If you reduce the human right to life to a mere positive right, granted by human law, then its relationship to God and the natural law disappears.

Then the whole reproductive process becomes subject to the “will of the people.” Therefore marriage becomes optional. Fornication and concubinage become acceptable. Unnatural sex acts become legitimate. Divorce and remarriage is approved. Bestiality and pedophilia could also be justified.

Artificial birth control becomes moral, since acts conducive to reproduction are subject to the will of the people, namely the onanistic couple. Abortion, even up to the very day of giving birth, becomes a right of the woman.

By taking God out of the “chain” of reproduction and rearing of children, the right to life of human beings becomes subject to the will of the people, that is, subject to human laws which can change with time as man “evolves.”

So murder could be justified, even mass murder. We are horrified by the thought of a Hitler, a Stalin, or a Mao slaughtering millions of people. But if these peo-ples’ right to live is subject to the State and not to God, then why not? So just as farmers might kill millions of chickens because of bird flu, or cremate millions of cattle because of hoof and mouth disease, so the reduction of the human right to life to merely human law logically results in mass murder.

Consequently, our United States has become a mass-murdering nation based on the logic which I have just described, namely the removal of God from the chain of the reproductive process, starting with matrimony, then the proper use of sex, then the gestation of the child, birth, upbringing, and finally maturity. If you remove God from even one step, one link, from this chain, then, like a house of cards, the entire thing falls apart. What we are left is that our lives are subject to the “will of the people.”

Ask the millions who died in the twentieth century genocides how they feel about this. Ask the sixty mil-lion+ babies who have been murdered in their mothers’ wombs since 1973.

The God-given natural chain, therefore, is this: matrimony—sexual intercourse—conception—development in the womb—birth—upbringing in a stable home—maturity—natural death. All these things are under the direct control of God. Remove God from one of them, and it all falls apart.

The godless chain is this: fornication, concubinage, sodomitic marriage—artificial birth control—abortion—killing the baby after birth—divorce and remarriage—murder—suicide—euthanasia—school shootings—mass murder—genocide.

Mr. Trump thinks that abortions should be permitted up to fifteen weeks. To permit abortion even at one minute after conception, however, is to destroy all of the logic of forbidding it at any time. Who are politicians to make these decisions of when you can abort your baby? The leftists know this logic. It plays right into their blood-stained hands.
