The Supreme Court of 1973 exceeded its authority in placing constitutional protections on human abortion, and in so doing, replaced the founding principles of an America that safeguards life and liberty with justice for all, with an America that has condoned legally-sanctioned human death facilities responsible for 61 million unborn children so far, not counting the humanity that is ended in the womb because of abortion pills. That official death toll rises at about 2,500 to 3,000 per day and has become a corporatized, government-protected industry that receives more than $500 million in tax funds on an yearly basis.
How does our moral American power projection upon the world effect how other countries behave on account of human abortion?
Originally, our American constitution was crafted with a spirit of life, liberty, and justice for all. Since then, leaders have arisen to bring about that more perfect American union. People like John and Abigail Adams, their son John Quincy Adams, Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, Thurgood Marshall, Martin Luther King, and Ronald Reagan, distinctly understood that key challenges to the American precepts were our application of these three ideas. In his diaries, as early as 1803, John Quincy Adams, then a young Senator in Congress, was clear on his understanding of these core precepts, recognizing slavery as a stain on the constitution. He was not an abolitionist, though he worked to end slavery. Like his parents, John Quincy Adams was a professional Christian; with his clarity and practice of the foundational American principles making him the embodiment of that American spirit during his long tenure of public service. Assuredly, he was the son of his parents in spirit and action. In her letters to her husband, First Lady Abigail Adams initially addresses the issue of human enslavement:
Boston Garison Sepbr 22 1774
“I wish most Sincerely there was not a Slave in the province. It allways appears a most iniquitious Scheme to me, fight ourselfs for what we are daily robbing and plundering from those who have as good a right to freedom as we have.”
Ultimately, is this not the story of human civilization? with the United States on the forefront on how that story unfolds because of its founding principles? What we have in the year 2020 is now a tale of two cities. We have these two competing America’s with the issue of human abortion being its fault line. As soon as we completed the constitutional protection of Americans of black skin color, we again placed ourselves in misalignment with God’s spirit in 1973 with the Supreme Court decision to legalize it. The very foundation of the country survived in John Quincy Adams alone, until Frederick Douglass began his professional career. Abraham Lincoln became emboldened to make what was a war of secession become a war of abolition. These three men, continued the spirit of 1776; A spirit brought forth by John Adams in the Continental Congress. They had to be these political scientists as they went about preserving the union in thought, with passion, and in action.
Who are our hero’s? They can only be those who are unspotted from the travail of human slavery, from racial oppression, and from the apathy of targeting our unborn children as disposable. Behold! Our hero’s are the passionate and strong couple, John and Abigail Adams, their steadfast sentinel son, John Quincy Adams, All American Frederick Douglass, our enduring Abraham Lincoln who did the right thing, the relentless attorney, Thurgood Marshall, who approached the Supreme Court 32 times, our wonderful, brave man of the people Martin Luther King who had strength to love his enemies, and our warm President Ronald Reagan who brought all his soul and might in his essay and book, Abortion and the Conscience of the Nation. Such a man Ronald Regan was that he withstood the diplomacy of being the popular president, and instead, for thirty minutes thrashed abortionism to the ground on March 8, 1983, in what his detractors have called, his televised ‘Evil Empire’ speech. The force of his word so powerful that the cameramen shut down the telecast five minutes before he concluded.
Our constitution is heroic? no! it is our selfless hero’s who embody these virtues that are the binds of love that hold the American community together. It is the inheritance we have in the letters between John and Abigail Adams that puts a portion of that spirit on paper. It is the dedication of Frederick Douglass to go speak to the hearts and minds of the community; town to town, city to city in the United States, Ireland, and England. It was in his unswerving love of what America had to be that he started his newspapers to pressurize the government and to reach and strengthen Abraham Lincoln.
Hero’s that will not be accepted by many in this generation, but whose dedication to our natural, God-given rights as humans will be pivotal for the continuation of our national community. I see gentile, patient, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas with his love of what this country should always stand for standing in the breach, and I see scores of American citizens hearts and minds awakened, even with good fire, calling for that more perfect, just union based on the love of defending each others life and liberty.
The cause of life, liberty and justice is of great importance. Our educational and cultural system will be impacted because of it; the establishment of an American civilization that chooses love and not death to the unborn human will be the last crown for the United States of America as it moves towards that line for a more perfect union, one based on love; one that sais there is enough space for those unborn children in this country. A more perfect union that is fundamentally clear on the importance of valuing life, liberty and justice for all is a society of patient, caring, enduring folk who are problem-solvers; solution-oriented bringers of light, warmth, and the peace that only God, that very Prince of Peace, gives.
May those justices in our Supreme Court have the bravery, strength, and clear fortitude to end the standard of death that dismembers our souls with forceps, vacuums, saline-burns, and instead, have the gravitas to recognize an American constitutional understanding exemplifying that we cherish the defense of life, and the recognition of our natural, God-given liberties in all of our stages of development.
