"So everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not do them
will be like a foolish man who built his house upon the sand. And the
rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against
that house, and it fell-and great and complete was the fall of it."
(Matthew 7:25-26)
On Monday August 8, 2022, the Senate Judiciary Committee will
vote on Governor Phil Murphy's nomination to make Matt Platkin the
next Attorney General of New Jersey. I do not believe he is the right
person for this important position within our state government.
Earlier last month, as acting Attorney General, Mr. Platkin announced the
establishment of a "Reproductive Rights Strike Force" to be created as a part
of the Department of Law and Public Safety. This "Strike Force" will
protect New Jersey residents seeking an abortion, and/or those
traveling to the state to have an abortion.
If you do not know already, in the wake of the decision to overturn
Roe vs. Wade, fanatically pro-abortion Governor Murphy has
designated New Jersey as an "abortion sanctuary state".
According to Marie Tasy, Executive Director of New Jersey Right To Life,
Platkin's "Strike Force" will seek civil and criminal remedies against
those who "intimidate reproductive health providers"
or patients seeking their services.
The very words, "Strike Force" seems to hold sinister connotations
of repression and punishment towards groups opposed to
the deliberate taking of human life. It also brings to mind
a group of state-sanctioned "enforcers" of another
era known as Hitler's Brown Shirts.
Any kind of mobilized "Strike Force" initiated by a
politically ambitious official of state is both
unnecessary and unconstitutional.
Under the First Amendment, the American people have the
right to make their feelings known through protest, as long
as they assemble peacefully and are not trespassing or
vandalizing public or private property. And this includes
the citizens of this state with deeply held convictions
regarding the sanctity of human life.
Where was Platkin's professed outrage regarding the right to
protection when violent pro-abortion groups like "Jane's Revenge"
were on a rampage across this nation, staging attacks on
and vandalizing pro-life crisis pregnancy centers?
When like-minded individuals were and apparently are still making
threats against and stalking outside the homes of the Supreme Court
justices who overturned Roe vs. Wade?
This proposed "Strike Force" is nothing more than political appeasement
being made by a self-centered panderer towards the pro-abortion groups
which have supported him. It is his personal guarantee that he is
"on their side" concerning the argument over abortion in this state.
His proposal for their "protection" while threatening to prosecute
those in the pro-life camp is clearly an abuse of authority.
If Mr. Platkin fails to realize that one of his chief responsibilities as
New Jersey's next Attorney General will be to uphold and to protect the
rights guaranteed to all New Jersey citizens under the U.S. Constitution,
in a fair and impartial manner, then he is not on anyone's side!
The glorious document of our freedom is like no other constitution
in the world. Now more than ever America needs men and women
serving in public office-local, state, and federal- who believe
in and will adhere to the principles of the Constitution.
More importantly, we need a return to righteous leadership
in this nation. We need to elect public servants who realize
and expect to be held accountable for their actions, not
just before the American people, but before Almighty God.
By the way, did you know that the United States Constitution
is based on the Word of God? In the following presentation,
America's top-tier Christian historian David Barton teaches
that we cannot have the Constitution without God.
