The Constitution is Given Life by the Declaration of Independence

June 2, 2023 by Martin Palmer Leave a Comment

Before he became vice-president, Mike Pense delivered a speech “The Presidency and the Constitution” at Hillsdale College, Hillsdale, Michigan, on September 22, 2010. In that speech he stated: “the Constitution is given life by the Declaration of Independence, the greatest political document ever written.”

The prolife community has from the beginning recognized the need to bring the Declaration into the Constitution, most especially its declaration of the unalienable rights of man:

“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…”

Constitutional law scholar, John W. Brabner-Smith, who founded the International School of Law in Washington, DC, (now the George Mason School of Law) taught his students that the Declaration of Independence was really a “Declaration of Dependence upon God”; and the charter of our nation. He taught that it was like the charter of a corporation – the founding document of a corporation that sets forth what is intended and what the corporation will be about.

He went on to explain to his students that the nation’s Constitution could be likened to the bylaws of a corporation, and that it is a sound principle of law that nothing in the bylaws can contradict the charter.

Without saying as much, the Dobbs decision recently brought the Constitution back along the road to conformity with the Declaration of Independence when it pronounced that the word ‘abortion’ is nowhere to be found in the Constitution and there is no such thing as a ‘constitutional right’ to abortion. Had the Dobbs court continued on down the road to its logical end, they would have found a constitutional right to life (the unalienable right, the primary right first mentioned and set forth in the Declaration of Independence) – the court should have found a constitutional right to life of preborn children.

To send the abomination of abortion back to the states was to desert our nation’s ongoing posterity to the political process, divide the nation further, and shirk their true duty as a court sworn to uphold the Constitution.

When Mike Pense speaks of the Declaration of Independence as giving life to the Constitution, he is saying much more eloquently what the prolife community has been saying: the need to bring the Declaration into the Constitution.

If the court would but do this it could not stray from its duty to find an “unalienable right to life” for all preborn children created in the Holy Image of God!

Yours very sincerely and respectfully,

R. Martin Palmer

P.S. Has any consideration been given to inviting Mike Pense to say a few words from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on June 24^th? As a lawyer he has proven to be a constitutional law expert in his own right.

It was because of Mike Pense’s respect for the Constitution and sworn oath to uphold it that he was not able to follow President Trump’s desire to seize unto himself alone the power to dispute the outcome of the election and send the results back to the states for recount.

He points out in his biography that only the Congress has such a right and toward that end in performing his ceremonial constitutional role of presiding over a joint session of the Congress to receive the Electoral College vote on January 6^th, he planned to recognize individual congressmen who wished to contest their own state’s election results and put it to the floor of the Congress for debate and decision what, if anything, was to be done. Many of the congressmen were beginning to rise and speak when the Capitol Hill riot broke out and that ended that.

Returning to Mike Pense’s eloquent observation that the Declaration of Independence breathed life into the Constitution, one is reminded of the biblical reference of God breathing life into Adam at which point Adam became a living soul. God is in the Declaration of Independence (in reference to God-given unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness). As such it is a God inspired document that must never be separated from the Constitution especially when the foundational questions of the equal humanity and personhood of all men and women as preborn children and their unalienable right to life are to be contemplated and ruled upon.

Students for Life Will Lead the Nation on June 24th

June 1, 2023 by Martin Palmer Leave a Comment

God is the same – yesterday, today and forever. He never changes. His ways never change. He is a loving God, but He is also a just God.

Our prophet, Abraham Lincoln, reminded the nation of this in his 2^nd inaugural address during the midst of the Civil War:

“Fondly do we hope–fervently do we pray–that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman’s two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn by the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said, “The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether…”
(Abraham Lincoln, 2^nd Inaugural Address)

The Civil War was fought over the equal humanity and personhood of the black man. The nation was rent apart. Over a century and a half later, our nation is again rent apart over the equal humanity and personhood of all men, red and yellow, black and white, as preborn children. Sixty million have died by the abortionist’s sword (scalpel). Our own Supreme Court condoned it just as the Jewish ‘Supreme Court’ long ago condoned the crucifixion of Christ (Mark 14:55).

