Personhood was widely discussed at the Supreme Court oral arguments for Roe v. Wade.
This is actual audio from the Roe v. Wade trial. Personhood has been the obvious answer,
right under our nose, from the very beginning!

ESTABLISHING PERSONHOOD FOR THE PRE-BORN, AT FERTILIZATION, WITH NO “EXCEPTIONS”,         IS THE KEY TO ENDING “ABORTION”

“The appellee and certain amici argue that the fetus is a “person” within the language and meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. In support of this, they outline at length and in detail the well-known facts of fetal development.  If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant’s [pro-abortion] case, of course, collapses, [410 U.S. 113, 157]   for the fetus’ right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the Amendment.”  The appellant conceded as much on reargument. … ”

Sanctity of Human Life Act (Personhood Bill) Re-introduced by U.S. Representative Paul Broun, M.D. (R-GA) – January 7, 2011

Sanctity of Human Life Act, H.R. 212

Praise the Lord ! This is the kind of Christian Constitutionalist statesmanship we need in the United States Congress !

Congressman Paul Broun, M.D. (R-GA):
“God cannot continue to bless America while we are killing 4,000 unborn babies every day. This atrocity must end. I will do everything I can to stop it, and I hope Americans will join me.”

—————————————————————————

Broun Reintroduces Sanctity of Human Life Act
http://broun.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=219252

“The right to life is our most important fundamental right, and it should be defended vigorously and absolutely”

Washington, Jan 7 – U.S. Representative Paul Broun, M.D. (GA-10) today reintroduced the Sanctity of Human Life Act, H.R. 212, which declares that the right to life guaranteed by the Constitution is vested in each human being, and is the paramount and most fundamental right of a person:

“The right to life is our most important fundamental right, and it should be defended vigorously and absolutely,” said Broun. “As a physician, I know on the basis of medical and scientific evidence that human life begins with fertilization. I am committed to ensuring that not even one tax dollar is used to fund abortion­but that is not enough. God cannot continue to bless America while we are killing 4,000 unborn babies every day. This atrocity must end. I will do everything I can to stop it, and I hope Americans will join me.”

The Sanctity of Human Life Act is the first bill Broun introduces each Congress.

Will Personhood Bill(s) finally pass Republican-Majority U.S. House (49-vote GOP advantage) in 112th Congress ?

The 49-vote GOP advantage Republican-Majority U.S. House is to be sworn in as part of the 112th Congress on January 5, 2011 – ONE WEEK FROM TODAY !!!

HOUSE CALENDAR
January 2011
112th Congress, First Session
http://republicanwhip.house.gov/Calendar/112th1stSessionCalendar.pdf
January 5 – Swearing-In Day

How long is it going to take these Republicans to do their first moral duty, and insure that no PERSON is deprived of LIFE without due process of law, including PERSONS in the womb, beginning at fertilization, with no exceptions !!!???


The first Creator-endowed, unalienable right, is the right to life. All other rights are secondary to the right to life. Without the “right to life” secure, no other “right” has meaning, no other “right” is secure. It’s common sense.


America’s greatest problem is spiritual. America has rejected the Lord Jesus Christ, and so America has rejected the Law of God, including Exodus 20:13, KJB. Repentance, by Christians, is God’s remedy to bring healing to America (2 Chronicles 7:14, KJB). It is the responsibility of Christians to be Salt and Light to this nation (Matthew 5:13-16, KJB).


Child-killing is the most important moral issue facing America today – to stop the shedding of innocent blood which incurs the wrath and judgment of God (read Jeremiah chapter 19, Psalm 106:37-44, and 2 Kings chapters 24 and 25, KJB).


Child-murder/sacrifice-by-“abortion” is an OFFENSE to GOD. ACCORDING TO GOD’S OWN WORDS, child-sacrifice defiles His Sanctuary, and profanes His Holy Name (Leviticus 20:3, KJB). If that does not make it a priority for remedy, then clearly this is a nation that does not have the proper reverential FEAR OF GOD.

CHILD-MURDER BY “ABORTION” CAN BE ENDED BY RECOGNIZING THE PERSONHOOD OF PRE-BIRTH HUMAN BEINGS, AT FERTILIZATION, WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS.

PERSONHOOD BILLS AND CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS: 1989 and 1993 – 2010.

After over 20 years that Personhood Legislation has been filed in the United States House of Representatives ( going back continuously to at least 1993, and, with interruption, going back to at least 1989 ); and at various times in the United States Senate …

… WILL FEDERAL PERSONHOOD BILL(S) NOW FINALLY PASS THE UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IN THE 112TH CONGRESS, WHEN REPUBLICANS HAVE A 49-VOTE ADVANTAGE BEGINNING JANUARY 3, 2011 ?

In the 12 Years the Republicans were in the Majority in the U.S. House from January 1995 to January 2007***, Federal Personhood bill(s) were filed EVERY YEAR.

*** In the 104th Congress (1995-1996), and the 105th Congress (1997-1998), and the 106th Congress (1999-2000), and the 107th Congress (2001-2002), and the 108th Congress (2003-2004), and the 109th Congress (2005-2006), the Republicans were in the Majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.

HOWEVER, NOT ONLY DID THE REPEATED REPUBLICAN MAJORITIES IN THE U.S. HOUSE IN THE 104TH, 105TH, 106TH, 107TH, 108TH and 109TH U.S. CONGRESSES NEVER ACTUALLY PASS ANY FEDERAL PERSONHOOD LEGISLATION WHILE IN POWER FOR 12 YEARS, THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NEVER EVEN ONE HEARING ON PERSONHOOD LEGISLATION BEFORE THE FULL U.S. HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE IN THOSE 12 YEARS, AND THERE WAS APPARENTY NOT EVEN ONE HOUSE JUDICIARY SUBCOMMITTEE PUBLIC HEARING IN THOSE 12 YEARS OF REPUBLICAN MAJORITY RULE !!!

NO PUBLIC HEARING FOR RIGHT TO LIFE ACT, EVEN AFTER 12 STRAIGHT YEARS OF REPUBLICAN CONTROL !!!
12 STRAIGHT YEARS (1995-2006), AND STILL NO PUBLIC HEARING IN THE US HOUSE FOR THE RIGHT TO LIFE ACT BILL TO END ABORTION IN AMERICA – DESPITE 12 STRAIGHT YEARS OF REPUBLICAN MAJORITIES

Romanist Phyllis Schlafly’s Eagle Forum Opposes Colorado Personhood Amendment

Dame of Malta, Phyllis Schlafly of the Roman Catholic Establishment is yet another prominent Roman Catholic voice against recognizing now, the God-given, unalienable right to life of every human being as a “Person” beginning at fertilization, in State statutory or constitutional law. Multiple States over the years have been pursuing this principled pro-life effort to END “abortion” in America.

The three major enemies of State-level personhood amendments to END “abortion” in America are:

1) ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS [ appointed by the Pope ]
2) NATIONAL RIGHT TO LIFE, and
3) AMERICANS UNITED FOR LIFE.

Perhaps the # 4 major enemy of State-level personhood amendments to END “abortion” in America is:

4) EAGLE FORUM
