Adopting the practice of the Catholic Archdiocese of Durban, S. Africa, we call 'Pro-Life" "Pro-Live", to call
attention to what Cardinal Bernardin (RIP) of Chicago called the "seamless-garment" dimension of human life, from
fertilization/conception to natural death)

The Severest Instance of Genocide in All of Human History IS THE GENOCIDE AGAINST
FUTURE GENERATIONS !!

If it were not for the so-called "sexual-revolution", which began during and after World War I, there  would not be be
anywhere nearly so many babies fertilized, conceived and then aborted as there have been in the last 40 years.

It is sexual modesty in the media and in families and  in public that is the BEST METHOD OF FAMILY  PLANNING AND
POPULATION CONTROL,  NOT ARTIFICIAL CONTRACEPTION, IVF, AND ABORTION  !!

The terror and violence against the Pre-Born has NOT led to a more peaceful and loving society, but to ever-increasing
violence in the media, and against women, children the elderly and all people.

This violence-graphic and pornographic addiction is a threat to the republican form of government, which requires the
widespread social preference for civility and courtesy, NOT violence and excessive and/or extra-marital sex.

Article 4 Section 4 of the US Constitution requires and empowers the United States to "guarantee the republican form of
government to every State .... and, on application of the Legislature...or the Executive of a State . .  ." to protect that state
against "domestic violence"  --  which includes violence within the household, the womb and the IVF "tube". and against
the human embryo-killed to derive embryonic stem-cells.

Hence, just as the Supreme Court upheld the Congress of the USA in the 1890's in admitting Utah into the Union  ONLY on
condition it forsook and outlawed polygamy (as inimical to the republic form of government), so Congress has the power,
and the Courts have the duty, to guarantee the republic form of government against pernicious acts, displays, incitements
and inducements to meaningless violence and especially against violent pornography.

Just as Art. 4 Section 4 of the Constution limited and limits Mormons' "freedom" of religion as far as marriage is
concerend, so too does the same Art. and Section limit the public's "freedom" of speech, press, image and assembly, and
both of these reasonable limitations to the First Amendment for the sake of "guaranteeing the republican form of
government".

Hence, the following language does NOT need to be placed in the Constitution to be Constitutionally valid.. It can, should,
ought and must be an enforceable Act of Congress and/or of the various State Legislatures:


"It is the duty of each branch of government and of every level of government, and every institution, agency, enterprise or
person, whether natural or juridical, to protect and foster human life at every stage from the moment of
fertilization/conception to the moment of natural  death.

"Congress and the various states and localities shall enforce this act  with varying degrees of civil and criminal penalites,
concordant with the severity and number of each violation hereof.

"Specifically.......'

“1) Neither written, spoken, nor sung depictions nor graphic images, whether natural or drawn by humans or machines, of
meaninglessly  violent and/or sexually explicit material or paraphanalia, without any redeeming social, moral and ethical
merit, are protected by the First Amendment to the US Constitution, except to the minimum extent necessary to inform
about the facts of history, current events, or medicine, or as protected expression of a licit religion.

“2) Random, casual, universal sexual seductiveness and/or intercourse and/or violence, or displays thereof,  have no
redeeming social, moral and ethical merit.

“3) The Municipalities, State Legislatures, Congress and the Courts shall define both misdemeanor and felony offenses for
violations of this Amendment, and their corresponding punishments, according to the severity and number of each
offense.

“4) a) The President of the United States, with the advice and consent of the then-Justices of the US Supreme Court, shall
appoint a Board of pre-publication censorship consisting of an uneven number of Censors, at least nine in number, as
much as possible, evenly divided among men and women, with authority over material from any source, which may be
produced, published, displayed, or broadcast across State Lines or from or to International venues.
b) The Governors of the various States, with the advice and consent of their respective State  Supreme Courts, or the
equivalent of  their  State Supreme Courts, shall likewise appoint similar State Boards of Pre-Censorship with authority
over material from any source, which may be produced, published, displayed , or broadcast, in their States, provided that
State restrictions be no less restrictive, but may be more restrictive, than Federal restrictions.
c) The various States shall empower their various local units of government to appoint in each a similar local Court of Pre-
Censorship, with the advice and consent of the  State and Municipal Judges of their respective Circuits, provided that local
governmental restriction be at least as restrictive, but may be more restrictive, than their State’s restrictions.

“5) This Act is justified by the duty of government to protect the public health and safety from the violence, mayhem,
mental illness, sexually-transmitted diseases, extra-marital sexual activity, teen  pregnancies, unwanted pregnancies and
unwanted and/or abused children, as well as spousal and partner abuse, which have all been generally increasing since
World War I, and particularly since the United States’s involvement in the Vietnamese civil war.

