Why can’t America seem to get "created equal," right? It’s our national creed. It’s our DNA. Yet, here we are, heading into America’s 250th year, and “We the People” still does not include all the people.

I just want to clarify the language so there is no ambiguity. Every human is a person; every person is a human. All of us begin life at fertilization. Every compromise on personhood has always resulted in discrimination, destruction and death.

Patrick Henry once famously opined in his famous 1775 speech: “Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” Yet, this fiery eloquence was belied by Henry’s own denial of liberty to those he enslaved. This is what a soul compromised looks like.

In a letter responding to a Quaker abolitionist challenging him on his hypocrisy, Henry answered in a pathetic yet painfully honest way: “Would anyone believe that I am master of slaves by my own purchase? I am drawn along by the general inconvenience of living without them. I will not — I cannot justify it, however culpable my conduct…I believe a time will come when an opportunity will be afforded to abolish this lamentable evil.”

Isn’t this exactly where our culture is? We know killing our own children,........
