Personhood FL - PersonhoodFL is a Christian grassroots non-partisan organization

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:

“We, the peo­ple of the State of Florida, being grate­ful to Almighty God for our con­sti­tu­tional lib­erty, in order to secure its ben­e­fits.…. do ordain and estab­lish this con­sti­tu­tion ……All nat­ural per­sons, female and male alike, are equal before the law and have inalien­able rights, among which are the right to enjoy and defend 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!
