The Second Amendment IS pro-life.

"Among the natural rights of the Colonists are these: First, a right to life; Secondly, to liberty; Thirdly, to property; together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can. These are evident branches of, rather than deductions from, the duty of self-preservation, commonly called the first law of nature...In short, it is the greatest absurdity to suppose it in the power of one, or any number of men, at the entering into society, to renounce their essential natural rights, or the means of preserving those rights; when the grand end of civil government, from the very nature of its institution, is for the support, protection, and defence of those very rights; the principal of which, as is before observed, are Life, Liberty, and Property. If men, through fear, fraud, or mistake, should in terms renounce or give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the grand end of society would absolutely vacate such renunciation. The right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of man to alienate this gift and voluntarily become a slave."

-- Samuel Adams, The Rights of the Colonists

Students for Tom Hoefling

The 2012 presidential race includes precisely one Tier One pro-life leader: Tom Hoefling. 

No other candidate has demonstrated the dedication and commitment to preserving life for the most helpless among us. Hoefling is a signer and the primary author of the Equal Protection for Posterity Resolution, a principled defense of life, and has spent his career fighting for life, from conception to natural death - unfortunately, more than can be said for any other presidential candidate in the race.

If every life is not respected then no life is respected. On this most vital of issues Tom Hoefling has taken a position that truly sets him apart from the pack. A candidate must be dedicated to protecting innocent life, and here Hoefling not only passes, he does so with flying colors.

For a new birth of freedom!

Tom Hoefling

Presidential Candidate

Tier 1 - Personhood Now

Tom Hoefling, founder and chairman of America's Party, is committed to the absolute obligation to protect every innocent human life.

Tom Hoefling has been a pro-life advocate for more than 20 years. Active for many years in the Republican Party, Tom left that party in 2008 and founded America's Independent Party, which has since changed its name to America's Party. The party is based on the principles of the Declaration of Independence. Tom has been party chairman since the party's founding.

America's Party:

Asserts the self-evident truth that our rights, including the right to life, come from the Creator God and are therefore unalienable.1

• Makes "the urgent imperative demand that all officers of government henceforth faithfully perform their sworn duty to defend innocent human life and constitutional republican governance."2
• Is an unparty, allowing affiliates to be simultaneously affiliated with another political party, and endorsing candidates based on principle rather than party affiliation.3
• Requires affiliates to swear or affirm belief that "our rights to life, liberty and private property are God-given and therefore unalienable."4
• Requires affiliates to pledge that they will, to the best of their ability, "seek to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and diligently work to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity."5
• Maintains that the Fourteenth Amendment imperatively requires that all persons within the jurisdictions of all the States be afforded the equal protection of the laws.6

In 2008, Tier 1 pro-life leader Alan Keyes7 was the party's presidential candidate, and Tier 1 pro-life leader Brian Rohrbough8 was the party's vice-presidential candidate. In 2012, Tom Hoefling is the party's presidential candidate, and Tier 1 pro-life leader J.D. Ellis is the party's vice-presidential candidate.

"I will shut down every abortion facility in the country"

Tom Hoefling has published the following statement at his campaign website9 under the title "I will shut down every abortion facility in the country":

"All officers of government in this country, in every branch, at every level, have as the first obligation of their sacred oath the protection of all innocent lives within their jurisdiction.

Should I be elected to the office of President of the United States, I will keep my oath.

Justice Blackmun, in Roe vs. Wade, admitted that “of course” the child in the womb is protected by the Fourteenth Amendment, if they are a person.

Since it is self-evident that they are a person, my first act as President, after having sworn the oath, will be to publish a presidential finding to that effect.

My second act will be to ask for the resignation of anyone in the executive branch who will not act accordingly.

My third act will be to order the closing of every abortion facility in the country, as per the explicit, imperative requirement of the Supreme Law of the Land.

'No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law.'

'No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.'”

-- Tom Hoefling
