Protecting life is the premier issue facing America today. The Democrat Party and even some in the Republican Party have sold out to the forces of pro-death, the gang who believes that women have the right to kill their babies for any reason. This is wrong. Protecting and preserving life transcends being a political issue, it is primarily a moral issue. Any nation that permits the sacrifice of their children to the god of lust and selfishness is indeed a nation that has become immoral.
There are valiant efforts taking place in two states, Colorado and South Dakota, to do something to reverse disrespect for the sanctity of life which is rampant in America today. In these two states pro-life defenders are seeking to get the life issue on the ballot to allow the people a voice for the babies, where their elected leaders and appointed judges have miserably failed to uphold the U.S. Constitution and the decency of this once great nation.
IN COLORADO
Thursday, David Bereit, who is the National Campaign Director of 40 Days for Life, sent me the following update which offers some very encouraging news regarding the effort to protect the unborn from the bloody hands of the abortionist. Mr. Bereit writes that in the state of Colorado "momentum continues to build around a major petition drive for a ballot initiative that will add 14 simple words to the state constitution: "The term 'Person' or 'Persons' shall include any human from the time of fertilization." These words will recognize the personhood of children in the womb, effectively protecting them from abortion.” This is indeed good news.
IN SOUTH DAKOTA
Progress is also being made in South Dakota where Mr. Bereit reported that a petition drive began last Fall in South Dakota by some pro-life leaders to place a pro-life initiative on the ballot this fall that would ban nearly all abortions in the state. Bereit wrote, "The Washington Post is now reporting that South Dakotans turned in THREE TIMES the required number of signatures, assuring that the measure will be on the ballot for voters to decide."
