A Culture of Death

The more I see the more disappointed I get. My ultimate faith is in Jesus, so while our wayward path is upsetting to me and causes me to stand up for the things of God, our continued decent into this culture of death does not cause me to want to give up.

People who say they are Christian yet do everything they can to support and promote abortion may be fooling themselves and some of the people, but not everyone and certainly not God. I've asked this before; if you call yourself "Christian", what do you think God's attitude toward abortion is? Does He like it?

President Obama's answer to Pastor Rick Warren when asked about if abortion was wrong, answered that the answer was above his paygrade. Rick Warren's followup should have been something like, if it's above your paygrade then that means there is a 50/50 chance you believe in God's eyes abortion is wrong. Then why err on the side of death? Disappointingly the Pastor didn't go anywhere with that

I continue to point out that what counts is ones "walk" not just their talk that tells where a person stands. Mr. Obama has never once voted for any form of restriction to abortion. His record:

  • Has voted for legalizing the late term procedure known as "Partial Birth Abortion"
  • Is in favor of embryonic stem cell research
  • Re-instituted funding for abortions in other countries (The Mexico City Accord)
  • Promises to pass the Freedom of Choice Act which will in effect remove all States laws that restrict abortions such as parental notifications, late term, etc.
  • Is against allowing doctors, nurses and pharmacists from not performing abortions or distributing oral contraceptives due to conscience.
  • Looks to his massive health care overhaul bill to further expand the practise of abortion throughout our land
A few more tidbits to chew on:


  • In a recent interview with the New York Times, Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg candidly shared: “Frankly, I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of.”
  • Hillary Clinton was recently given an award by Planned Parenthood (The largest for profit company in the abortion industry), in which Mrs. Clinton stated during her acceptance “The 20th-century reproductive-rights movement, really embodied in the life and leadership of Margaret Sanger, was one of the most transformational in the entire history of the human race.” In a 1921 article, Sanger explained: “The most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective.”

Did you catch that! One of our Supreme Court justices said that when she voted in favor of Roe v. Wade, she thought she was voting for a way to reduce the amount of undesirables in our society. Don't believe me? Here is the article in the New York Times Magazine. Where was the outrage! And Mrs. Clinton is not ever phased by glorifying Margaret Sanger who, like Justice Ginsberg, is in favor of Eugenics. I am going on the record to say that our President is in the same camp, as is the speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (who's a professing Catholic) and Senate Majority leader Harry Reid (who states he is pro-life).

Their walk doesn't equal their talk. Their yes means no, and their no means yes.
