In this clip from Lesson 2 of The Jenny Beth Show founding-principles series, constitutional scholar Bill Norton explains what the founders meant by the right to life. It is not only the right to breathe and move, he argues, but the right to exist and to sustain that existence. From planting a garden to taking medicine to defending yourself, the right to self-preservation flows directly out of the right to life, and it is the true foundation of the Second Amendment.
Bill Norton is the author of Behind the Bill of Rights and a recurring guest on The Jenny Beth Show. Watch the full lesson at jennybethshow.com, and get involved with Tea Party Patriots Action at teapartypatriots.org.
