘take part in a propaganda campaign in favor of such a law, or vote for it’” (John Paul II -Gospel of Life).

Participation in the political process is a virtue, and every vote counts. Christians have every right to strive by legitimate means to shape public policy according to their moral convictions. We are all called to build a Culture of Life—voting is among the most important ways. Political parties are not eternal, the only thing that matters is that you vote for Jesus.

Perjury and lies and supporting lies is illegal in this country. Abortion prevents a child from his free accademic research and truth seeking. It is at the minimum illegal on grounds of obstructing the very justice upon which we claim to found abortion.

The founding documents for our nation are (1) The Declaration of Independence and (2) The Constitution of the United States. Laws that are in contradiction to those foundations are illegal. If the Supreme Court elects to ignore the Constitution and DOI, that doesn't make the illegal laws legal. It simply means our nation is enforcing illegalities.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, ...


The US Governement and the States are destructive of these ends in numerous instances.
