We can't pass a law in here, but we can pass a resolution. 321 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:16,160 Scripture says, I knew you in the womb. To me, that's enough, that's all I need. 322 00:24:19,490 --> 00:24:24,590 I certainly am prayerful that we've not aborted the person that had the cure of cancer. 323 00:24:25,770 --> 00:24:30,250 I don't know. Somebody called me and said, you need to know the science. 324 00:24:31,210 --> 00:24:37,110 I do know this that in the State of North Carolina finds unborn at the stage of the 325 00:24:37,110 --> 00:24:42,210 village. If a pregnant woman is killed in her unborn, that's two deaths. 326 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:44,920 I think it should 327 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:53,360 be that way from start to begin in our country. So you see, and I certainly am grateful for 328 00:24:53,360 --> 00:24:58,020 They've done so using to bring this dark tension to bring it forward. 329 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,460 I've thought about it a long time, but I'm thankful for it. 330 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,240 And I'm going to turn over to you first. 331 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:06,140 Thank you. 332 00:25:06,860 --> 00:25:07,720 Thank you. 333 00:25:08,100 --> 00:25:16,740 Commissioners, and I especially want to thank everyone in attendance tonight for your show of support for the unborn. 334 00:25:17,460 --> 00:25:20,220 That's why we're here because they're not. 335 00:25:20,220 --> 00:25:28,500 That's why we speak because they can't, and it's our duty as followers of Christ to stand in the gap on their behalf. 336 00:25:30,460 --> 00:25:34,880 Jeremiah chapter 1 verse 5, and you referenced it a moment ago, Eddie. 337 00:25:35,780 --> 00:25:38,540 This is what God said to the prophet Jeremiah. 338 00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:43,060 I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. 339 00:25:44,420 --> 00:25:47,060 He takes ownership over life. 340 00:25:47,060 --> 00:25:53,760 He told Isaiah, the great prophet, the same thing in chapter 49, verse 1, the Bible says, 341 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:58,860 the Lord called me before my birth, from within the womb. 342 00:25:59,380 --> 00:26:01,500 He called me by my name. 343 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:10,540 The words of the Bible speak clearly concerning the issue of life, its value, and when it 344 00:26:10,540 --> 00:26:11,040 begins. 345 00:26:12,360 --> 00:26:14,800 God told both Jeremiah and Isaiah. 346 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:20,400 Even when you were unknown to anyone else, you were known to me. 347 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:26,320 I formed you, I gave you purpose, and I called your name. 348 00:26:27,500 --> 00:26:32,840 I'm thankful for the opportunity we have tonight to stand on the behalf of the unborn. 349 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:40,360 This resolution represents the deeply held convictions of thousands of citizens in Wilkes County. 350 00:26:40,360 --> 00:26:53,760 Men and women from across this county have signed their names in support of this effort to declare that a child in the womb has equal value to you and to us. 351 00:26:53,760 --> 00:27:04,600 And in my hands, I hold 1,835 signatures of Wilkes County citizens supporting this resolution. 352 00:27:09,380 --> 00:27:14,040 For a long time, people have prayed for these precious babies. 353 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,420 For decades, we've cried out for their protection. 354 00:27:18,360 --> 00:27:24,800 Our hearts are grieved that their innocence is so easily overlooked by this current culture. 355 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:38,980 We are saddened when we hear the monthly and yearly statistics telling us that the lives of thousands upon thousands of those made in the image of God have been extinguished. 356 00:27:40,140 --> 00:27:46,020 As followers of Christ, we cannot stand by in silence and witness this. 357 00:27:46,020 --> 00:27:53,300 When we read the Scriptures, we find that we are commanded to speak and to act on the behalf 358 00:27:53,300 --> 00:27:54,940 of these precious little ones. 359 00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:01,900 The Bible says in Proverbs, chapter 24, verses 11 and 12, these words. 360 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:13,520 Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to die, save them as they stagger to their death. 361 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:20,760 Don't excuse yourself by saying, look, we didn't know, 362 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,120 for God understands all hearts, and 363 00:28:26,120 --> 00:28:27,320 he sees you. 364 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,780 He who guards your soul knows you will. 365 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:36,900 He will repay all people as their actions deserve. 366 00:28:38,500 --> 00:28:41,840 We cannot claim ignorance concerning this issue. 367 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:48,840 The ability of an ultrasound machine has shown us the miracle of life in the womb. 368 00:28:49,780 --> 00:28:54,300 We can watch and hear the heartbeat of an eight-week-old baby. 369 00:28:55,320 --> 00:29:01,680 We can see a child stretch out his arms, kick his feet, and suck his thumb. 370 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:10,740 And we can witness the pain and suffering of these sons and daughters as they are pierced 371 00:29:10,740 --> 00:29:18,460 and prodded and poisoned by those who claim to have the right to end their life. 372 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,480 We will not remain silent. 