to the editor from this week's Chronicle
I am writing to thank all of you who voted for me during the primary election and to say I will work hard to earn the support of those of you who didn’t vote for me in the general election. Having been born and raised in Clearwater County, I understand the needs of rural Idaho. I will do everything I can to ensure rural Idaho receives the services it deserves. I also want to compliment Michelle Evans and Justine Coleman for their decent campaigns. Class matters. John Bradbury Redneck Review! No. 369 - 5/22/22 Part 2 of our current case against abortion! Last week it was noted that the Supreme Court was thought to be on the brink of overturning Roe vs Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court case that declared our government had the authority to require every state to provide abortion services, and that such services could not be prohibited. Contrary to much of the hue and cry about the possibility that Roe/Wade might be over turned, such a decision would not stop the availability of abortions! All it would mean is that the procedure could be allowed or prohibited by each state. Anyone can easily find which states would continue to welcome abortions, and which would stop them completely. It was also noted that an average of 3595 abortions/day have occurred legally since 1973, because of Roe vs. Wade. With simple math, it computes out to around 150/hour! So it means 150 every hour of every day of every year, (150 x 24 hours x 365 days x 48 years = 63,972,000!), a brutal removal from a womb of a potential citizen takes place, using in late term abortions especially, methods known to be very painful to the unborn child! It is hard to believe that caring individuals would tolerate these procedures, if they really knew what was happening and could actually witness one or more such procedures! Factually, the "Right to abort" IS NOT IN THE CONSTITUTION! PERIOD! Saying it does not cut the mustard! It simply is NOT THERE! Further more, medically, the question of whether living, breathing future citizens are snuffed out by abortions is SETTLED! Case after case can be shown of citizens alive and healthy today who survived abortion attempts! Many there are who were born very early and survived, who could have been legally aborted under many of the abortion laws found in this country since 1973! In addition, Amendment 10 says clearly that "The powers not delegated to the U.S. by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are RESERVED to the States respectively, or to the PEOPLE." And what about the 14th Amendment? "No state shall deprive any person of LIFE, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny equal protection of laws." Tell me, when does a babe in the womb become a citizen? Only after childbirth? What about all those born early? Research tells us that several babies have survived leaving the womb shortly after 21 weeks! The record is held by Curtis, son of Michelle Butler, born July 5, 2020, after only 21 weeks one day, or 148 days in the womb, making him 132 days premature! (Google) Does that mean that a child aborted any time during the remaining 15 weeks of a normal stay in the womb must wait until birth to become a citizen! Preposterous! You will not find me arguing that crazy claim! What does the Bible say about this matter? "Thou shalt not kill!" The 5th commandment! Can a person smugly argue that an abortion does not kill a future citizen? And is it not true that the Founders who gave us the Declaration and the Constitution insisted on the need for religion in the states making up the new REPUBLIC they were creating? And reading the 1st Amendment makes it clear about the national government! "Congress shall make NO LAW respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." So does that not mean that Jake Wren