“But what sword can avenge the

little ones 60 MILLION strong?

But the nuclear sword in the enemy hand

which threatens to destroy our land

And now we see our Father

as in the time of old

You punished Your people (the Israelites) whom

You loved by allowing their enemies bold

To overrun their camps; scale the walls

of their cities fine

And scattered their tribes over

the face of the earth for departing

in sin from Your vine…

So where does our salvation as a nation lie

as we’re soon to be caught in the strife?

Repent, repent the little ones

that we cruelly took their life

Fall to the ground and pray!
(Prayer for the Preborn Child)

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
(2 Chronicles 7:14)

We in the prolife movement understand this. We must pray for our nation and for those still doing abortions and for those states of the Union who are condoning the killing of preborn children. We must pray for the women who are suffering from post-abortion syndrome – victims themselves of the lie of abortion.

Scripture tells us in truth that “a child shall lead them” (Isaiah 11:6). This coming June 24^th, Students for Life shall lead the nation in a prayer of forgiveness for our nation’s eternal, mournful loss of 60 million little ones created in the Holy Image of God.

We must pray for our nation and for her grave sin of abortion. Only God’s forgiveness and light can overcome the darkness.

Yours very sincerely and respectfully,

R. Martin Palmer

P.S. The kids are out of school in June. Let’s bring the family to this great pro-life gathering on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial this June 24^th(a Saturday). Make it a family vacation at the same time for the kids to see the Smithsonian Museum and all of our beautiful nation’s capital.

The warm summer weather will be a pleasant change from the prolife rallies of the past in the cold month of January.

A Dream Come True

May 2, 2023 by Martin Palmer Leave a Comment

Dear friends and family of the preborn child,

The dream that we have all shared of a prolife event at the Lincoln Memorial has now become a reality.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 24^th, for “Celebrate Life Day” beginning at 10:30 am at the Lincoln Memorial.

The ‘Temple of Equality’ that our nation built to the Great Emancipator cries out for the emancipation of all men, red and yellow, black and white, as preborn children.

Martin Luther King delivered his “I have a Dream” speech from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. What is our dream for preborn children?

This wonderful clarion call for the equality of preborn children that will go forth from the Lincoln Memorial is scheduled to take place on the 1^st anniversary of the Dobbs decision. Prolife Partners Foundation, Students for Life, 40 Days for Life, Live Action, and other organizations are working together to achieve this dream. Get the word out to your people:

https://nationalcelebratelifeday.com/

Click on the picture for more information about the June 24th “Celebrate Life Day” event.

There will be a gala dinner at 7pm the same day. The theme is “The 14^th Amendment for All”.

The events will be live streamed to the nation with the prayerful hope of reaching the heart and soul of America.

Yours very sincerely and respectfully,

R. Martin Palmer

P.S. Martin Luther King wisely took his case for the equality of the black man above the head of the Supreme Court and above the head of Congress – he took it directly to the heart and the soul of the people imbued by God.

Blocking the First Human Pesticide

May 1, 2023 by Martin Palmer Leave a Comment

Dear Friends and Family of the Preborn Child,

Mifepristone is back in the news. Our own state of Maryland is stockpiling it on the heels of a Texas case in which a federal judge suspended FDA approval of the drug on April 7th. The Supreme Court then temporarily restored full access to the drug in order to review the court decision.

Mifepristone was invented in France, and Dr. Lejeune was very saddened that this had occurred and that the use of this drug had begun in his own country.

Dr. Lejeune called mifepristone “THE FIRST HUMAN PESTICIDE”. The dangers of it to the woman were known then and they are known now. The federal judge that entered up an injunction against its use in the United States did right by women and he assuredly did right by preborn children.

The Supreme Court stayed that judge’s order, so for now, women can still get and take these drugs, deadly to the preborn child and potentially deadly to themselves. If the Supreme Court does right it will uphold the judge’s order prohibiting the use of this drug.

