This is the law The Supreme Court based its Roe v. Wade decision on poor scholarship. Urge the courts, legislators and congressmen to review A Treatise on Human Life. Urge them to restore the veracity of the Common Law, Constitutional government and the protection of human life.	Section II (Longer Sample) Introduction The foregoing discussion in Section I was devoted to the task of demonstrating what constitutes human life, a human being, and personhood. Thus, the human being within the uterus of the woman from the moment of fertilization until birth is a human life and person entitled to protection from being killed or injured. It is now worthwhile to identify the controlling principles under ancient and common law that confirm these truths, and the illicit nature of abortion, which constitutes the destruction of a human being. It is the common law that binds American jurisprudence in ruling on abortion issues. Ancient law is cited to demonstrate conclusively how longstanding and sweeping has been the recognition that abortion is a contemptible act, and to show how deviant and bizarre the recent rulings have been which, in only the past few years, have permitted this savage slaughter of human beings without penalty — even going so far as to call it a right! Ancient Laws And Customs In the historical and apocryphal works, dating back thousands of years B. C., we find that human life was considered to be sacred from the moment of conception, and that prevention of that life or its destruction in utero was continuously condemned in an unbroken chain of laws and precedents comprising the common law inherited by America. Even in pagan, uncivilized, and barbaric societies this sacredness of human life was recognized. In The Book of the Secrets of Enoch which was translated from manuscripts of the Pseudepigraphal Group reveals the following teaching: "And I swear to you, yea, yea, that there has been no man in his mother’s womb, but that already before, even to each one there is a place prepared for the repose of that soul, and a measure fixed how much it is intended that a man be tried in this world. Yea, children, deceive not yourselves, for there has been previously prepared a place for every soul of man." Comment: This teaching would preclude even the use of birth-preventive measures as interfering with the preordained plans of God for each person brought into existence by him. Pertinent Biblical citations which teach that the embryo is a human being from the earliest moment of conception, which thereby means that to kill that life in utero is murder: "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you." "My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately wrought in the depths of the earth." The Didache, or The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles, written in the time between 60 and 90 A. D., contains the following teaching: "You shall not kill the embryo by abortion and shall not cause the newborn to perish." The Epistle of Barnabas was probably written by St. Barnabas who was a companion and co-worker with St. Paul. Some have felt it was accomplished before the Epistle of St. Jude and those of St. John. The work had been cited by many ancient Fathers including Clemens, Alexandrinus, Origen, Eusebius, and Jerome. The pertinent passage in the Epistle pertaining to abortion is as follows: "Do not kill a fetus by abortion, or commit infanticide." Minucius Felix writing a work titled, Octavius, perhaps in 166 A. D. penned the following: "There are some women who, by drinking medical preparations, (by medicaments and drinks) extinguish the source of the future man in their very bowels, and thus commit a parricide before they bring forth." Tertullian writing between 198 and 204 A. D. spoke of the evil of abortion, to wit: "In our case, murder being once for all forbidden, we may not destroy even the foetus in the womb, while as yet the human being derives blood from other parts of the body for its sustenance. To hinder a birth is merely a speedier man-killing; nor does it matter whether you take away a life that is born, or destroy one that is coming to the birth. That is a man which is going to be one; you have the fruit already in its seed." Ancient and Early Common Law of England Introductory Comments: It is recognized that what is detailed in this section requires studious reflection. The recitation of facts are set forth in a purely documentary way to show with certainty that the common law outlawing abortion, under the common law of England, existed from the earliest times and continued uninterruptedly until 1967 when England changed (invalidly) her laws and the United States followed suit in 1973. The controlling principles are demonstrated by quoting actual documentation rather than simply citing references. The disclosure of the facts themselves establishes historical accuracy. It is important to recite, with scrupulous detail and precision, the holdings under the English common laws because America adopted those laws together with the precedents represented therein. Comments of the author are inserted to clarify, point out the significance of disclosures, or explain various relationships that exist.
