The Fatal Flaw of the Democrat Party's abortion position is that any unborn human being may be killed under law with a mother's consent. Therefore, it logically follows:
The Democrat Party supports the killing of innocent human beings.
This killing of unborn human beings is deceptively called "Pro-Choice". Every innocent human being should be concerned!!
The term human being is used over other life terms because it is the lowest common denominator of terms and all human beings can identify with it. Human being also denotes an individual.
This Fatal Flaw cannot be objectively defended. The Fatal Flaw is the foundation of the Democrat Party's pro-abortion argument and it is a weak foundation that must be aggressively and persistently exposed and attacked in order to destroy it.
Destroying this foundation will allow it to be replaced with the true foundation of society identified in our Declaration of Independence: Every human being is created equal and has an unalienable right to life. The common sense principle of a civilized society that follows this true foundational value is: Every human being should be protected in law. This is the primary role of government. No political party should violate this principle. More on Fatal Flaw...
Long-term Goals
Educate the public on the Democrat Party's extreme position on abortion which is far left of the U.S. public's position and that of the world's.
Expose and aggressively attack the Fatal Flaw in order to destroy the abortion foundation of the Democrat Party.
Debunk the myth that we do not know when life begins.
Educate to help form the nation's conscience to accept the foundational value that is identified in our Declaration of Independence: Every human being is created equal and has an unalienable right to life.
The principle that follows this value is that: Every human being should be protected in law.Help establish a political climate such that no politician who supports legalized abortion can get elected.
Call to Action
Every pro-life individual has the opportunity to participate in this grassroots, social media campaign in order to destroy the Fatal Flaw. Success of this campaign is directly related to participation, spreading the messages, and participating in public debate by the pro-life grassroots community. The major media has demonstrated its subjective-bias against the pro-life argument, however,social media has demonstrated its effectiveness in communicating what the major media ignores.
This presidential election cycle presents an excellent opportunity to launch this grassroots campaign as people pay more attention to political issues during a presidential election.

When Life Begins - it really is simple
The Science
We still find a significant portion of society who accept that they do not know when life begins. Much confusion is created by the intellectually-dishonest and deceptive “pro-choice” argument that tries to establish that we do not know when life begins, or that it begins at some arbitrary, subjective point. However, the old language that this is not a human being but merely a clump of cells or a blob of tissue has been discredited, thanks, in part, to sonograms. A sonogram, as a window into the womb, show us visually the humanity of the unborn child. As importantly, it shows the mother and father their daughter or son.
In addition to sonograms, biology tells us that a new member of the human species comes into existence, or being, at fertilization. Since the unique DNA of this new member is of the homo sapiens species we know we have a new human being. It really is as simple as that. We know that the earth is not flat and we know when life begins.
Yet much confusion is furthered by some in the drug, abortion,and medical communities who attempt to subjectively redefine terms, such as, conception and pregnancy, etc. because it suits their self interests. Some want to define away and ignore the new human being during its first 5 to 10 days of existence when it is making the journey to its mother’s womb. Some want to define away this new human being until birth. They want to ignore established scientific facts. We can even expect that they will try to redefine the terms, human being and pro-life.
But the biological science of when life begins is clear. It is foolish to think that we do not know when life begins yet we can map the human genome. This science of human life is further defined by embryology, a branch of biology.
Prenatal videos and information...
Abortion
When society fully understands that abortion is the killing of an innocent unborn human being, society will protect this class of human beings. Educational videos on abortion...
Video - Watch their minds change on abortion...
Language
Language is our primary means of communicating. We can communicate such things as thoughts, ideas, facts and feelings. Language can be used to inform, persuade...and deceive. For effective, truthful communications objective definitions of words should be used where possible. Socrates said, “The beginning of wisdom is the definition of terms.” Wisdom could be defined as the proper application of knowledge with sound moral judgement. In essence, Socrates is saying that one must begin with objective definitions of terms to arrive at wisdom. Objective definitions will use factual, unbiased, non-subjective definitions, void of personal feelings and will attempt to get to the essence or nature of what is being defined and to further understanding.
Yet much of the abortion battle is waged with deceptive language used by abortion proponents since they cannot win the battle with sound, objective, reasoned debate. It is as if George Orwell was specifically referring to abortion proponents when he said "Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind." So one must be alert to the lies, deception, evasiveness, distractions, manipulations and verbal gymnastics of abortion proponents that will accompany their debate. Other tactics that they will use is to conduct ad hominem attacks on pro-life individuals and verbal sleight-of-hand in order to draw attention away from the inherent weaknesses in their arguments.
Within the context of this campaign, when debating we need to keep the focus on the inherent, inescapable, foundational weakness of the Fatal Flaw which is the support of killing of innocent human beings. We can expect that they will aggressively avoid discussing this.
