What is Personhood?
Do you agree that every person should have the right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness?
In Justice Blackmun’s statement of Roe v. Wade, he that said that if the fetus could ever be proved to be a person, the decision would collapse. Now with increased technology and ultra sound, we know that personhood begins at the moment of a baby’s biological development, the moment of conception. Over 50% of Americans are now pro-life.
Just as the wicked Dred Scot decision ruled that African Americans were non-persons and could be property, so Roe v. Wade has declared that the pre-born are non-persons and are considered property. As Dred Scott was never “overturned” but amended, that is what we are seeking to do: repent from the wicked decision of 9 people that brought death on our whole nation and amend our way, state by state, appealing to the people’s hearts to simply establish the personhood of the pre-born, the disabled and the elderly to protect their right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness by love and by law. Their right to life, their personhood is self-evident and is inalienable.
PersonhoodFL, is a people’s initiative to amend the Constitution of Florida, (just like the recently passed Marriage Amendment) and is refreshingly non-partisan and a-political. Our goal is to gather 676,811 petition signatures from registered Floridian voters by February 1, 2012 to enable Florida voters the right to vote in the General Election of 2012 for the Personhood Amendment so that all Floridians are protected from the moment of biological beginning to natural death.
You may go to our Endorsement page to see who is endorsing us (and this number is steadily growing!) We would love your endorsement! View our Resource page and read a letter to pastors from my pastor, Pastor Jeff Steffel of Grace Family Church, Port Saint Lucie. We also have posted a legal memo from Allied Defense Fund, a check list of what churches can do to help, and the petition in English and Spanish. Also available is an overview of the Personhood initiative and a bulletin insert for churches.
Our Florida state constitution requires something of us:
Quoting from The 1885 Florida Constitution:
“We, the people of the State of Florida, grateful to Almighty God for our constitutional liberty, in order to secure its blessings and to form a more perfect government, insuring domestic tranquility, maintaining public order, and guaranteeing equal civil and political rights to all, do ordain and establish this Constitution.
All men are equal before the law, and have certain inalienable rights, among which are those of enjoying and defending life.”
If you believe that every person should have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, join us today. Mail in your petition, add a few dollars to cover the costs and help others do the same!