"6) This Act arises pursuant to Article IV, Section 4 of the United States' Constitution,  which requires the Federal
Government to guarantee the republican form of government in each State, and to protect each State from domestic
violence, upon application of the Legislature of one or more given State(s), or of the Executive(s) thereof, in the event the
Legislature(s) cannot be convened."

Evidence abounds that meaningless and or cruel violence and sexual violence are inimical ("enemies to") the republican
form of government.  Such evidence includes the following:

Facts About Media Violence and Effects on the American Family (from http://www.babybag.com/articles/amaviol.htm )
  • In 1950, only 10% of American homes had a television and by 1960 the percentage had grown to 90%. Today 99%
    of homes have a television. In fact, more families own a television than a phone. (1)
  • 54% of U.S. children have a television set in their bedrooms. (2)
  • Children spend more time learning about life through media than in any other manner. The average child spends
    approximately 28 hours a week watching television, which is twice as much time as they spend in school. (3)
  • The average American child will witness over 200,000 acts of violence on television including 16,000 murders
    before age 18.(4)
  • Polls show further that three-quarters of the public finds television entertainment too violent. When asked to select
    measures which would reduce violent crime "a lot," Americans chose restrictions on television violence more
    often than gun control. (5)
  • A study of population data for various countries showed homicide rates doubling within the 10 to 15 years after the
    introduction of television, even though television was introduced at different times in each site examined. (6)
  • Longitudinal studies tracking viewing habits and behavior patterns of a single individual found that 8-year-old boys,
    who viewed the most violent programs growing up, were the most likely to engage in aggressive and delinquent
    behavior by age 18 and serious criminal behavior by age 30. (7)
  • Watching TV has been linked to obesity in children. (8)
  • Studies suggest that higher rates of television viewing are correlated with increased tobacco usage, increased
    alcohol intake and younger onset of sexual activity. (9,10,11)
  • Potential adverse effects of excessive exposure to media include: increased violent behavior; obesity, decreased
    physical activity and fitness, increased cholesterol levels and sodium intake; repetitive strain injury (video
    computer games); insomnia; photic seizures; impaired school performance; increased sexual activity and use of
    tobacco and alcohol; decreased attention span; decreased family communication; desensitization; excess
    consumer focus. (9,21)
  • Fifty-five percent of children questioned usually watch television alone or with a friend, but not with their families.
    (13)
  • According to the National Television Violence Study, the context in which violence is portrayed is as important to
    its impact as the amount of violence. The study concluded that 66% of children's programming had violence. Of the
    shows with violent content three-quarters demonstrated unpunished violence and when violence occurred 58% of
    the time, victims were not shown experiencing pain. (14)
  • Forty-six percent of all television violence identified by the study took place in children's cartoons. Children's
    programs were least likely to depict the long-term consequences of violence (5%) and they portray violence in a
    humorous fashion 67% of the time. (14)
  • The use of parental warnings and violence advisories made the programs more of a magnet than they might
    otherwise have been. Parental Discretion Advised and PG-13 and R ratings significantly increased boys' interest in
    the shows, although they made girls less interested in watching. (14)

  • VIDEO GAMES AND CYBERSPACE VIOLENCE
  • The Internet, a global "network of networks" is not governed by a government or private entity. This vacuum leaves
    no checks or limits on the information maintained or made accessible to users. No person or entity owns the
    Internet, leaving no one accountable for the accidents which occur on its highways. (15)
  • The incidence of violence on the Internet is difficult to quantify because the technology has moved faster than our
    capability to monitor it. Evidence of violence is anecdotal rather than statistical mainly because communication on
    the Internet is private. Reported cases of abuse are relatively infrequent, but as the technology continues to
    advance, there is potential for great harm as well as great good. (15)
  • The Internet could become a stalking ground for child molesters who have moved from the playground to the
    Internet attracted by the anonymity it offers. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has
    documented more than a dozen cases in the last year of cyberspace seduction by pedophiles in which children
    were lured by on-line predators into traveling to locations hundreds of miles from their homes where they were
    then sexually assaulted. (16)
  • The Oklahoma bombing suspect obtained a copy of the "Turner Diaries," a book which advocates the violent
    overthrow of government, off the Internet. Whereas before, one would have had to know exactly where to look and
    be pre-disposed to search for the book, the Internet made it easily accessible to a global audience. (17)
  • Although there has been less research on the effects of violence in video games and the Internet because they are
    new and changing technologies, there is little reason to doubt that findings from other media studies will apply here
    too. Young children instinctively imitate actions they observe, without always possessing the intellect or maturity
    to determine if such actions are appropriate. Due to their role-modeling capacity to promote real world violence,
    there is deep concern that playing violent video games, with their fully digitalized human images, will cause
    children to become more aggressive towards other children and become more tolerant of, and more likely to
    engage in, real-life violence. (18)

