The "Controversy": Is A 15-Week-Old Pre-Born Baby A Human Being??

Does this question actually have to be asked?

Isn't the baby developing in her mother's womb, human?  If not, then what is "it"?  (As my readers can see, I put the word it in quotation marks because those with enough grey matter still in tack, realize that once conception takes place, the "it" growing inside the mom's body is a human.) 

It is really silly to have to point this out, but over the last few days, the very title of my article has been asked to multiple congressmen and senators -- all very well-known -- every one of them, I might add, are of the Democratic persuasion... 

If you haven't already guessed, the answer from these anti-life, anti-God, anti-Constitution lunatics bordered on the insane.  Of course, none of these miscreants answered in the affirmative!!  None of them!!

Keep in mind, that these are our elected representatives that create the laws that we must live by and adhere to, that is, all just laws, not those laws that violate or contradict the Natural Law and/or the laws of God (the Ten Commandments and the Deposit of Faith).

How many actually know that one does not have to follow or obey an unjust law??

When the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was thrown in jail in Birmingham. Alabama, he wrote the now-famous: Letter From A Birmingham Jail, written in April, 1963, just seven months before President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas.  (On a personal note, I was to begin my junior year in high school in 1963, and in fact, I composed my term paper regarding Dr. King, later in that term...) One of the items that he covered in that letter was his discourse on just or unjust laws.  Dr. King, a Baptist, quoted not one, but two Catholic Saints, and their teachings that are still quoted throughout society, even though they were written hundreds of years ago, reaching back to the Fifth Century to Saint Augustine, and the Thirteenth Century to Saint Thomas Aquinas... 

The following are excerpts from that letter: "...I am in Birmingham because injustice is here. Just as the prophets of the eighth century B.C. left their villages and carried their “thus saith the Lord” far beyond the boundaries of their home towns, and just as the Apostle Paul left his village of Tarsus and carried the gospel of Jesus Christ to the far corners of the Greco Roman world, so am I compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my own home town. Like Paul, I must constantly respond to the Macedonian call for aid.

"...One may well ask: “How can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others?” The answer lies in the fact that there are two types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that “an unjust law is no law at all.”

"...Now, what is the difference between the two? How does one determine whether a law is just or unjust? A just law is a man made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. To put it in the terms of St. Thomas Aquinas: An unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law. Any law that uplifts human personality is just. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust."

There is much more to Dr. King's letter and can be found by doing a simple search on-line... It is a good and informative read that sheds light on his struggle to secure basic human rights for his people -- and, in reality, all Americans...

I must also harken back more than several years now, when Supreme Court nominee, Elena Kagan, was questioned before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and asked this simple question by one of the Senators: "What are your views on natural rights?"  Her response was chilling: "Senator, I have no views on natural rights."

With that answer, this female should have been immediately disqualified!  But now, she sits on the Supreme Court.  The damage she and other liberals can do to Natural Rights has already been proven, in spades!  

Is it any wonder that these Godless souls cannot answer whether or not a human, pre-born baby, is a human being??  

I could say that I'm flabbergasted, but I'm not... 

God help us and have mercy on us, please...

Pray for strength and honor!

Viva Cristo Rey!  Bl. Fr. Miguel Pro, and Fr. Emil Kapaun, pray for us..

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle...
