The 14th Amendment to the US Constitution says, …”nor shall any State deprive any person of life”… Senator Roger Wicker (R) MS has introduced a bill which defines ‘person’ as beginning at fertilization. There are 12 cosponsors. Senators Risch and Crapo are ‘not’ cosponsors. Any politician who is really interested in stopping the holocaust of preborn baby murder will sponsor this bill.
In the House, Paul Broun (R) GA, and Duncan Hunter (R) CA have introduced similar bills. Duncan Hunter’s bill, has many cosponsors, none from Idaho. Paul Broun’s bill, also has numerous cosponsors, and again, none from Idaho.
Duncan Hunter’s bill needs to be discarded because it says, “no prosecution of any woman for the death of her unborn child.” States have the right and duty to prosecute murder.
Ron Paul, (R) TX, has the best bill for stopping pre-born baby murder because his bill declares personhood at fertilization and also forbids the Federal courts from reviewing a Congressional law establishing legal personhood. No U.S. House candidate from Idaho has co-sponsored Ron Paul’s bill in any session.
Congressman Mike Simpson has not sponsored either of these bills. His website indicates he does not believe that personhood begins at fertilization.
None of Idaho’s Democrat Congressional candidates are interested in declaring personhood for the preborn. Most of them take campaign donations from preborn baby murder groups.
Senator Risch of Idaho will now have an opportunity to show how pro-life he really is. He is on record as saying ”abortion is a state issue” and “the woman should not be punished for having an abortion.” Mr Risch can cosponsor Senator Wicker’s bill if he wants to esablish personhood at fertilization. He has failed to cosponsor Senator Wickers bill as of November 2009 (s.346). Senator Crapo’s website indicated he does not believe in the legal personhood of the preborn baby. These men are not pro-life, they are pro-life politicians and there is a difference.
I am on record as saying that, “abortion is murder and everyone connected with the murder of pre-born babies should be charged with murder, including the person who drives the woman to the baby murder center.”
