I think it’s a foregone conclusion that I did not vote for Pres. Obama. Yes, I do pray for him. No, I don’t hate him nor do I fear him. He is a man. The office he holds deserves my respect but his views on babies I do not respect and in fact I denounce. Killing unborn children is wrong.
However, I do know some folk, who despite being pro-life, voted for Obama for a number of other reasons. I wanted to quickly take a look at some of those reasons so as to better understand where we’re at…
In the wake of the Tiller murder Dr. LeRoy Carhart, an abortion provider and associate of the late Mr. Tiller, had this to say:
Nebraska abortion doctor LeRoy Carhart called on the federal government Monday to treat all activities by “anti-choice domestic terrorists” as hate crimes after last week’s fatal shooting of Dr. George Tiller.
“This is the equivalent of Martin Luther King being assassinated,” he said of the killing of one of the nation’s best known late-term abortion doctors. “This is the equivalent of Pearl Harbor, the sinking of the Lusitania and any other major historic event where we’ve tolerated the intolerable for too long.”
Wait a minute… did he say “major historic event where we’ve tolerated the intolerable?”
How many lost their lives at Pearl Harbor? At least 2,390. Tomorrow, around 4,000 little lives will be lost through abortion. Mr. Carhart is helping to kill nearly 1 million little boys and girls every year.
I do not advocate the murder of abortion providers but I will not step away from the fact that abortion providers are killing babies.
MLK Jr. said,
Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time: the need for man to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.
My stance has and will continue to be peaceful and in this vein of thinking!
Did the violence of some in the civil rights movement deter the overall goal of those who wanted real change, peace, life, and equality for ALL in this country? No. MLK Jr. pushed forward and so will the pro-life cause.
Reality is abortion is the equivalent of Pearl Harbor, the sinking of the Lusitania and any other major historic event where we’ve tolerated the intolerable for too long.
No, I don’t know a lot about the new SCOTUS nominee… yet. But I am working on it. She is believed to be pro-choice but yet she is also catholic. (Not sure how that works).
Anyway, I think most people have a working knowledge of the 3 branches of our government but, just in case you missed it in school, indulge me for just a moment.
There are 3 branches of Government…
Legislative – Create Law
Executive – Enforce Law
Judicial – Interpret Law
Now, most people understand the difference between # 1 and # 3. However, a few don’t. So let me say it like this. Policy making and law creating is not the job of the Courts – any of them. Yes, that means the Supreme Court as well.
But this is apparently lost on Pres. Obama’s nominee:
If Bush, Palin, the Pope, any Republican, any Conservative, any Pro-life person had said what Clinton says in this video we would never hear the end of it… and rightfully so. But it’s Bill Clinton – the the beloved and one time messiah of the liberal pro-choice America. What Clinton says, goes.
Clinton’s clear lack of knowledge is impressive – and not surprising – but what is scary is that people are still wanting to get his advice on how to move forward with embryonic stem cell research. God help us.
