Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

October 13, 2010

Within a few hours of her birth at New Hampshire?s Concord Hospital, Cheyenne Irish was abducted by the DCYF, New Hampshire?s so-called child protection bureaucracy.

According to paperwork filed by the DCYF, Cheyenne?s mother, Stephanie Taylor, had already ?neglected? the newborn. Stephanie?s only action had been to give birth to Cheyenne. The only way she could have avoided the charge of neglecting her child would have been to avoid giving birth to her.

The DCYF apparently assumes that Stephanie Taylor, in order to be a fit mother, should have aborted her unborn daughter.

Cheyenne?s father, Jonathan Irish, was also described as unsuitable because of his distant association with the Oath Keepers, a group that encourages law enforcement and military personnel to be faithful to the U.S. Constitution. There are some concerns about the couple?s domestic life, but neither has committed an offense that would justify the abduction of their newborn daughter ? unless holding pro-constitutional political views and a refusal to abort one?s child are considered crimes.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