  • MUSIC VIOLENCE
  • The Parents Music Resource Center reports that American teenagers listen to an estimated 10,500 hours of rock
    music between the 7th and 12th grades alone - just 500 hours less than they spend in school over twelve years.
    (19)
  • Entertainment Monitor reported that only 10 of the top 40 popular CDs on sale during the 1995 holiday season were
    free of profanity, or lyrics dealing with drugs, violence and sex. (19)
  • A recent survey by the Recording Industry Association of America found that many parents do not know what
    lyrics are contained in the popular music their children listen to. (20)
  • In September 1995, Warner Music Group bowed to public pressure and announced it was severing its 50% stake in
    Interscope Records, home to Nine Inch Nails and controversial rap artists Snoop Doggy Dog and Dr. Dre. Rap
    artists simply turned to a different distribution network and their CDs continue to hit the stores with lyrics which
    glorify guns, rape, and murder. (20)

Group Sees More Sex and Violence in TV Family Hour

By Peter Kaplan Wed Sep 5, 5:29 PM ET
1.        WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Americans are being subjected to more sex, violence and profane language during the traditional, early-evening "family hour" of broadcast television
viewing, a U.S. watchdog group said on Wednesday.
2.        A study conducted by the non-profit Parents Television Council found that instances of violence during family-hour broadcast TV had increased by 52.4 percent since it conducted a
similar study in 2001, while the amount of sexual content grew by 22.1 percent.
"In the past six years, the family hour has become even more hostile to children and families," the Parents Television Council said.
The family hour covers programs between 8 and 9 p.m. EDT Monday through Saturday and between 7 and 9 p.m. EDT on Sundays, the group said.
The Parents Television Council examined broadcast programs originally airing during three separate two-week periods of the 2006-2007 television season on the six major broadcast
networks: Walt Disney Co's ABC, CBS Corp, News Corp's Fox; NBC, majority owned by General Electric; CW, a joint venture of CBS and Warner Bros.; and Fox's My Network TV.
Representatives of the networks were not immediately available for comment, but the study was immediately criticized by an industry-funded group called the TV Watch.
TV Watch said the study had used "faulty analysis, biased methodology and suspect omissions as part of an ongoing effort to influence regulators and lawmakers to take family viewing
decisions out of the hands of parents and give them to the government."
The executive director of TV Watch, Jim Dyke, said parents had the means to control what their children watched, including the "V-chip" feature built into TV sets that allows them to set
controls based upon program ratings.
"Parents need to make the decisions about what's appropriate for their child," Dyke said.
The Parents Television Council said it tallied 2,246 instances of violent, sexual and profane content in 180 hours of original programming on the networks, a number that amounted to one
every 4.8 minutes.
It cited "adult-themed" shows that aired during the family hour, such as a Fox program called Bones, and Desire, which airs on My Network TV.
The Parents Television Council said broadcasters also were taking "graphic and explicit" programs originally run in later time slots and re-airing them during the family hour.
Only 10.6 percent of the 208 episodes in the study were free of any violent and sexual content and foul language, the Parents Television Council said.
The group tagged the Fox network as the "worst offender," saying it counted 20.78 instances of violent, sexual or profane content per hour. And it singled out Fox's American Dad as the
most objectionable, with 52 instances per hour.
Parents Television Council said CW was the "cleanest" network overall, with 9.44 instances of objectionable content per hour. It said the only shows with no objectionable content were
game shows and reality shows, such as NBC's Deal or No Deal.
The Parents Television Council said broadcasters and advertisers had undertaken efforts to "clean up" the family hour shortly after its 2001 study.
"Unfortunately that initial encouragement was short-lived," the group said


Moreover, a longitudinal study of over 8,000 pregnancies in Finland  showed the EVEN WHERE ABORTION is,"LEGAL' ,"SAFE" AND "FREE", WOMEN WHO DELIBERATELY HAVE AN
ABORTION ARE 3 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO DIE WITHIN A YEAR THAN ARE WOMEN WHO GIVE LIVE BIRTH, AND 2 AND A HALF TIMES MORE LIKELY TO DIE WITHIN A YEAR THAN
ARE WOMEN WHO SUFFER A NATURALLY OCCURING STILL-BIRTH  ! ! (See:
