'When first constrained to separate from the English Church, the Puritans had joined themselves together by a solemn covenant, as the Lord's free people, "to walk together in all His ways made known or to be made known to them." Here was the true spirit of reform, the vital principle of Protestantism. It was with this purpose that the Pilgrims departed from Holland to find a home in the New World... John Robinson, their pastor, who was providentially prevented from accompanying them, [then] said: I charge you before God and His blessed angels to follow me no farther than I have followed Christ, If God should reveal anything to you by any other instrument of His, be as ready to receive it as ever you were to receive any truth of my ministry; for I am very confident the Lord hath more truth yet to shine forth out of His holy word." Were we as willing in this our day of brightest midday sunlight to do as much!
But let's get something else straight before we go/proceed any further... There's no - self-evident, self-existent, everlasting - 'constitutional right' in the United States of America to an abortion, rather the U S Supreme Court, back in 1972 - in the now much-celebrated/pilloried 'Roe vs Wade' decision - created a constitutionally-supported 'right' to the same... ...something no less a jurist than former, long-serving Ruth Bader Ginsberg herself evidently regarded as very poor law - as such - indeed (however much she in heart agreed with and applauded the particular outcome that eventuated thereby)...
