Tier 4: Personhood Never

Tier 4 leaders and organizations fundamentally deny the personhood and God-given right to life of the unborn by advocating a permanent "legalization" and often even funding of the intentional killing of some preborn children for various reasons. This clear description of their position demonstrates that these leaders are pro-choice with varied exceptions.

The fourth tier includes Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, John McCain and those below who use the pro-life title but deny the personhood and God-given right to life of the unborn. Decades of regulating abortion using laws that end with and then you can kill the baby (informed consent, waiting periods, PBA ban, etc.) by pro-family organizations and governing officials have unavoidably undermined personhood and have moved leaders downward from the third to the fourth tier. Meanwhile the personhood movement pulls people upward to the first tier to reject both the regulation of murder and the so-called "exceptions," and to instead advocate now for personhood. God didn't care about all the fruit Eve did not bite from; nor did He list all the women David did not violate; nor focus on the children Herod did not kill. God looks at the exceptions.

Billy Graham teaches that Christians should support the intentional killing of some children, thus he rejects the God-given right to life of every person from conception.

President George W. Bush did not introduce, lobby for, nor sign any law that acknowledged the right to life and so could stop the killing of even a single child. Instead he had an enormous pro-abortion influence, e.g., giving Planned Parenthood hundreds of millions of dollars more than did even Bill Clinton.

Mitt Romney gives pro-family speeches to conservatives and has an actual record of being aggressively pro-abortion both before and especially after his claimed "pro-life" conversion.

Ron Paul wants to be pro-life but is officially pro-choice state by state, and so contradicts himself and wrongly assumes that states' rights supersede human rights, concluding that a state like California has the right to permit abortion. But the right to life is God-given so there can be no 'right' to decriminalize child killing.

A brief catalog of Samuel Alito's abortion-related rulings as a federal judge, with links to the full-text of his actual opinions, shows, contrary to the claim of prominent pro-life leaders, that Justice Alito repeatedly sides with the pro-abortion industry, not only ruling as one would expect from a typical "pro-choice" judge, but issuing opinions as expected from an abortion extremist.

As a candidate whom many pro-lifers want to support, her actual abortion record and rhetoric is shocking to the conscience.