Life begins, like everything else, at the beginning. Just as the states are waking up to the realities of preborn life (some states are outlawing abortion altogether – Governor De Santis recently signed a law outlawing abortion after 6 weeks), it is estimated that this devilish drug will kill more preborn children in coming years than mechanically induced abortions have over the past 5o years.

By upholding the prohibition against the use of mifepristone, the Supreme Court will have left in place their decision in Dobbs while protecting the health of women and their preborn children.

Yours very sincerely and respectfully,

R. Martin Palmer

P.S. Prayerfully, the Supreme Court will eventually finish what they started in Dobbs and carry the Declaration of Independence into the Constitution (which provides in pertinent part: “All men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights and that among these are the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”).

An analogy is often drawn between the Dred Scott case that preceded the Civil War which held that the black man was not person but property – the analogy is continued to compare Roe v. Wade with the Dred Scott case since Roe in 1973 held that all men, red and yellow, black and white, as preborn children, were not persons but property.

Secretary of State Hamilton Fish campaigned vigorously for Ulysses Grant in his 1872 successful bid for the presidency. He said that the Republicans had “destroyed slavery, root and branch, and carried the Declaration of Independence into the Constitution, where it is today”.

Therein we have the calling of the present Supreme Court – to carry the Declaration of Independence into the Constitution and find the constitutional right to life of all preborn children from the moment of conception who are created equally in the Holy Image of God. Only time and nutrients are necessary to build the human body. The blueprint is entirely there in the beginning, nothing is added.

Dr. Jerome Lejeune and the Shadow

April 27, 2023 by Martin Palmer Leave a Comment

Our prayer for world peace is in truth a prayer for the recognition of the Sanctity of Human Life – Born and Preborn.

Dr. Jerome Lejeune said it:

“If big Russian learns it is okay to kill little Russian, and big American learns it is okay to kill little American, then you are not going to tell big Russian it is not okay to kill big American, and you are not going to tell big American it is not okay to kill big Russian.”

He added that nuclear war would not be far away.

Dr. Lejeune was to the world of genetics as Einstein was to the world of physics.

Einstein had this to say about the need for world peace in 1947:

“In the shadow of the atomic bomb it has become apparent that all men are brothers. If we recognize this as truth and act upon this recognition, mankind may go forward to a higher plane of human development. If the angry passions of a nationalistic world engulf us further, we are doomed.”

Einstein is reported to have later commented that he did not know how World War III would be fought, but he knew how the fourth World War would be fought – with sticks and stones.

These two men, Albert Einstein and Jerome Lejeune, 40 years apart in their pronouncements, were showing us two sides of the coin of peace.

The first side of the coin is recognizing that all men are brothers.

The other side of the coin is recognizing that preborn children are equal brothers with all men.

It becomes apparent that to protect our own adult lives, we must first protect the lives of preborn children. Stopping the holocaust of preborn children is the first step to preventing the holocaust of a thermonuclear war.

It is said in truth that a child shall lead them. The younger generation is about to lead us, beginning with an assembly that Students for Life have planned at the Lincoln Memorial in June (the first anniversary of the Dobb’s decision).

Dr. Martin Luther King delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. What dream do Students for Life have for preborn children in our nation and throughout the world?

Yours very sincerely and respectfully,

R. Martin Palmer

P.S. We all remember President Trump’s words in his last State of the Union speech to Congress:

“Let us work together to build a culture that cherishes innocent life. And let us reaffirm a fundamental truth: all children – born and unborn – are made in the Holy Image of God.”

Curiously, President Trump recently said on the campaign trail for the 2024 election, “I am the only candidate who can prevent World War III”.

Both Impeachable and Neutralizing

March 1, 2023 by Martin Palmer Leave a Comment

Dear friends and family of the preborn child,

Will Rodgers said it in the 1930’s “We have the best Congress that money can buy.” If Will Rodgers were living today, what would he say about China and an American vice president under Obama?

