The Kansas Constitution says, “All men are possessed of equal and inalienable natural rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” This was a clear statement until the lawyers started gnawing at it, and in 2019 the Kansas Supreme Court justices decided that this right to life does not apply to a child – rather like the democrats decided the same clause in the U.S. Constitution didn’t apply to their slaves.
In the 1860’s Kansans volunteered in mass to stand against this discrimination on behalf of the African-American people. On August 2, 2022, the Kansas people no longer maintained the courage to protect the lives of the vulnerable and endangered in the State, and voted to allow the courts to continue their false interpretation of the Constitution which results in thousands of babies being sacrificed to the idol of self-appeasement each year.
The 2019 Kansas court wrote concerning the “All men are possessed of… rights, among which are life…” clause, “Is this declaration of rights more than an idealized aspiration? And, if so, do the substantive rights include a woman’s right to make decisions about her body, including the decision whether to continue her pregnancy? We answer these questions, ‘Yes.'” Such word-twisting and disconnected logic is not a Kansas value, despite its common over-use in Washington.
The fallacy of the court’s argument is obviously clear to anyone who thinks about it. The clause was never intended to argue that somebody’s right to the pursuit of happiness included a right to kill her own child, regardless of the age. The fact remains that every woman has a clear and inalienable natural right to keep men out of her bedroom. If she chooses to prostitute herself without payment, she has the right to use birth control. If she chooses to ignore the responsibilities associated with these two rights and then finds that a child has been created due to his and her negligence, murdering the child is nowhere protected as a natural right – nor did the authors of the Constitution ever intend it to be. It ceases to be “her body” alone when she chooses to share her reproductive organs with a man and allowing her womb to be shared by a developing child, naturally clinging to its mother for its life.
I am disappointed that 450,000 Kansas chose to continue the unhindered ability of women to hack their children to pieces simply because they don’t want the responsibility – or because their boyfriends force them so they personally won’t be liable for child support payments. Abortion should never be a protected birth control method.
For 150 years of Kansas Statehood, women who killed their own children and those who enabled them were prosecuted as murderers under our same Constitution. Do we owe them reparations and apologies because we missed the “fine print” that the Kansas judges only noticed in 2019? Should we allow for the murder of our elderly parents once they become a burden to our “life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness?” as well – especially if they are invalid and no longer productive? Do women have the right to ignore their children and force them to raise themselves once she decides that they are too much of a burden to her? It is still her body that is being affected, after all – probably causing her headaches and sleepless nights and all manner of anxiety.
When God gave the 10 Commandments to man, He made it clear – “Thou shalt not murder.” There is no “fine print” or “hidden meaning” in His Word. There is no exception for the pre-born. In fact, regarding parents who chose to kill their own young children, He said clearly, “And you shall not lie sexually with your neighbor’s wife and so make yourself unclean with her. You shall not give any of your children to sacrifice them to Molech, and so profane the name of your God: I am the Lord. You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.” (Leviticus 18:20-22). Further, condemning the people, He said, “They have built the high places of Baal to burn their sons in the fire as burnt offerings to Baal, which I did not command or decree, nor did it come into my mind— ” (Jeremiah 19:5).
It will only be by God’s mercy that the State of Kansas will be spared God’s judgment for the decision of her people rendered yesterday. If we want “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” in Kansas, we had best repent – and soon. “Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed. He will render to each one according to his works: to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury” (Romans 2:1-8).
