Vox Populi - Part Five

Vox Populi – a multi-part series of web essays exploring the malfeasance of liberal ideology

The Sanctity of 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.

One of the most disturbing tenets of liberal ideology is that one life can be held above another. The impetus for writing this series of essays was the final presidential debate of 2008. When I heard the democratic candidate speak about not over-turning the Supreme Court decision Roe vs. Wade, I was infuriated. How can we ever support someone that does not respect the sanctity of life? God has give us life, even the unborn, who are we to take it away. How arrogant can we be to think that we can end a life because we don’t want it? To think that somehow we are on the same level as God determining who lives and who dies.

Anyone that cannot respect the right to live of an unborn child does not respect the lives of those whom he or she serves. All men, women and children are created equal and have the right to Life. There is almost no circumstance in which a baby should be aborted. Children have the right to live and grow.

We can justify our reasons and claim that it is better that way, but it is never the right thing to do. But this issue is bigger than just the unborn children that die. It is about the principles that govern the lives of those that would support a person’s right to choose. They do not value life. They do not appreciate the sacred gift that God has given us to live. How can we support those people to govern us and to regard our lives as sacred?
