Tier 2: Personhood Whenever
Tier 2 leaders advocate, incompatibly, for both personhood and for regulating child killing. Also, Tier 2 advocates do not oppose all anti-abortion violence.
Incompatibility: Why are personhood and child-killing regulations incompatible? Knowing, for example, that Blacks and Jews are persons with a God-given right to life makes it clear that it would have been immoral to advocate a 24-hour waiting period before lynching a black man, and it would be unthinkable to advocate for informed consent before gassing Jewish children. Tier 2 activists recognize the immorality of regulating murder for ethnic groups and this should help them realize the same for unborn children.
Unintended Consequnces: The second tier includes leaders listed below such as Randall Terry, Janet Folger and Priests for Life's Rev. Frank Pavone who promote both personhood and child-killing regulations. These defenders of life do not yet realize that their advocacy of personhood is contradicted and undermined when they defend leaders with "exceptions" and when they ask judges to uphold laws that say: if you have parental involvement, then you can kill the baby. This double-minded strategy resulted in an overwhelmingly pro-choice federal judiciary even though pro-life Republican presidents nominated 60% of our federal judges. This Republican judicial crisis is of our own making. After 30 years of asking originally family-friendly, pro-life judges to uphold laws that regulate the killing of a fetus, our legislation and their rulings have been compelled these judges to reject the personhood and the God-given right to life of the unborn, because unless they were monsters, they would never have been able to uphold a law that proscribes when and how to dismember an innocent child. Our own moral relativism, legal positivism, lack of clarity, and pro-life strategy has turned our own nominees effectively into pro-choice judges.
Non-Regulatory Anti-abortion Violence: All second-tier leaders researched by Profile Profiles oppose some anti-abortion violence. They rightly argue against non-regulatory abortion violence in that they oppose the vigilante killing of abortionists. However, each person on Tier 2 supports regulatory abortion violence. That is, they support those who commit some anti-abortion violence (supposedly in order to save others), by their advocacy of regulations on abortion. In the name of eventually ending the abortion holocaust, all second tier leaders defend politicians who intentionally kill some innocent people. Those who murder abortionists, and those who defend "pro-life" politicians who authorize the killing of innocent children, both share a similar justification: tolerance and support of a certain level of anti-abortion violence will lead to a sooner victory.
