WHEREAS: Our most fundamental, universal rights as a human beings should not be subject to public
opinion and public referenda, which are easily manipulated by scare tactics, demagoguery, biased media,
and large sums of money, and
WHEREAS: Our human rights are not granted to us by the whims of our fellow citizens; they are given
to us by God, and guaranteed to us by the U.S. Constitution; and
WHEREAS: Chief among our God-given rights is the Right to Life, to ensure no one can be deprived of
it, protecting all humans regardless of race, sex, gender, age (including gestational age), or ANY other status; and
WHEREAS: Ballot initiatives which seek to put the Right to Life, a fundamental human right, on the
ballot are morally repugnant at their core, and seek to legalize even the most gruesome later-term
abortions, further revealing their disregard for the value of human rights; and
THEREFORE: I join with Students for Life Action in Declining to Sign any such petition and will urge
my friends and family to do the same, because preborn human rights are human rights that should not be
subject to the whims of the ballot box.
