The Personhood USA Pledge

cognitivedissonance:

“I proclaim that every human being is created in the image and likeness of God, and is endowed by our Creator with the unalienable right to life.

I stand with President Ronald Reagan in supporting ‘the unalienable personhood of every American, from the moment of conception until natural death,’ and with the Republican Party platform in affirming that I ‘support a human life amendment to the Constitution, and endorse legislation to make clear that the 14th Amendment protections apply to unborn children.’

I believe that in order to properly protect the right to life of the vulnerable among us, every human being at every stage of development must be recognized as a person possessing the right to life in federal and state laws without exception and without compromise. I recognize that in cases where a mother’s life is at risk, every effort should be made to save the baby’s life as well; leaving the death of an innocent child as an unintended tragedy rather than an intentional killing.

I oppose assisted suicide, euthanasia, embryonic stem cell research, and procedures that intentionally destroy developing human beings.

I pledge to the American people that I will defend all innocent human life. Abortion and the intentional killing of an innocent human being are always wrong and should be prohibited.

If elected President, I will work to advance state and federal laws and amendments that recognize the unalienable right to life of all human beings as persons at every stage of development, and to the best of my knowledge, I will only appoint federal judges and relevant officials who will uphold and enforce state and federal laws recognizing that all human beings at every stage of development are persons with the unalienable right to life.”

So who’s signed it? 3 of 4 current presidential candidates. I’ll give you a hint…

If you’re concerned about assisted suicide, why don’t you highlight the struggle of the Chinese workers at Foxconn (manufacturer for all of those Apple products Americans love so much) who are forced to work in the most cruel conditions, who see suicide as their only way out of the situation they are stuck in.

If you’re concerned about the development of the human being, why don’t you turn your attention to the children who are forced to be soldiers around the world. Forced to be trained, fight, and blow themselves up. Ask yourself what conditions they live in, what creates this situation? Or the children forced to work underage to support their families. Or the millions starving to death. Etc.

If you support a pledge in which one “will defend all innocent human life.” Why don’t you speak out against war, and of the countless human rights abuses going on around the globe?

I really don’t get it… If people are so concerned about “abuses to humanity,” why can’t they see the struggle of humanity outside of their own border? It’s senseless propaganda. Completely useless and worthless garbage.
