On 5/20/2006, at a Constitution Party of Oregon State Steering
Committee meeting in Wilsonville, after speeches had been given by
others regarding the apostasy of the National Committee from the
Pro-Life plank of the party, Mr. Paul deParrie rose to speak with all
the righteous fury of a prophet of old:

"I was shamed into helping the unborn after 12 years of silence, in
1986. Since then, my only client has been the unborn. I don't work for
a movement. I don't work for a party. I don't work for candidates. I
work for the unborn, and I don't give a flying flick about what people
want to do on paper with bylaws, and all that kind of stuff, because
it's just like the Pharisees, who had all their rules about the
Sabbath, but they didn't know that the Sabbath was made for man, and
not man for the Sabbath! I will stand for the unborn, and I will not
relent! I don't know Mr. Clymer, but Howard Phillips has lost ALL of my
respect, because he stands for people who want to kill ONE, only ONE,
innocent child, and that's all that counts! If you want ONE innocent
child, GO with this man, but I'll tell you what- I've got my paperwork
filled out. All it lacks is my signature, and my wife's signature, and
we're the hell out of here, if you vote to stay with a national party
that will put up with ONE dead baby, much less many thousands of dead
babies. We must continue to slaughter the wicked and guilty. And you
sir [pointing at Jim Clymer] need to repent! Because the blood will be
on your hands when you stand before God. You won't be able to argue
about procedural votes, and keeping the party together before God!
You'll be standing there quaking in your boots, wishing you'd washed
yourself in the blood of the Lamb. That's all I've got to say...The
only thing that matters to me is doing my job to stop the killing of
the unborn."
He then stepped out for the room and moaned in pain from an apparent
heart attack. CPR was attempted by some bystanders, and the paramedics
arrived within minutes, but there was nothing more that could be done.
The meeting was disbanded without the anticipated disaffiliation vote
being taken. Paul deParrie was perhaps the most outspoken voice for the
unborn in the State of Oregon. With his passing, a great mantle has
fallen from heaven which no man has been found worthy to bear.
