Roe 2.0 House Resolution Introduced by Pro-Life Congressman

U.S Congressman Doug Lamborn introduced U.S. HR464, the “Recognize Life Resolution” on June 6th. According to Constitutional Attorney Bradley Pierce, this resolution is “Roe 2.0” as it specifically states abortion must remain uncriminalized for pregnant women. Abolitionists Rising described this resolution as the “most dangerous Pro-Life initiative yet“. Please read both threads below in their entirety!

According to Representative Doug Lamborn, who introduced the bill, and Live Action/Lila Rose’s social media accounts, Live Action is in full support of Roe 2.0 claiming this is the “New North Star” for the Pro-Life movement. Pro-Life site LifeNews.com, when reporting on the HR464, stated “Additionally, it acknowledges that mothers often are second victims of the profit-driven abortion industry and abortionists alone should be punished for killing unborn babies. Protections for unborn babies β€œshall not be construed to permit the prosecution of any woman for the death of her unborn child,” the bill states.””

That is not equal protection, folks. Kansas abolitionist Stu McArthur stated in a tweet, “@LiveAction This Resolution is incoherent and wicked. It lays out an excellent argument for the pre-born child as a human person worthy of equal protection of the law – and then Resolves to deny that person protection from being murdered by their own mother. Every supporter of this resolution needs to repent. Deuteronomy 1:17″ and I could not agree more.
