Pro-Life National 'Judicial Petition' Initiated

Contact: Lawrence Cronin, Spokane Pro-life, 509-671-3808, JUDICIALPETITION@gmail.com  

SPOKANE, Wash., Oct. 30, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ -- A national Petition effort aimed at the Judicial Branch of the U.S. Government was initiated this month by a Spokane, Washington Pro-life group. This is the first known petitioning of the Federal Judiciary in two hundred years. It seeks to have any Federal Court define the word "person," which has never been done legally -- either for the born or the unborn.

This "JUDICIAL PETITION," a legal action that is a right under the First Amendment, is a single sheet, two-pages long and takes about ten minutes to read. It may be read and signed electronically by anyone, including students, 14 years of age and older. The Petition is available at the Spokane group's website: www.spokaneprolife.com.  

Petitions will be delivered to individual Federal District Courts once 10,000 petitions have been signed per Federal Court. There are 90 Federal District Courts in the United States. The goal is for one-million signed Petitions by January 22, 2015, the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, 1973.

This effort comes about as a result of four years of effort on the part of the Spokane group, including a legal case which made its way from Spokane, Washington to the U.S. Supreme Court in March of this year. The Spokane group's intent is to make this Petition as public as is humanly possible, to rationally convince the Courts that they have a legal duty under their Oath of Office as Federal Judges to "say what the law is," therefore, to define "person," which appears 50 times in our greatest law, the Constitution. Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. Cranch 137, 176-180, (1803).
