Fasten Your Seatbelts......

Okay, so it's been a while since I've posted.....mea culpa.....but I've been busy with family and friends and those other important things that one can do that don't cause one's blood pressure to soar to artery bursting levels. Now, however, the BP is bubbling over because the fecal substance is about to impact the rotary oscillator.

Now let's be clear about something.....I hate politics. I find it banal and trite and full of a lot of people that care way too much about themselves and their petty fiefdoms. That is not to say that every politico is inherently bad, it is a recognition that the practice of politics is like a vat of hydrochloric acid that will dissolve even the heartiest soul that finds himself immersed therein.

That being said, my rage....yes, rage.....flows from the impending deregulation of the abortion industry. With an avowed Liberal in the White House and Congress firmly in the hands of the Democrats, it is only a matter of time before the abortion mills throughout the world will be funded, directed and have their advertising supplied by the United State Government. I'm sure that Planned Parenthood, NARAL, the NAG gang, et al are ecstatic.

Let me be clear: Life begins at conception!
Let me be clearer: Life is a gift of God.
Let me be clearer still: That child in the womb is a person.
In case your not paying attention: It is not an inviable tissue mass.
For those who might still be confused: ABORTION IS MURDER!!!!!!!!

So that I may be completely understood, I also believe that the death penalty is wrong, euthanasia is wrong, and assisted suicide in any form is absolutely and completely right out!

In the ensuing months, we face a cascading number of presidential actions that will remove any and all limitations on funding abortions on military bases and through overseas aid programs. We can't export anything of substance to the world, so we are going to make it possible for women everywhere to enjoy the freedom to kill their babies in utero and for it to be funded by the American taxpayer.

But wait....there's more. It won't be long before the brainiacs in Congress bring forward the latest version of the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA). This is not only a bold faced slap at any kind of traditional understanding of state's rights or of the United States Constitution; it is a license to commit murder. Any controls over access to abortion by underage girls or wives who just don't like the idea of having their husband's baby will be wiped away in the stroke of a pen.

Is this why so many millions of Americans have fought and died on domestic and foreign shores, so a woman could freely terminate the life of her unborn child? God, please tell me it ain't so.

Right.....deep breath. I realize that it is hard to tell because I am somewhat upset about this, but I really am not angry at the women who have been fed this lie about abortion. I feel for them; I pray for them and their unborn children. Abortion has destroyed far more lives than the body count of innocent children readily indicates. I cannot believe that any woman who endures this horrific procedure could ever be the same. In God there is forgiveness; and I hope and pray that anyone who has been subjected to this torment will find that forgiveness in His loving embrace.

It is against those pointy-headed, pseudo-intellectual, post-modern merchants of death that I rage. It is against the idea that anyone has the right to unilaterally decide the fate of another living human being that I rage. It is against the idea that life is merely a commodity that can be discarded when it is inconvenient that I rage.

I find comfort in the belief that out of bad things God can and will bring good things. I find comfort in the efforts of those who believe in the sanctity of life to promote alternatives to abortion like adoption. I find comfort that there are still people of faith the world over who will stand firm for what is right.

Please pray that God will have mercy on those who are in turmoil and hurting. Pray that He will guide them to seek wise council and make right decisions. Pray that He will guide the leaders of this nation and the world to take seriously their responsibility to protect and defend those who are unable to defend themselves.

There are few issues that make me quite as crazy as this one. Please pray for the unborn, that their little faces may one day feel the warmth of the Son and hear the Word of God.
