In 1983 President Reagan wrote an essay on "Human Life Review entitled," Abortion and the conscience of the nation. "This brief exchange of his later published pro-life philosophy has been in book form a year. It was about 95 pages long, then expanded by Surgeon General C. Everett Koop and British essayist Malcolm Muggeridge. Reagan's brief argued composition is probably one of the greater good, pro-life essays ever written. It is also significant because it was the first ever by a sitting president. That was President Reagan's attempt to create a nation, increasing the impact of abortion. In this little book that gives President Reagan a account how important the issue of abortion is the "conscience of the nation."
President Reagan's essay is only 26 pages in the book, but it is well structured. He believed that reducing the life of unborn reduces the value of all human life. He treats abortion "quality of life" arguments, and compared it with the Dred Scott slavery case. Compare Reagan, who went abortion arguments for slavery and the parallels between the Roe vs. Wade decision and the decision to Dred Scot divided America over a century earlier. Under Reagan, the quality of life argument is an argument for quality control of the population.
Reagan believed that the legalization of abortion is a very slippery slope. He says that killing unborn children, because they simply do not want or disadvantageous at a time. He says many are killed because they did not then have a "normal" lives as a result of the birth resulted. These children will be less value and therefore human rights are denied. He claims that this denial of human rights is done by activist judges, in light of the interpretation of the U.S. Constitution through the lens of their own pro-abortion beliefs.
Reagan says that to stop the arbitrary assessment of the unborn child. He notes that this philosophy also mean that the crime infanticide, and further illustrated this by pointing to the Indiana "Baby Doe." Baby Doe was starving to death because the child has Down syndrome. The core of Reagan-argument is that no nation can survive and thrive, when a group of people watching a child, and explain whether he or she has value as a human being. Reagan would say, saw "Abraham Lincoln that we are not free as a country when some men decide that others were likely to be free and should therefore be allowed slaves to survive. Similarly, we can not live as a free nation when some men decide that others are not going to live and should be abandoned to abortion or infanticide. My administration is dedicated to preserving America's a free country, and there is no cogent reason to preserve this freedom as an affirmation of the transcendent right to life of all people, right without which no other rights have any meaning. "
Pro-life movement will not be disappointed with Reagan's thesis, and will find that it contains very powerful and logical arguments against abortion.
