Pro-Abortion Group Nominates Personhood USA to Abortion “Hall of Shame”

Personhood USA

12/29/09

Washington , D.C.– The National Abortion Rights Action League has announced its nominees for a 2009 “Hall of Shame” – those who posed the greatest threat to abortion in America .


Among a list of noteworthy pro-life individuals - all politicians – the only pro-life organization nominated is Personhood USA, a grassroots Christian organization founded to establish personhood efforts across America .


“We at Personhood USA are honored to be considered one of the top four threats to abortion in America ,” commented Keith Mason, co-founder of Personhood USA. “Preborn babies are human beings with a God-given right to live. NARAL is a greedy, bloodthirsty organization, but they have pegged us correctly – Personhood USA is working to outlaw abortion, recognizing the Personhood rights of every child in America .”


NARAL’s describes Personhood USA as: “The group behind the anti-choice "personhood" measures, Personhood USA, exists solely to establish legal rights for fertilized eggs and trigger legal battles over abortion that could go all the way to the Supreme Court. Not only could the strategy outlaw abortion, but it could even threaten birth control, stem-cell research, and in-vitro fertilization. Working to outlaw abortion makes Personhood USA a strong candidate for Hall of Shame of the year.”


“What’s astonishing about this mention is that Personhood USA is only one year old,” added Cal Zastrow, co-founder of Personhood USA. “Yet in that one year, we’ve launched efforts in over 30 states, and we currently have petitions going in seven states. God is blessing our efforts to protect all babies, and these efforts are being multiplied by regular citizens who want to see an end to child killing in America .”


Personhood USA has noted NARAL’s careful wording concerning birth control, stem-cell research, and in-vitro fertilization.

“ Birth control, stem-cell research, and in-vitro fertilization would only be affected by Personhood when they kill a living human being,” continued Mason. “Birth control methods that do not kill an innocent human will not be affected. Adult stem cell research would not be affected. In-vitro fertilization’s current practice may be adjusted, but certainly not eradicated. The bottom line is that NARAL exists to promote the killing of innocent children. Even their use of the term ‘fertilized egg’ is a misnomer – scientifically, once a human egg is fertilized it is no longer an egg, but a new individual with his or her own DNA. It’s clear that to be on their ‘Hall of Shame’ list is not a bad thing.”

America's Party

Invite your friends!

We're not Republicans.

We're not Democrats.

We're Americans!

(We're AIP !)

Tom Hoefling

America's Independent Party is different. Unlike any other party in this country today, we are grounded solidly on America's founding principles, and won't compromise them.

From the "About AIP" page at AIPNews.com:

Our purpose? The same as the stated purpose of the U.S. Constitution: “To secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity.”

That’s why we’re pro-life and pro-liberty, and will always unswervingly support a strong and secure America.

Along with the signers of the Declaration of Independence, we believe in the self-evident truth that all men are created equal, that our unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness come from our Creator, and that just government can only exist by the consent of the governed.

Our goal is that 100% of our party affiliates, 100% of our party leaders, and 100% of our endorsed candidates are 100% moral conservative, personhood pro-life, peace through strength, constitutionalists - without compromise. And we're willing to do the hard work of contending for it, no matter how difficult the path might be.

We believe that this is the only way that God will bless our efforts, in the true sense.

At our nation's Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin's following wise words changed the course of that deliberation, and thereby bent human history in the direction of true liberty:

Mr President,

The small progress we have made after 4 or five weeks close attendance & continual reasonings with each other--our different sentiments on almost every question, several of the last producing as many noes as ays, is methinks a melancholy proof of the imperfection of the Human Understanding.

We indeed seem to feel our own want of political wisdom, since we have been running about in search of it. We have gone back to ancient history for models of Government, and examined the different forms of those Republics which having been formed with the seeds of their own dissolution now no longer exist. And we have viewed Modern States all round Europe, but find none of their Constitutions suitable to our circumstances.

In this situation of this Assembly, groping as it were in the dark to find political truth, and scarce able to distinguish it when presented to us, how has it happened, Sir, that we have not hitherto once thought of humbly applying to the Father of lights to illuminate our understandings?

In the beginning of the Contest with G. Britain, when we were sensible of danger we had daily prayer in this room for the divine protection. - Our prayers, Sir, were heard, & they were graciously answered.

All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of a superintending providence in our favor. To that kind providence we owe this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future national felicity.

And have we now forgotten that powerful friend? or do we imagine that we no longer need His assistance?

I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth - that God Governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid?

We have been assured, Sir, in the sacred writings, that "except the Lord build the House they labour in vain that build it." I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without His concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better, than the Builders of Babel:

We shall be divided by our little partial local interests; our projects will be confounded, and we ourselves shall become a reproach and bye word down to future ages.

And what is worse, mankind may hereafter from this unfortunate instance, despair of establishing Governments by Human wisdom and leave it to chance, war and conquest.

I therefore beg leave to move - that henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven, and its blessings on our deliberations, be held in this Assembly every morning before we proceed to business, and that one or more of the Clergy of this City be requested to officiate in that Service--

This is why AIP is always in prayer. Without God, we can do nothing. But with God, all things are possible. Even the saving of a great nation that is on a path of self-destruction, for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

Again, from our "About AIP" page:

Our nation’s political leaders have failed, because they have abandoned America’s Principles. A DEDICATED, ORGANIZED, UNITED conservative movement, made up of, and led by, average citizens, is the only hope that exists for saving America from the results of those failures.

We truly believe this. How about you?