While still vice president, Joe Biden, in concert with his son, Hunter, sold his vice presidency to China in exchange for favorable influence on China’s behalf and perhaps classified information as well. (Hunter rented for a period Joe Biden’s house in which classified documents were found in the garage.)

At the time, Joe Biden perhaps saw his political career drawing to a close at the conclusion of the Obama presidency. He thought he would never get caught. And then his son’s laptop mousetrapped both of them (the hard drive revealed that 10% of the money Hunter received went to the “big guy” – Joe).

Surely President Obama had no knowledge of his vice president and Hunter soliciting and accepting bribes from a foreign power – an impeachable offense under the U.S. Constitution.

Article 2, Section 4 of the Constitution provides:

“The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

Presumptively, Joe Biden’s wife did not know about it until the laptop sprung the mousetrap on father and son. Jill Biden must have been greatly upset that her husband, their son’s father, would use his own son like that.

Now his chickens have come home to roost and congressional hearings have been convened on what should properly be called the “Joe Biden (not Hunter Biden) Investigation”.

When asked about his son’s laptop, Biden replied that the American people were not interested in that. He said they were just interested in what he was doing for the country. We heard this once before with Bill Clinton.

When a Chinese Spy Balloon was allowed to traverse our country unchallenged the American people were interested not in what he can do for the country but rather what Joe Biden has DONE TO the country.

As this letter is dictated, he has pulled out all the stops to distract attention from the fact that China has the best American president money can buy.

Biden planned a secret trip to Kiev, the capital of the Ukraine, walked the streets and was on the ground for 4 hours. Yes, we stand with the Ukraine against the senseless killing, but it would have been far better if our president had made a surprise visit to a Crisis Pregnancy Center in our nation’s capital to stand against the senseless killing of preborn children.

Had Ronald Reagan been president, would Russia have invaded the Ukraine? Would China now be preparing to invade Taiwan?

Ronald Reagan worked for nuclear disarmament. He believed in peace through strength.

China has a supersonic missile that has circled the earth. Russia recently pulled out of the non-proliferation nuclear pact. Russia and China are working together against us in the Ukraine. China hung up on us when we called on the hotline about the Chinese Spy Balloon.

These are perilous times. The devil has loved death and dying from the beginning. He has delighted in the killing of 60 million preborn children in our nation alone. He would like nothing better than to stir up another world war. A war with nuclear weapons that no one would win.

We need the King of Heaven’s Armies on our side. We need to stand with God’s 6^th Commandment Thou Shalt Not Kill and call upon our state legislatures to outlaw the killing of preborn children at the same time we pray that we will be spared the chastisement of a world war.

Yours very sincerely and respectfully,

R. Martin Palmer
P.S. The president’s son accepted a check for several million from the wife of a higher up in Russia. As Putin began massing troops on the Ukrainian border, he knew that our own president had been neutralized to stand against that action. Look how greed and bribery has fractured world peace.

Grounds For Impeachment…

February 16, 2023 by Martin Palmer Leave a Comment

Dear family and friends of the preborn child,

Our nation has been raped of sensitive military information by a Chinese spy balloon.

Our president and vice-president did nothing until the week long rape of our national security was complete.

If ever there were grounds for impeachment of both a U.S. president and vice-president it is now!

In the presidential order of succession the speaker of the House of Representatives is next in line after the president and vice president. Providentially, the current speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, is in place to provide the nation with the responsible leadership we desperately need at this hour.

This Chinese spy balloon was the electronic Pearl Harbor of the information age. It left China on January 21^st and took 7 days to reach the U.S. off the coast of Alaska on January 28^th. NORAD (The North American Aerospace Defense Command), which is capable of responding to nuclear missiles from China or North Korea, can certainly track a slow moving Chinese spy balloon heading toward the U.S. over a 7 day period. We have F-22 fighter jets stationed in Alaska exactly like the one that shot the balloon down six miles off the coast of South Carolina.

Instead, the president and vice president chose to keep it a secret. Why?

