Dear Mrs. Brown:
I am writing to suggest an alternative anniversary to be the focus of our
annual educational efforts. I had suggested this years ago to a local Right
to Life organization and it went nowhere but I am newly motivated by having
had to cancel my trip to Washington last month due to the weather.
My almanac lists July 28th as the anniversary of the proclamation of the
Fourteenth Amendment. It falls in the summer when the weather will usually
be very nice and school will be out to permit substantial participation by
young people. This would provide an outstanding educational opportunity in
several respects. It would enable the pro-life message to be firmly tied to
the civil rights movement which is based in the Fourteenth Amendment and
demonstrate the emptiness of Roe v. Wade which relied on denying that
prenatal children were persons by means of subterfuge. It would further
illustrate that Roe v. Wade was simply an unjustified act of exclusion no
different from using race as a criterion for such acts (inclusion being the
order of the day). The list could go on but I think you can see the
possibilities.
As another alternative during the school year I would suggest September
17th, the anniversary of the signing of the Constitution and now known as
Citizenship Day (permitting the possibility of clarifying the claims that
only born persons have rights because only born persons are citizens). The
enclosed article which I am submitting to Reader's Digest for possible
publication explains this anniversary's ties to the Emancipation Proclamation.
It could also be tied to Lincoln's open question in his second inaugural
address about whether the Civil War would 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 with the lash shall be paid by
another drawn with the sword...". Consider that in light of the abortion
holocaust!
I have provided some material on a computer disk to Steve Dunham which
includes a rather aggressive pro-life glossary (still being developed) and
some other articles. If he still has it you might find it interesting.
Please let me know if you would be interested in pursuing the ideas
outlined above.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Alfred Lemmo
