Abortion Rights Theology a Threat to Life
Boulder, CO -- The America First Party strongly denounces yesterday's
repulsive decision to block implementation of the congressionally
approved "Partial Birth Abortion Ban". In a cold-blooded declaration,
Judge Phyllis Hamilton placed a woman's right to murder her child as
the paramount consideration over the pain endured by the child. The
suffering by the young child is insignificant when compared to the
convenience of the mother -- who becomes the mother of a murdered baby.
National Chairman Dan Charles stated: "The central tenet of abortion
rights theology is the notion that some human beings are more valuable
than others. This revolting political theology led to the enslavement
and lynching of African-Americans, the shoveling of Jews into Nazi
ovens, and the murder of millions throughout the communist world. In
holding the Partial Birth Abortion Ban unconstitutional, Judge Hamilton
has declared that some types of people are disposable for the
convenience or emotional satisfaction of others. Thanks to her ruling,
one of the most repugnant ideas of the 20th century has re-entered the
human lexicon."
In a statement released in November 2002, the party questioned
Republican commitment to protecting innocent life. In that statement,
Missouri National Committeewoman Nancy Blankenship stated, "The partial
birth abortion ban does not go far enough. Congress must overturn Roe
vs. Wade and include in the legislation provisions that remove it from
[judicial] review...This [type of] language has been included in
legislation since shortly after the Constitution was implemented. In
fact, Tom Daschle removed forestry management provisions from the
Supreme Court review but only as it relates to South Dakota. What is
true for trees in his home state should be true for human beings,
wherever they are conceived."
Had congressional Republicans heeded this prophetic statement, a single
rogue judge in San Francisco could not stop the Partial Birth Abortion
Ban.
National Press Secretary Romelle Winters asserted, "The failure of
Congress to protect the lives of our nation's innocent and helpless has
inevitably led to this vile decision by Judge Hamilton. So-called
'pro-life' members of Congress could have prevented this predictable
outcome, but they chose not to save innocent lives. Instead, they
supported a defective bill to pacify their base and keep the issue
alive for this election. We contend that many who voted for this bill
were more interested in re-election and fundraising than in saving
babies' lives."
The America First Party encourages all citizens who respect human life
to tell their representatives to remedy this abhorrent assault on
decency and civilization. We also remind the American people that
President Bush has not stopped the murder of even one baby.
