“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
Preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America
I am horrified to read that yet another governor, Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, vetoed a bill that would’ve required that infants born after a botched abortion be given life-saving medical help – the same medical help any doctor has sworn to give to any other human being, except those who were able to decide for themselves that they didn’t want to be resuscitated.
Her argument was this:
“It’s simply not the state’s role to make such difficult medical decisions for patients,”
Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs
Please explain to me what is difficult about deciding to make sure that a human being is safe and alive?
This has nothing to do with medicine. It has everything to do with adults only wanting to “secure the Blessings of Liberty for Ourselves,” and not “our Posterity.”
Without “our Posterity,” our children, we will cease to exist as a nation. Without our children knowing that they are valuable just because they exist, they will continue their spiral into depression, drug addiction, gun violence, etc.
We need to be about securing the “Blessings of Liberty for … our Posterity” first. That will then bring us the “Blessings of Liberty for Ourselves”.
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
Matthew 16:25