Terms to use
The term human being is preferred to use in this campaign. Terms such as life, fetus, baby are not the lowest common denominator of terms. We are all human beings. Human being also denotes an individual. Every human being can more readily identify with the risk to all human beings associated with the Fatal Flaw. It is easy to perceive that the Fatal Flaw is arbitrary and that if one class of innocent human beings is at risk of being killed then we are all at risk of being killed.
Terms to avoid
The pro-life community sometimes uses terms that weaken its argument.
Term: I believe that life begins at conception.
Response: It is not a matter of belief of when life begins, rather, it is scientific, biological fact. Saying I believe gives the impression that what is being stated is merely opinion. With much of the population still confused on when life begins this statement only furthers that confusion. We will gain tremendous ground when the population knows when life begins.Term: My faith informs me that life begins at conception.
Response: The response to this phrase is the same response as the first response above.Term: Potential human being (when referring to the unborn)
Response: This is factually inaccurate. The unborn is a human being.Term: Potential mother or father (when referring to a pregnant couple)
Response: This is factually inaccurate. A pregnant couple are already mother and father. They are with child.Term: Fertilized egg
Response: This is an antiquated term. Once an egg is fertilized it is no longer an egg, it is an embryo with 46 chromosomes and not 23 chromosomes as in an egg. It should be replaced with the more precise term, embryo, that brings better clarity to what is being defined,i.e., a human being. People who favor abortion are more inclined to use the term, fertilized egg, and avoid the term, embryo.
RightsThe U.S. is a very blessed nation. One can validly argue that our core strength comes from the values, principles and rights expressed in our Declaration of Independence which serves as the foundation for our U.S. Constitution. It is the guiding document that forms the political conscience of our nation. Some are rejecting this as the moral and religious foundation because it does accommodate the desire of their will. Moral relativism and radical progressive secularism do not conform with, and thereby reject, our moral and religious foundational values which are of Judaeo-Christian heritage and natural law.
Declaration of Independence
"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.""That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their powers from the consent of
the governed." Our U.S. Constitution is what secures these rights.Our values are under siege by many forces. Our founding fathers, in essence, warned about these types of threats. John Adams stated "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
Threats to our democracy also come from within our weak human nature as demonstrated by the following quote:
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." Edmund Burke
One of the dominant threats that our democracy faces today is from the Fatal Flaw of the Democrat Party, whereby the Democrat Party supports the killing of innocent human beings.
The chart below captures this threat and structural foundation weakness from the Fatal Flaw within the context of the above ideas. The Fatal Flaw is represented as cracked cinder blocks. The true foundation is represented in solid marble.
Morality
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John Adams
Foundational argument
The Fatal Flaw of the Democrat Party has attacked the very moral and political foundation of our government. This foundation is clearly established in our Declaration of Independence: "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..." Unless the moral and religious people of these United States fight to restore the right to life of all human beings we will find a continued erosion of the structures which rest upon this foundation.
This moral and religious people must also resist the major errors of our time including moral relativism which rejects "self-evident' truths and "unalienable rights", and radical progressive secularism which foolishly attempts to remove God and natural law ("laws of nature and nature's God") from the public square . This progressive secularism also attempts to inhibit our right to religious liberty and free speech. These errors will continue to make gains in society if this moral and religious people succumb to the temptations in the quotes which follow.
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." Edmund Burke
"The most deadly poison of our time is indifference." St. Maximilian Kolbe
This moral and religious people are obliged to engage in living and promoting and instilling the moral values, derived from their faith in the public square. This does not mean that dogma and doctrine are to be enshrined in law.
Appeal to Christians
Even though we live in a pluralistic society, where the religious views of all are to be respected in law, Christians and people of faith who share Christian moral values, have a particularly compelling obligation to engage in promoting and instilling moral values in society because Christianity represents the majority of the U.S. population. Faithful Christians can bring sound moral reasoning and critical thinking to the public square and they can do so with an eternal perspective lost among much of the public. And all of these activities need to be surrounded and conducted in prayer.
Efforts to silence Christians by accusing them of imposing their values on society are but an intimidation method used by those critical of Christians or Christian values to impose their own values. Christians are wrongly encouraged to adopt a worldly tolerance of other moral values to the detriment of their own values. This is a false tolerance that is actually but a surrender of their own values. Such a surrender ignores the Great Commission of Christ to "make disciples of all nations" (Mt 28:19). Christians are also obliged by Christ to be the shining light on the hill; yet many times we seem content on hiding our light under the bushel basket (refer to Mt 5:14-16). We must not become subservient to the desire for worldly esteem but rather we must put on the armor of Christ and fight for Christian moral values with truth and love. To do otherwise is to contribute to the moral decay we find in much of society.
This moral decay is most putrid and vile where human beings are killed for the wrongly perceived benefit of others. Might replaces right. This killing places a very dark stain on our nation's soul. Since the right to life of human beings is a fundamental moral value, this killing places a special claim on our consciences to right this wrong. We cannot legitimately, as faithful Christians, leave this battle to others. We must engage to heal this moral sickness and darkness. And we must engage with humility, recognizing the we are merely instruments in God's hands and that God will produce the results.
