Life

This unalienable right is listed first. God has endowed each of us with a precious life and desires that we use it wisely. Even the tenacious will to live is an amazing testament to the profound value of life.

Respect for life is vital to the survival of a nation. Once people arbitrarily choose who deserves life and who doesn’t, then those in power no longer see individual people who, each and every one, has a right to life. They deem that only “productive” members of society deserve life because they contribute to the nation’s economy.

After fifty million abortions, infanticide, assisted suicide, and court decisions to allow such helpless individuals as Teri Schiavo to be left to die, next in line are the elderly, the terminally ill, the severely retarded. Proponents of nationalized health care are already discussing the “value” of those lives balanced with the cost of prolonged treatment.

This is exactly what happened in Nazi Germany.

“Never abandon life. There is a way out of everything except death.” --Sir Winston Churchill
