Michigan Citizens for Life
2006 Michigan Ballot Initiative Brief

  1. 1. "Thou shalt not kill" - God, Ten Commandments

     

  2. 2. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men ... are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life ... " - United States Declaration of Independence

     

  3. 3. "No person shall ... be deprived of life ... without due process of law" - United States Constitution, Amendment V; Bill of Rights, Article the Seventh

     

  4. 4. "The appellee and certain amici argue that the fetus is a 'person' ... . If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant's (Roe) case, of course collapses, for the fetus' right to life would then specifically be guaranteed ... . The Constitution does not define 'person' ... ." - Justice Harry A Blackmun, Section IX-A, "Opinion of the Court", Roe v. Wade, United States Supreme Court (Full text reported at: http://www.tourolaw.edu/patch/Roe/)

     

  5. 5. "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States, or to the people" - United States Constitution, Amendment X; Bill of Rights, Article the Twelth

     

  6. 6. The Constitution of the United States does not delegate to the United States nor prohibit to the States the right to define "person".

     

  7. 7. If a State and the people of a State define "person" as "existing from the moment of conception", then according to Amendment V of the United States Constitution in the words of the US Supreme Court's "Opinion of the Court" in Roe v. Wade, that "person's" "right to life would then specifically be guaranteed"

     

  8. 8. If approved by voters, Michigan Citizens for Life's initiative petition would amend the State Constitution to add the following language: "The right to due process, whereby no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, guaranteed in Article 1 Section 17, and the right to equal protection of the law, guaranteed in Article 1, Section 2, vest at conception. A 'person' for the purposes of the Constitution and laws of the State of Michigan, exists from the moment of conception."
