Laci and Connor Peterson and Schizophrenic Law

 
Rusty Thomas and Steve Mashburn are right on, as they reveal how God is exposing the abortion industry for the murderous villain it really is.

The double homicide of Lacy Peterson and her son Connor (who was eight months old in his mother's womb at the time of his death) has brought the abortion industry to its knees. It has no where to run and no where to hide. The truth is out! The humanity of a child in the womb has now reached its logical legal consequence. A child in the womb of his mother is a human being! Could any revelation be worse news for an industry dependent upon deceit, lies, cover-up, and murder! - Flip 

Laci and Connor Peterson and Schizophrenic Law

"We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all our political institutions upon the capability of mankind for self-government; upon the capacity of each and every one of us to government ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God." -James Madison, Fourth President of the United States and Chief Architect of the Constitution

Scott Peterson has recently been booked on two counts of murder in the deaths of his wife and son, Laci and Connor Peterson. The double homicide charge has thrown the pro-abortion crowd into a state of panic. You see Connor was an unborn child in the womb of Laci at the time of his unfortunate demise. Pro-abortion groups, like the Morris County NOW organization are up in arms and voicing opposition to the double murder charge. Case in point is this quote by their President, Mavra Stark. Stark stated, "If this is murder, well, then any time a late-term fetus is aborted, they could call it murder."

This particular murder case is troubling to those who support abortion on demand on two counts. It first reveals what the abortion industry and its advocates would prefer to remain hidden, the humanity of the baby in the womb. This is especially grievous to them when the media, the law of the land, and the state that enforces the law acknowledges this truth. It calls into question what has been purposely censored for over thirty years since the infamous Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court Decision. If the child in the womb is a human being, a person, like you and me, then the law of the land should protect its life, just like it does for us all.

This concept was even acknowledged by Harry Blackman, the Supreme Court Justice, who penned the tragic ruling in favor of abortion. He wrote, "The appellee and certain amici argue that the fetus is a "person" within the language and meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. In support of this, they outline at length and in detail the well-known facts of fetal development. If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant's case, of course, collapses, for the fetus' right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the Amendment." Based upon this premise, the abortion industry has a vested interest to remove the notion of personhood as far from the unborn as possible. If they fail, as they surely must, then the whole basis of Roe vs. Wade collapses about them like a house of cards.

History records in bloody detail what happens when certain people groups are denied personhood. Laws that once protected human life were removed by judicial fiat. As a result, the vulnerable and weak became a prey to injustice bent on their extinction or enslavement. This was true with Nazi Germany who denied the personhood of Jews in Hitler's death camps. It is also true when it comes to American slavery that denied our black brothers and sisters were fully human in the Dred Scott Supreme Court Decision. Thankfully, we all now condemn that godless, unjust, ruthless, and merciless legacy. America stands united with one voice that declares, "They were wrong back then!" The problem is, can America say that we are wrong today? Prayerfully, the Scott Peterson case will be used to convict us all with indisputable evidence that abortion is a grave sin against God and a brutal crime against humanity.

The second problem the abortion industry and America must contend with in the Scott Peterson case is the glaring lack of a singular standard as the basis of law. It exposes the inconsistency, the hypocrisy, and the schizophrenia that has made a mockery to the concepts of law, justice, and civil government. Law in America has become a Rubik's Cube that we twist and turn to further our political agendas. It is no longer a fixed standard that secures justice for all.

It was Blackstone, the inspiration behind the Declaration of Independence's statement, "The law of nature and of nature's God," that historically gave America her source for law. Blackstone stated, "Upon these two foundations, the law of nature (the eternal laws of good and evil) and the law of revelation (found only in the Scriptures), depend all human laws. That is to say, no human laws should be allowed to contradict these." Roe vs. Wade and its evil fruit of decriminalized murder and its assault against the very basis of law bears witness to what happens when we allow human law to contradict God's law. It always ends in disaster. We simply cannot continue to violate the eternal laws of right and wrong and thrive as a people.

Martin Luther King Jr. gave this apologetic on law by stating, "...There are two types of law, just and unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One not only has a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that, 'an unjust law is no law at all.' Now, what is the difference between the two? How does one determine whether a law is just or unjust? A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. To put it in the terms of St. Thomas Aquinas, 'An unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law.'"

According to these reputable men, the Holy Bible, and history, the law of God is the basis for all human law. It is binding upon all people, at all times, and in every nation. It is the law of God that reveals true reality in this universe and contains the righteous, holy character of the God of the Bible. The law of God defines for us the way the world should work and how man is to fit within its context to be blessed. The law of God ultimately reveals for man His desperate for a Savior, Jesus Christ, as mankind rejects and violates God's commandments routinely.

America must relearn that neutrality is a myth and that someone is indeed legislating morality. The question is, whose premise of right and wrong, whose ideas of good and evil, and whose philosophy of morality under girds the laws of the land? As God alone is the only lawgiver, the choice before man is either to uphold or to break God's law. If we continue to break God's law, it will eventually break us. This is the hard lesson of history and is the present day battle that is raging for the souls of men, the lives of our children, and the future of our nation. America we must repent, end Roe vs. Wade, return to the God of our Fathers, and the Biblical principles that made us a great and mighty nation. For the truth is, apart from the law of God as the basis for all human law, there is no way for America to experience "liberty and justice for all."

IN KING JESUS' SERVICE,
