Comments on: March for LIFE, March for Ron Paul! http://brianwiese.com/blog/2008/01/22/march-for-life-march-for-ron-paul/ Jumping into the tech, politics, and personal blogging sphere Mon, 16 Jan 2012 00:28:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Brian http://brianwiese.com/blog/2008/01/22/march-for-life-march-for-ron-paul/#comment-5170 Brian Sat, 15 Mar 2008 13:51:27 +0000 http://brianwiese.net/blog/2008/01/22/march-for-life-march-for-ron-paul/#comment-5170 I just came across this article by a Baptist pastor claiming that Ron Paul is the only true "pro-life"[1] (anti-abortion) candidate, even more so than Baptist pastor Mike Huckabee! (Slightly humorous to me.) The writing is a bit harsh at times, especially for a pastor, but I can understand his resentment at all of the other establishment "pro-life" republicans who can "talk the talk" but never "walk the walk" quite like how Dr. Ron Paul does... here's a snip: /Ron Paul seems to be the only presidential candidate who understands that under Article.

 “PRO-LIFE” CANDIDATES SHOULD PUT UP OR SHUT UP

Ron Paul seems to be the only presidential candidate who understands that under Article. III. Section. 2., the Constitution gives to the Congress of the United States the power to hold rogue courts in check and to overturn outlandish rulings such as Roe v. Wade.

Accordingly, Ron Paul has introduced and reintroduced the Sanctity of Life Act (including in the current Congress). If passed, this Bill would recognize the personhood of all unborn babies by declaring that “human life shall be deemed to exist from conception.” The Bill also recognizes the authority of each State to protect the lives of unborn children. In addition, this Bill would remove abortion from the jurisdiction of the Court, thereby nullifying the Roe v. Wade decision. The Bill would also deny funding for abortion providers. In plain language, the Bill would overturn Roe v. Wade and end abortion-on-demand.

Is it not more than interesting that “pro-life” President George W. Bush, along with the “pro-life” Republican Party leadership of both houses of Congress, refused–and continues to refuse–to support Ron Paul’s Sanctity of Life Act? In addition, not a single “pro-life” presidential candidate outside of Ron Paul has even bothered to mention the Sanctity of Life Act, much less aggressively call for its implementation with a promise that, if elected President, he would sign it into law. Not Huckabee; not McCain; not Thompson; not Romney; none of them!

The choice of life. Pray for mothers to have strength and pray for our political leaders.
