The Right To Life Comes First


"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

"Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness" is a well-known phrase from the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.  Are not governments created for the purpose of protecting  the "unalienable rights" of all human beings?
 "The right to life" is not some "folksy" platitude.  It is a concept that directed the creation of the Constitution of this great nation.  The bill of rights talks about our "posterity," which means future generations.  Pro-abortionists refer to future generations as if they are not trying to destroy them.  "Future generations" refer to human beings that are to be born.  In a very real sense, they are still considered future generations while they are still young.  Abortionists prohibit anyone from being born, let alone be young.  Pro-abortion environmentalists often refer to the importance of protecting the environment for the "rights" of future generations.  To me this smacks of  "phony righteousness" and hypocrisy.  What future generations?  There won't be any if they are being eliminated because they are "inconveniencing" someone.  If unborn future generations don't even have the right to be born, how can they enjoy any other rights?  Chronologically, logically and realistically, The right to life comes before any other right.
