ADOPTED
SENATE:
A
RESOLUTION
Acknowledging
a paramount right to life and the need for the protection of innocent human life
at every stage of life; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS,
as President Ronald Reagan declared in 1988 in Presidential Proclamation 5761,
America has given a great gift to the world through its recognition and
protection of the inalienable rights of human beings; and the right to life
belongs equally to babies in the womb, babies born handicapped, and the elderly
or infirm; and
WHEREAS,
medical and scientific evidence increasingly affirms that children before birth
shall have all the basic attributes of human personality and are in fact persons
with a right to life; and
WHEREAS,
the Georgia Republican Party was founded on the principle that all people shall
be free and equal before the law; and
WHEREAS,
the Republican Party has consistently advocated for the preservation and
protection of life under our laws; and
WHEREAS,
an amendment has been proposed for this state's Constitution, and the protection
of the sanctity of human life is in reality a local, state, national, and global
issue.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body recognize
that the right to life is paramount and the need for protection of the lives of
the innocent at every stage.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate is authorized and directed
to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to members of the public and
the press.
