Fourth of July 2018

Today we celebrate the independence of this great nation!  I often recall the preamble to the Declaration of Independence that in-part reads, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”  We can’t help but notice America’s founders listed life as the first inalienable right – or undeniable right – endowed by God.  Without life we can’t enjoy any other right.  Our religious freedoms, right to vote, assemble and express ourselves are dependent upon our right to life.  Abortion denies that basic right, so join me in working to end it.  From all of us at Life Issues, Happy Fourth of July!
