Yes I agree with that statement, although whom or what it was "endowed by..." remains questionable. It seems that the Right to Life is the essence of our continuing existence.
And this is why I will resist forever the stupid marxist slant that "the greater good" is more important than you or I are.
Do you agree with the following statement as written?

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

The phrase under question here is "Created Equal"
The right to life does NOT portend an immunity from Death.. The right to Liberty does not ESTABLISH that Liberty and the right to Happiness ( or Property ) does NOT guarantee the possession of it..
WE are talking about the ideals and principles given and established to one who was the product of a long established traditional belief that holds him above ALL others by divine right.. One who by those SAME traditions had a divine RIGHT to deprive other men of these rights..
Those Ideals are directly in contradiction to those traditions of a KING.. They not ONLY freed US.. they CHALLENGED him and the very society that spawned him
To speak to a KING as an EQUAL is beyond the scope of ALL that his culture held sacrosanct.. THIS is so even today.. The very concept of these ideals are a DIRECT contradiction to his very reason for existence..
Do I believe these words?? ABSOLUTELY!!
The Ideals of which these words refer are NOT the end all to the promise of Freedom and Liberty that has been the foundation of this Great Nation.. They are merely the beginning..
Nor have those Ideals ALW...

Nor have those Ideals ALWAYS been followed for ALL at ALL times but these words are never MORE important and NEVER more necessary then when THIS nation does NOT live UP to them..
We’re not perfect nor shall we ever BE perfect but these ideas and ideals don’t speak of perfection..
They speak of all the attempts to achieve it.. The QUEST for it.. The YEARNING for it..
As long as THESE words are our GOAL,, our Beacon of Hope,, the dream of America and her Freedoms and Liberties shall NEVER perish from this world..
I assure you that 0bama does not consider himself my equal.
I also do not believe that he holds the office of the Presidency in much regard..
I believe that he views the U.S. of A. through the eyes of the Black Militant ovement that he holds so dear.. One expoused by his GOOD friend and 20 year long Mentor,, Jerimiah Wright..
Look at it THIS way.. AS a decent person you have no love for the KKK.. Would you feel any better about it if they made you the top dog?? Would you have any more respect for the KKK or the position you're holding???
No.. of COURSE not.. Well.. If you have been paying ANY attention to the Militant Black Movement for the past 40 to 50 years,, then you'll already KNOW that they look upon this country as nothing more and nothing less then one BIG KKK nation..
THAT'S why they insist on having a nation of their own..
I would love to hear your interpretation. Not the meaning that you WANT it to be, please tell me what you think that statement meas as it is written.
If you really believe that it does, please explain the meaning of the 9th Amendment and how rights could be retained by the people.
While I am quite sure you know more about the Constitution than Adams, I think I gonna go with him anyway.