Yet God prefers to conduct his work through human beings. Remember that he sent sent his son into the world, taking on a second nature, the nature of a human being, to conduct his most important work. God gives us the power to choose whether or not to make ourselves available to him. When more individuals make themselves available, more progress will be made in the battle for life. Yes, Christ will be victorious in the end but how many lives are killed in the interim is dependent upon how many Christians get involved in the battle today. We can make a difference. In fact, we are of such numbers that if all faithful Christians united in the battle to defend the lives of all human beings the Fatal Flaw would soon be destroyed and the true foundation of society would be re-established.
Christians must be counter-cultural, as was Christ, in this battle since the current culture supports the killing of human beings. This means that we will not be popular. Recognizing that the vast majority of abortions occur among non-married individuals this clearly points to one of the root causes of abortion - misuse of our human sexuality. It is certainly counter-cultural to oppose the so-called sexual revolution which is truly a revolt, rather than a revolution. It is a revolt against the proper use of our human sexuality. We have lost our sense of the true value of our sexuality leading to a devastating loss of our own sense of self-worth. The sexual revolution rejects both natural law and God's plan for our sexuality. Christians must restore to prominence the proper use of human sexuality primarily by living lives that witness to our true, authentic, natural human sexuality.
Christians must also engage to restore the concept of unconditional love, Christ upon the cross. Unconditional love is a sacrificial love, a total giving of oneself for the benefit of others. The Fatal Flaw rejects this unconditional love. Establishing unconditional love more broadly within society will lead to both ending abortion and to building upon the respect for the life of every human being.
Christians are called to show unconditional, non-condemning, love to every human being. Certainly this includes a special consideration for the women and families who have been deceived into choosing abortion. We need to recognize that many pressures to choose abortion that are imposed, especially upon the mothers involved. We also need to show unconditional love to the abortionists; those working or volunteering in the abortion industry; and all those supporting legalized abortion in any manner, including politicians. All supporters of abortion have been deceived in some way. All are worthy of our prayers while at the same time we must fight earnestly and persistently to end legal abortion by exposing its moral depravity.
Establishing Christian moral values will not be easy. In our democratic republic, moral values are established in a competitive process where the will of the people governs. Timidity in engaging in this competitive process, failure to engage, or failure to recognize this dynamic are but paths sure to result in values being established which will not include Christian values; Christian values which are essential to the very survival of our democracy. Again, Christian values are not to be confused with Christian dogma and doctrine. Thus, Christians must engage according to their state in life...or suffer the consequences.
The compelling obligation to vote for pro-life candidates
Voting is a moral act. So how are Christians and people of other faiths to engage in this battle for societal values within the political sphere? Some must serve in the executive, legislative and judicial branches in order to promote and defend Christian values. All must participate by voting, and by voting for politicians who will support their Christian values, noting that the most fundamental value is the right to life of all human beings.
Politicians who do not support the right to life of all human beings have demonstrated poor judgment in matters most important and a lack of wisdom, i.e., the application of knowledge with sound moral judgement. They have shown to be of such flawed moral character as to not be trusted to work for the common good and they do not deserve our vote. Lest this seem harsh, it is hard to imagine that any politician could be elected today who favored supporting legal slavery, another evil which holds that not all human beings are created equal. Support of legal abortion must rise to the same level of political rejection as legalized slavery.
We must not be fooled by politicians who claim to be personally opposed to abortion but who support a woman's "right to choose". We must boil down this rhetoric to the essence of what it means - such a politician supports laws that allow the killing of human beings. Perhaps an analogy using another heinous evil would more clearly shed light on how morally corrupt this position is. It is akin to a politician being personally opposed to rape but who would not want to prevent others from legally choosing rape.
Pro-abortion politicians will attempt to create a moral equivalency of other issue with abortion. Such moral equivalency is not possible. The right to life of human beings is the most fundamental right of every human being, thereby affording it the highest priority in any rights debate. To assign priorities in any other fashion is flawed moral reasoning. Hence, this should be the dominant issue, but not only issue, to be considered when voting. This bears repeating - the legal right to life of every human being should be the dominant issue considered when voting.
People of faith are called to recognize that the Democrat Party does not love the unborn child unconditionally. They must recognize that government cannot justly take away the unalienable, God-given, natural law, right to life of human beings. Politicians who show support for abortion are morally unfit to serve.
Momentum is on the side of life. All politicians and the Democrat Party will oppose abortion when it becomes impossible for pro-abortion politicians to get elected. Political survival will force this political opposition to abortion even if it is not accompanied by a conversion of heart. Unelectability would be a first step to protecting human beings, with conversion of heart to a position of respecting and protecting all human beings being the desired final outcome.
"There can be no keener revelation of a nation's soul than the way it treats its children."
Nelson Mandela
"The greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion, which is war against the child. The mother doesn't learn to love, but kills to solve her problems. Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want." St. Teresa of Calcutta
