THE PRESERVATION OF NEW LIFE BILL OF 2007

  

Whereas, all men and women are created (by conception) in the likeness and image of God and each Individual has the God-given right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and abortion robs that Individual of the opportunity to achieve these purposes, and

Whereas, abortion is performed on a living, developing human infant causing that human infant to die (heartbeat begins at approximately six weeks), and

Whereas, abortion is a selfish and cowardly attack on innocent life at a time when the baby is most vulnerable.  Those who perform an abortion, and some of those who receive an abortion, do so for their own greedy or selfish reasons, often to avoid the responsibility and accountability to care for the life of the infant they helped create! 

Whereas, a fetus is an independent, living being dependant only upon its mother for nourishment and protection.  This independent, living being will continue to progress to full development and birth with no human interference, and will continue to grow and develop AFTER birth by the same dependencies, i.e., nourishment and protection.  There is no difference in the process BEFORE birth vs. AFTER birth, and

Whereas, the performance of abortion is a disruption of an otherwise self-completing process.  Abortion is a violent and murderous act against a human being at its most innocent stage of development.  This act curtails the normal creation of a living being, which, otherwise would grow and develop to be born as a living, breathing human child, and

Whereas, 34 States now allow criminal charges to be brought on behalf of unborn victims of violence, i.e. children in the womb who have been injured by the violent acts of others (see http://www.nrlc.org/Unborn_Victims/Statehomicidelaws092302.html ), and 

Whereas, the United States Congress has passed a Bill, The Unborn Victims of Violence Act, (Laci and Conner's Law ), and

Whereas, abortion is the ultimate, willful act of violence against an innocent child in the womb which causes death to said child, and   

Whereas, it is immoral and unlawful to willfully cause the death of another human being (Bible - Ten Commandments and other scriptures), and

Whereas, our nation was founded as a Christian nation, the majority of Americans are Christians, and many Moslems, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews and followers of other religions, some of whom are American citizens, also believe in limiting or eliminating the practice of abortion, and

Whereas, the right to life is protected in the Declaration of Independence as the "unalienable right to life"

(“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, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness”), and

Whereas, the 4th Amendment of the United States Constitution declares the right "to be secure in their persons" as a protection against such acts of violence, and

Whereas, the United States Congress has passed an act to ban the performance of Partial Birth Abortion which has been signed into law, and

Whereas, all 50 states of the United States of America have passed laws regulating abortion (See http://hometown.aol.com/abtrbng/stablw.htm ),and the Supreme Court in Roe vs. Wade and in other decisions is at odds with the aforementioned laws, and

Whereas, the former "Jane Roe," Norma McCorvey, of Roe vs. Wade, seeks to overturn that decision.     (See http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=33113 ),

Therefore, be it resolved that:  Congress exercising its authority pursuant to Article III, Section 2, Paragraph 2 of the United States Constitution hereby limits the appellate Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court in all cases pertaining to abortion.   Passage of this Bill and its being signed into law nullify all previous Supreme Court decisions pertaining to abortion.
