Petition

---

Whereas:   In Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court declared it could not resolve "the difficult question of when life begins" – and on the basis of this unresolved question, declared a new "right to abortion" based on a "right of privacy"; and

Whereas:   The 14th Amendment to the Constitution states: "nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property, without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law"; and

Whereas:   In Roe, the Supreme Court admitted: "If . . . personhood [for the unborn] is established, the appellant’s case, of course, collapses, for the fetus’ right to life is then guaranteed specifically by the [Fourteenth] Amendment..." (Roe v. Wade [410 US 113 at 156-7]); and

Whereas:   Science is clear that human life begins at conception when a new human being is formed; and

Whereas:   The American people oppose abortion-on-demand and want innocent human life to be protected especially when it is most defenseless; and

Whereas:   It belongs to Congress to resolve the question the Supreme Court said IT cannot resolve; and

Whereas:   A Life at Conception Act, by declaring that unborn children are persons legally entitled to constitutional protection, will overturn Roe v. Wade and ultimately rescue millions of unborn children from dying by abortion-on-demand;

Therefore: I urge you to cosponsor and cast every vote for a Life at Conception Act, and to do everything necessary to win ultimate passage in the United States Congress.