373 00:29:23,780 --> 00:29:26,540 We cannot allow this to continue. 374 00:29:27,980 --> 00:29:37,600 God knows that we know the truth and He will hold us accountable for what we do with the truth. 375 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:46,620 This is the moment that we have been given to declare that we, as a county, believe in the 376 00:29:46,620 --> 00:29:51,960 value of every person, including those who have yet to be born. 377 00:29:53,300 --> 00:29:59,980 Tonight is a meaningful step that we take as a community to make it known. 378 00:30:00,340 --> 00:30:05,600 That we stand boldly for life. Thank 379 00:30:18,170 --> 00:30:28,090 you very much, Mr. Chairman and Commissioner, thank you for the opportunity to come before you tonight. 380 00:30:28,270 --> 00:30:36,190 You know, this resolution that has been presented represents what the pregnancy care center has been doing for 25 years in Wilkes County. 381 00:30:36,190 --> 00:30:45,130 And it is, it's very heartening to see the community which has supported this work for 25 years. 382 00:30:45,670 --> 00:30:51,570 We have been solely supported by this community, but to see the community come out in such great support 383 00:30:51,570 --> 00:30:59,710 and to see our county commissioners paying attention to this issue, something we have valued for these 25 years. 384 00:30:59,710 --> 00:31:06,390 You know, Mr. Chairman, you mentioned the fact that you're very thankful that the cure 385 00:31:06,390 --> 00:31:14,770 for cancer might not have been aborted, but you know, many children have been to the 386 00:31:14,770 --> 00:31:23,530 tune of 60 plus million. And that's just since 1973 since we started counting. And that 387 00:31:23,530 --> 00:31:28,150 even doesn't count some of the ones that are aborted to the abortion pill, which records 388 00:31:28,150 --> 00:31:31,470 are not kept as accurately today as they should be. 389 00:31:32,010 --> 00:31:34,030 So when we look at it and we say, 390 00:31:34,410 --> 00:31:38,450 where would we be today if we weren't awarding 391 00:31:38,450 --> 00:31:41,150 our most precious commodity? 392 00:31:41,190 --> 00:31:43,670 And that's our children, that's our unborn. 393 00:31:44,070 --> 00:31:47,490 I don't know of another species in this world 394 00:31:47,490 --> 00:31:51,350 that devalues their unborn, like we have. 395 00:31:51,830 --> 00:31:54,990 And so thank you so very much for this resolution, 396 00:31:54,990 --> 00:32:01,930 and for bringing this forward for the church that has come out for this community that has come 397 00:32:01,930 --> 00:32:06,850 out to say, yes, we agree with this. We want to see this. This is what we believe and 398 00:32:06,850 --> 00:32:11,870 moving forward.

Commissioners declaring 451 00:36:44,590 --> 00:36:49,710 Wilkes County North Carolina to be a strong advocate for life and urging the citizens 452 00:36:49,710 --> 00:36:55,370 of the county to promote and defend the unalemable right of look to life and the inherent 453 00:36:55,370 --> 00:37:02,030 dignity of all human beings, including the unborn from conception or fertilization through 454 00:37:02,030 --> 00:37:03,390 all stages of development. 455 00:37:03,390 --> 00:37:09,650 Whereas, the Declaration of Independence affirms that all men are created equal and have been 456 00:37:09,650 --> 00:37:14,250 endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, chief among them, right to 457 00:37:14,250 --> 00:37:19,270 laugh, and that the protection of these rights is an affirmative duty of federal, state, and 458 00:37:19,270 --> 00:37:25,450 local governments, and whereas the fifth and fourth-teenth amendments of the United States Constitution 459 00:37:25,450 --> 00:37:28,850 provide for the protection of human life and liberty. 460 00:37:28,850 --> 00:37:29,970 we're at 461 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:59,980 As Article 1 of the Constitution and North Carolina states that all persons are creating equal, that they are endowed by their creator, with certain invisible rights, that among these are life liberty, the enjoyment of the fruits of their own labor and pursuit of happiness, whereas James Madison, who is considered to be a father of the United States Constitution, wrote that the activation of all powers, legislative, executive and judiciary, in the same hands, may just be pronounced. 462 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,820 announced the very definition of tyranny. 463 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:09,020 Whereas the federal judiciary, as in the opinion of the Board of Commissioners, 464 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:13,760 accumulated an exercise power as far in excess of its proper role under the United States 465 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:19,600 Constitution, in its rulings concerning the rights of the unborn, and has violated the 466 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,280 above-stated precepts of the Declaration of Independence. 467 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:27,860 The United States Constitution and the State of North Carolina, whereas the Supreme Court 468 00:38:27,860 --> 00:38:33,760 of the United States, in the case of poker versus dough for 32, concluded that the Constitution 469 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:39,700 does not forbid a state or city, pursuant to democratic process from expressing a preference 470 00:38:39,700 --> 00:38:42,640 for normal childbirth instead of abortion. 471 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:49,680 We're asked the Wilkes County Board of Commissioners, desires to express its strong feeling 472 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:55,240 and deep concern that all human beings in the County of Wilkes, at every stage of development, 473 00:38:55,240 --> 00:39:02,180 including before birth, should be a 40 protection for max of cruelty and be