We perhaps would have never known about it except for the fact that a private news service in Montana spotted it and notified the nation.

Mousetrapped, the president belatedly waited until Wednesday, February 1^st , to give permission to shoot it down but even then hamstrung his own order (to the delight of the Chinese who hadn’t yet finished their sweep of 5 sensitive military installations) with the proviso that it not be shot down until to do would not endanger any one on the ground. This presidential order was but public pablum that he knew would tie the hands of the Pentagon until the balloon reached the Atlantic Ocean.

This fully maneuverable spy balloon (the instrument package it carried at an altitude of 60,000 was the size of three large buses) hovered over and vacuumed up the secret military information and technology of 5 of our military installations sending it back to China in real time.

Millions of Americans watched with their own eyes as this balloon slowly maneuvered a predetermined path over our nation for one week. Everybody, democrat or republican, agreed upon one thing: shoot it down!!!

This sneak electronic attack is bigger than the sneak kamikaze attack on Pearl Harbor which cost several thousand American lives because it has compromised the future security of 320 million Americans in the Nuclear Age.

Biden often lets things slip when he goes off script. Recently he stated to a group of questioning reporters that he knew the head of China well having traveled 70,000 miles with him (presumptively referring to his time as vice president or before). The Biden family has admittedly received countless millions from the Chinese Communist Party.

In Exodus 23:8 we find the following”

“And you shall take no BRIBES for a Bribe blinds the discerning and perverts the words of the righteous.”
Exodus 23:8

If a president or vice president sells their soul to the devil agreeing with partial birth abortion, that is between them and God. But to sell out your nation, that is between them and the American people; a flagrant violation of their oath of office – and an impeachable offense.

This situation is grave!!!

Yours Very Sincerely and Respectfully,

R. Martin Palmer

P.S. The presidential oath of office is as follows:

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution provides as follows:

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

The vice presidential oath of office is as follows:

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”

The Supreme Court’s Missed Opportunity

November 22, 2022 by Martin Palmer Leave a Comment

Dear friends and family of the preborn child

“The wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. The Book of Job says that God uses man’s own brilliance to trap him; he stumbles over his own ‘wisdom’ and falls. The Book of Psalms says that the Lord knows how the human mind thinks. He knows how foolish and futile it is.”
(1 Cor. 3:19-20 Children’s Bible)

I had an interesting discussion today with Sister Margaret of Sisters of Life. The earthly wisdom of the U.S. Supreme Court failed us in 1973 (Roe). The current court in its earthly wisdom has tried to correct the fallacy of Roe, but again, earthly wisdom has failed us. They overturned Roe but left the fate of preborn children to the ‘wisdom’ of state legislatures. There is a greater wisdom – God-given wisdom enshrined in the charter of our nation (the Declaration of Independence):

“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…

These words are based upon God’s Natural Law written upon the heart of man by our Creator. The current court missed a golden opportunity in overturning Roe. They should have taken the next essential step as a constitutional court and found that under our nation’s charter (the Declaration of Independence) preborn children are endowed from conception with an unalienable right to life. Our Constitution presumes the truth stated in the Declaration of Independence just as any other by-laws presume the charter upon which they are based.

The court has caused the nation to stumble. A house divided against itself cannot stand.

There is talk in the Congress of passing a federal law guaranteeing a ‘right’ to abortion in all 5o states which the current president supports. With this in mind, the March for Life this January is scheduled to go to the U.S. Capitol instead of the usual destination of the Supreme Court.

The U.S. Capitol building is populated with warring political factions. We need to take the case for the equal humanity of the preborn child and her unalienable right to life over the head of the Congress. We need to take it to GOD HIMSELF from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, our nation’s Temple to Equality – in this case, the equality of preborn children and their equal right to life.

Dr. Martin Luther King did that. He chose to deliver his “I Have A Dream” speech, not from the steps of the U.S. Capitol but from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

We pray for wisdom from on high, much higher than the U.S. Capitol Dome.

Yours very sincerely and respectfully,

R. Martin Palmer
