Life After Dobbs: A 3-Pronged Strategy | Day Of Action 2023

<p>Dobbs didn't go far enough. The 14th amendment reads:</p> <p>No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.</p> <p>Like the days of slavery we are now faced with slave states and free states – abortion havens and abortion free states.</p> <p>States had recognized pre-born children as "persons" at all stages of pregnancy.</p> <p>When the 14th Amendment was adopted, the states widely recognized pre-born children as "persons" at all stages of pregnancy.</p> <ul><li> <p>Nearly every state had codified criminal prohibitions by statute. At least 28 jurisdictions labeled abortion as "an offense against the person."</p> </li> <li> <p>In 23 states and 6 territories, laws referred to the preborn individual as a "child."</p> </li> <li> <p>The same Ohio legislature that ratified the 14th Amendment, called abortion at any stage "nothing less than child murder."</p> </li> </ul> <p>California, Vermont, and Michigan approved ballot measures enshrining abortion into their state constitutions, while those in the red states of Montana, Kansas, and Kentucky rejected measures that would have restricted abortion.</p> <p>A 3-Pronged Strategy</p> <p>Political - Defeat the constitutional amendments. If Ohio goes so goes the nation like Dominoes.</p> <p>Prophetic – we are truth-tellers, visionaries, warning the nation by taking it take to the streets, etc.</p> <p>Pragmatic – we need to prepare for the long run - win or lose.</p> <p>✔️ Instagram – <a href='https://instagram.com/mark.r.harrington'>https://instagram.com/mark.r.harrington</a> </p> <p>✔️ iTunes - <a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id827982678'>https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id827982678</a></p> <p>✔️ Spotify - <a href='https://open.spotify.com/show/62oyyCZG2LBk5OxR9z1c3t'>https://open.spotify.com/show/62oyy
