It is a moral issue because it confronts fundamental issues of right and wrong, of life and death. It is a social issue because it goes to the most deeply held of human relationships and our respect for the worth of our fellow human beings. It is a political issue because, every year, dozens of bills pertaining to abortion are introduced into the Congress and state legislatures, and public officials must vote aye or nay on those bills. Furthermore, abortion is a fundamental issue that affects so many other current problems. Roe has led activist federal judges to presume to overturn state laws and referenda designed to protect babies, mothers and parents from the most egregious demands of the abortion lobby, including partial birth abortions.
Abortion is a perennial issue in the appropriations process.
The legislative process is manipulated every year to secure the spending of taxpayers' money for thousands of abortions. The Republican Party must continue to uphold the principle that every human being, born and unborn, young and old, healthy and disabled, has a fundamental, individual right to life. Like Abraham Lincoln, we rely on the Declaration of Independence for our authority to assert that every individual human being has a Creator-endowed right to life, and that it is the duty of government to protect that right.
