ABORTION AND VACCINATIONS ARE FEDERAL ISSUES
Here’s an article making the constitutional argument on abortion, and vaccine mandates, by Danny Bolden
There are many that claim the issues of abortion and vaccinations are concerns of the
individual states and not of the federal government.
Natural law and the two founding documents of the United States of America dispel this notion and affirm each individual’s security of life and liberty under God and under the authority of the United States federal government. While this federal government has acted contrary in its duty to protect life and liberty, it is nonetheless its responsibility, and ultimately its only responsibility.
The preamble to the United States of America’s Declaration of Independence cites natural law concerning life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It declares, “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.” This being established, any concession for abortion, which violently takes the life of a defenseless baby, is prohibited. Likewise, natural law encompasses the forcing of “vaccinations”. Since such enforcement affects life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, it is also unlawful.
The 4th Amendment to the Constitution states, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported
by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” If we are to be secure in our persons against unreasonable
searches and seizures, then certainly we should be secure against the afflicting and murderous hand of the abortionist, and against chemicals or anything else being forced into our persons.
There is no state or federal branch of government, or any other body or individual, that has any authority to breach the security that we as people possess in our persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures. This being confirmed by the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, it is therefore established that it is a crime for one to force a substance into another’s body without the latter’s consent, or to take an innocent life. Those committing such crimes should be held accountable,”

We have been trained in many ways to judge issues from within a controlled environment. Much like in the parable of the king’s new clothes, we know the truth, but often succumb to the pressure to ignore the obvious, in favor of popular “wisdom.”
In the parable, everyone knew that the king was naked, their eyes confirmed that they were gazing at private parts clothing was deigned to obscure from view. The fact is, in the parable, saying the truth was unpopular. It was not acceptable, though everyone knew it.
Today, if we are acquainted with the Declaration, and the US Constitution, as Danny pointed out, we know that the argument that abortion is a “woman’s choice for her own body” is a lie. The baby inside her is not a part of her body, it is a separate person, who’s body is inside of her womb. That Baby is as unique as the mother in which he, or she, resides, (for the moment.)
The termination of this life is no more the choice of the mother than is the life of a bank teller the choice of an armed robber.
The fact that the bank robber may not want the teller to leave the bank alive is no more, or less relevant than whether the mother wants the baby to leave her womb alive.
Both the bank teller, and the baby are separate creations of the Lord Almighty. God has given them both life, and charged every other living human with the responsibility to respect that life.
If the respect and protection of the God of creation were not enough, as Danny Bolden has pointed out, our Declaration of Independence establishes the sovereignty of every individual, and promises the protection of their life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.
You may have noticed that this list of rights begins with the right to life. Without this right, no other right is pertinent.
Abortion is not a matter of opinion, nor is it even a matter of law. Laws are made for the protection of these rights, and all laws are required to be submitted to our constitution.
Abortion is a constitutional matter. If a law is contrary to our constitution, it is unconstitutional, and thereby void of any constitutional authority. The only way we can come to the modern debate over abortion is to ignore the foundational truth that the fetus in the womb is a person, a unique person, of God’s creation.
Roe v Wade was not just a bad decision, it was unconstitutional. It violated the letter, and spirit of our foundational documents. The Dobbs Decision is likewise, although an improvement, unconstitutional. It fails to protect the life of a very small American.
The word fetus is the latin word meaning baby. A baby is a young human, a person, and our constitution requires that ALL laws are to contribute to the security of the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness of every person.
While I applaud the lives that will be saved by the Dobbs Decision, it too was not a constitutional decision. It is an improvement over Roe v Wade, but not a complete correction.
Thank you brother Dan for calling this to my attention, and I love your concise reckoning of this great truth. I am unfortunately a bit more verbose.
God bless you, Dave
