"Inconvenient Life"

Lately, we have heard quite a bit of talk about rights from both political parties. I like my rights and I am a big advocate of the “Bill of Rights”, our first 10 amendments to the Constitution. I like the words “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” a lot. I notice LIFE is listed first in that famous phrase. We are told that is endowed by our Creator, you know, God. What does that mean? My best interpretation is that it doesn’t belong to any man, woman or political philosophy to determine who gives out those rights; it also says government can’t take those rights away.

Whether you like it or not, those beliefs are rooted in the Christian Bible; those Founding Fathers used that book as their guide, not Marxism, not socialism and not Islam. Now I know I’ve just offended someone, but truth is truth and cannot be denied. Our Founding Fathers recognized Christian standards as the most honorable and just in the world and they integrated them into our Constitution.

As I said earlier, LIFE is listed first, as life is our most precious gift from God, and the taking of life is something that shouldn’t be taken lightly. Let’s see what society believes about who merits death. Obviously, if a person is attacked and their life is in imminent danger, they have the right to defend themselves, even to the point of killing their attacker. In time of war, soldiers have the right to use deadly force in time of battle and they are the “armed forces” who act in defense of the United States of America. The State has the right to execute those convicted of murder and heinous crimes as proper punishment for their criminal deeds.

Our government and our people should hold human life in great regard, and look sternly at any policy or institution which advocates the taking of human life.

We have been hearing quite a bit about “women’s rights” during the present election season, and I agree that women all deserve equal rights under the Constitution. I also believe we all should take responsibility for our actions. Men who beat their wives should go to jail (or worse). Men that father children should be responsible for the upbringing of those children, along with the women who birthed them. Those innocent children are of no fault and should suffer no consequences from the “inconveniences” of their births.

As we move away from Christian principles and toward a “Libertine Society”, we have allowed the lives of the innocent to fall by the wayside. We look at unborn children as “non-people”, an inconvenience which we can remove without conscience. Women who advocate this practice say they should have control of their own body. I know women are raped and molested and sometimes pregnancy results, but the life within them is life given by God, not man. Other instances of killing the unborn are because of what trouble they will be in the routine of the lives of those who chose to have relations without proper “protection”; that was your time to make a “choice”. At the moment those cells started to develop into a human being, small and helpless, they deserve the same rights as every human being that has been granted life by God; your time of “choice” is over; you are now a mother. Our Constitution put LIFE first; we have NO RIGHT to take innocent life, no matter how INCONVENIENT!
