Myth #2: The "Civil Rights Movement" and Pro-Life advocates are natural allies.
This is a myth that is pushed by conservatives, both secular and religious, who hold that if Martin Luther King, Jr., were alive today, he would be allied with those who oppose abortion. Such opinions represent wishful thinking, as King was a strong supporter of Planned Parenthood, the foremost abortion advocacy group in this country and currently the largest provider of abortions in the United States. (Planned Parenthood even awarded King its highest honor, the Margaret Sanger Award, in 1966.)
Before I look at Sanger and her beliefs (part of the next myth), let me first say that the process that gave us the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Roe vs. Wade was the same: the centralization of law, removing much law from the purvey of the states – where the U.S. Constitution of 1787 had put such matters – and transferring that power to the central government. For all of the accusations of racism against them, people like Barry Goldwater (and even Strom Thurmond) did not oppose the Civil Rights Act out of racial motives (both men were considered to be moderate to liberal on social issues of race) but rather because it was an attempt to use the Constitution’s Commerce Clause in an unconstitutional manner. (I am not saying that all opponents of this act were racial liberals who opposed the act out of legal principle, but rather that it was possible to believe without racial animus that such policies constitutionally were up to the states, not the federal government. Furthermore, I believe that one can believe in freedom of association and not be a racist.)
In fact, much of the "civil rights" establishment then and now has been tied to the sexual politics of the left, and especially Planned Parenthood. While there are some pro-life people who are supportive of a strong federal role in "civil rights" matters, they are and always will be in a minority. The "civil rights" movement as we know it today is a child of the Progressivist movement, which had its genesis in the late 19th Century. This is ironic, of course, as the Jim Crow laws of the states and federal government that arose during that period were very much part of Progressivism and had their ultimate fulfillment in the presidency of Woodrow Wilson, perhaps the most virulent racist (other than Abraham Lincoln) ever to occupy the White House.
That these two movements would be wedded is not as strange as it might sound, since both sought to take powers from the states and give them to the central government. Both were part of the larger movements to destroy freedoms of association and freedoms of conscience, legal powers given to the state that are now so firmly entrenched that all organized religion is permanently imperiled in the United States.
Unfortunately, the modern Pro-Life movements also are seeking to create "federal solutions" to issues regarding abortion. From attempts to create the "partial-birth" abortion restrictions to establishment of a constitutional amendment banning abortions, pro-lifers have sought to use the very mechanisms that gave us Roe vs. Wade in the first place. In other words, they are attempting to implement legal tools that have destroyed individual freedom in the name of protecting freedom. Such actions, I believe, will only lead to more tyranny, even if they actually do help stem the tide of legal abortions (which I seriously doubt would actually be the case.)
The ones scared of change and the ability to take action within their own hands.A scandal-free Christian who advocates smaller government? A decent upstanding man free of the taint of politics?
Naturally, he's the one some people try to discredit...:kookoo:
This homosexual is more truthful in his description of Ron Paul than is Bob Enyart.Paul’s ideology is socially conservative/traditionalist/federalist. It’s not really Libertarian because it still supports government control over individual lives -- merely at the state, not federal, level. Paul is likable and principled, but his principles are biblical, not Libertarian or even Constitutionalist, because he ignores the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause.
If it is true that Bob Enyart supports the 14th Amendment as it is then Bob Enyart supports Abortion. It is the 14th Amendment that that supports the right for women to have an abortion. I don't think that Bob supports the 14th amendment as is.What does Bob Enyart have in common with homosexuals?
Both oppose Ron Paul.
Both support the 14th Amendment.

The 14th amendment does not allow for abortion, period. Especially in light of the preamble to the Constitution.Speak to me when you have something constructive to say or just shut-up

I wish that were so but it just isn't. By law, the courts have to rule in favor of the born (mother) over the rights of unborn life. It is not life that is the issue. It is the viability of the unborn life under constitutional law.The 14th amendment does not allow for abortion, period. Especially in light of the preamble to the Constitution.
No they don't. No person has the right, from God or the Constitution, to end an innocent life. Ever.I wish that were so but it just isn't.

I guess some people are incapable of thinking he might be actually pro-life, state by state.
Ron Paul is far more seriously pro-life than GW Bush.
Pro-life state by state is impossible. That's actually pro-choice.
What possible sense can this make, out of curiosity? A state of its own can't oppose abortion?
