An unborn child receives its life, being, and spirit from God; and only God may take that innocent life, lest it be an act of murder.

The Supreme Court of the United States has created from whole cloth the spurious Constitutional “right” to abortion, resulting in the murder of millions of unborn children and the usurpation of the laws of God and the several States.

Consequently, Southerners are compelled to denounce “universal health care reform” as the single most profound change in the relationship between the state and the individual citizen since the founding of the Republic. We further censure the Federal government for its massive debt acquisition which has put not only the health but also the liberty and property of future Southern generations in jeopardy.

The Federal Government has further proposed certain legislation to require persons in the medical profession to participate in the murder of unborn children, in violation of their consciences and the laws of God, and to require all the citizens of the several States to submit to unlawful taxation to encourage, promote, and fund said abortion.

The right of the People to petition the Government for redress of grievances is recognized by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Therefore, we the Delegates to the Second Southern National Congress, petition the Governments of the Fourteen Southern States to:

• Petition the Federal Government to immediately cease and desist its unlawful mandate of permissive abortion and funding of the murder of unborn children.

• Petition the Supreme Court to reverse Roe v. Wade and its progeny, recognizing that there is no Constitutional right to murder the unborn; and that only the several States have the power to regulate such matters, consonant with the laws of God.

• Petition the citizens of the several States to refuse to obey any Federal law and decrees which purport to require the participation in or funding of the murder of the unborn, recognizing the natural precedence of the laws of God over such arbitrary, capricious and tyrannical laws and decrees.
