Rather, it encompasses a wide range of areas of service to the preborn and their mothers, not the least of which is prayer and direct action at the places where children are dying. But it is the principle of personhood that guides everything we do. In the political and legislative sphere of our work, we must direct our efforts towards the ultimate goal of a Paramount Human Life Amendment to the Constitution, based on this principle that every human being from the moment of conception-fertilization is a full human person whose right to life must be recognized and protected . We further believe that preborn persons are children of God. Our role as pro-lifers is to defend them, but our lives as well as theirs belong to God and any authority that we have comes from God only as far as we act as His servants.
Laws containing exceptions undermine all pro-life legisaltion and efforts.
If a preborn child is a person then all preborn children are persons, because their right to life is inherent in their very being. Following this logic it would never be just to protect the preborn, who are not persons, against the wishes of the mother, who is a person. Thus, the very principle of the pro-life position is destroyed. In expressly recognizing the right to kill preborn children in certain cases, laws with exceptions are a step in the opposite direction of achieving a Human Life Amendment which affirms the right to life and protection of all human beings. Stating that it is legal to kill certain children is further away from our goal than no legislation at all.
