Chuck Norris on FOCA

Chuck Norris has a nicely-written article at World Net Daily speaking out against the forthcoming FOCA legislation (HT
40DaysForLifeMadison). Closing graphs:

Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1809: "The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only legitimate object of good government." He was not, of course, writing about the America of today, with state-sanctioned and even subsidized abortion, and a movement to promote the killing of the elderly through euthanasia. But he could have been. And his belief in what should be "the first and only legitimate object of government" should still stand – and that includes for the president of the United States of America. But if he and his administration won't protect the rights of the living (even in the womb), then who will? A left-leaning Congress?

All of our elected officials should uphold that preeminent objective of government and strive to get us back to the view of humanity that emphasizes the immortal worth of every human being. Without that, we can never believe that all people (including those in the womb) are created equal, that they have inherent, unalienable rights, and that the protection of those rights is "the first and only legitimate object of good government."

And, if our politicians won't protect unborn human life, then we must. With Sanctity of Life Sunday on Jan. 18, and Obama being inaugurated on Jan. 20, the annual March for Life pro-life rally in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 22 (the very anniversary of Roe v. Wade), and FOCA looming on the legislative precipice of Congress and the White House, now is the time to march and take action again to defend the unborn. (That's why I devoted an entire chapter to "Reclaim the value of human life" in my new cultural manifesto, "Black Belt Patriotism," and why my wife, Gena, passionately entreated for the unborn in our most recent interview now online.)

Please, before FOCA flies onto the congressional floor in the upcoming days, sign the online petition to fight FOCA and then contact your representatives and senators to tell them how you expect them to vote on the bill. You can write them online by simply entering your zip code here.
