It is also important to understand the domino effect. It doesn’t end with abortion. Abortion promotes the idea that you can eliminate someone if they inconvenience you. Abortionists in the United States are now pushing through laws to legalize killing babies after they are born.  California has already passed such a law. Canada and Europe have shown us that once killing babies after birth is accepted, they move on to legalizing killing children and adults who are not wanted, are critically ill or injured, are aged, or are just depressed. However, the effect goes beyond legal channels to effect everyday life. If you feel it is acceptable to kill a baby that gets in the way of your happiness, that feeling easily spreads to other people who get in your way. As a result, we have seen a great increase in spouse and child abuse, mothers killing their children, road rage, and murders, including mass murders. Once you believe life is expendable, it grows like a cancer to infect all of society. Therefore it is important to help people see that life is important and taking any life deprives society of the contributions that life could have made. We cannot be silent and ignore the growing belief that life is expendable. Those who recognize the value of life must speak out and not let those who profit from abortion silence them.

However, laws alone won’t solve the problem as long as many people continue to view it as acceptable. Prohibition showed us that. Alcohol was outlawed but carried on in secret. The Black market continued to supply alcohol to illegal bars and nightclubs. As long as people want something, someone will provide it.  As long as people feel they can commit sex outside marriage and get away with it, they will do so, and when they get pregnant, they will seek an abortion and other people will provide them. Therefore, the important thing that is needed is to  help people see that abortion is wrong. Since many people today either don’t believe in God or have convinced  themselves that God doesn’t care what they do, it will do no good to tell them God hates killing babies. They must be convinced that not only does it kill the baby, who is a living person from conception, it also harms the mother.

While the goal has been to repeal Roe vs Wade, overturning it is not the end of the fight. Roe vs Wade set off a tidal wave that seeks to destroy America. Before Roe vs Wade, abortion was viewed almost universally as wrong and only practiced in back alleys by the truly desperate. Even they often viewed it as wrong but saw no other alternative. Sex outside marriage was restricted to prostitutes and those outside the general culture due to fear of pregnancy and the resulting social scorn. It was illegal in every State. When Roe vs Wade was decided, it allowed abortion by preventing the courts from prosecuting those who violated the laws against abortion. It never made it legal. At first, most people viewed it as legal but wrong. However abortionists took advantage of it and abortion became widespread. It gave people the idea they could have sex without having to worry about the consequences, however it was slow to catch on because many still viewed it as wrong. As it became widespread and the media promoted it, more people began to see it as acceptable.  Overturning it doesn’t make it illegal, it has always been illegal until recently. Overturning it allowed the courts to enforce the laws against abortion. Many States rushed to reinstate their abortion laws but some States rushed to legalize abortion. If abortion is legal in your State, you need to push the legislature to make it illegal.  Laws legalizing abortion are unconstitutional because the Constitution guarantees the right to life and States can not legally take away that right, however it depends on the courts to enforce the laws. We have many liberal courts that do not recognize the rule of law and feel they have the right to  allow abortion to continue. They claim they are broadly interpreting the law but are openly violating it. Therefore it is important to vote in legislators who will pass laws against abortion and judges that will respect the law.

The Attorney Generals of 22 States have called  on the FDA to reverse its new policy on abortion pills.  Until recently the drugs were considered so dangerous that they could only be administered in a hospital setting with an attending physician present. However, the FDA has issued new guidelines at the urging of President Biden that allow it to be sold over the counter by licensed pharmacies with no medical supervision. It is hard to imagine that the previous restrictions are suddenly no longer needed. If it was felt to be that dangerous before, why isn’t it considered dangerous now? All pregnancies can cause severe bleeding and infection if the afterbirth does not come away clean. Abortion drugs increase the risk because the child is forcefully expelled and not a natural birth. Most natural births are attended by a doctor or midwife who can spot problems but the drugs can now be purchased over the counter or by mail and taken in the privacy of their own home where there won’t be any doctor or midwife present and the woman may be completely alone with no one available to summon help in case she has a medical emergency. The woman does not even need to consult a doctor before purchasing it to see if she is at risk of complications. It is irresponsible to dispense such dangerous drugs with no medical supervision.

The first bills passed by a new Congress indicate their top priorities. Democrats in the last 3-4 Congresses have chosen to start their  sessions by passing legislation that would open all elections in the country to widespread fraud by repealing all safeguards to protect the elections against fraud. They didn’t become law because Republicans opposed them. The Republicans opened the new Congress this month by passing a bill that would bar killing babies that are born alive. We aren’t talking about babies in the womb that you can lie and say they aren’t babies and people will believe it if they don’t know any better and aren’t allowed to see the ultrasounds. These are babies that are born and seen by doctors and nurses. They are breathing on their own. To kill them is cold-blooded murder. Republicans passed the bill after California enacted legislation to allow doctors to kill a baby up to 28 days after it is born. The bill won’t get enacted into law because the Senate won’t pass it and President Biden will not sign it, but it puts legislators on record. Liberal congressmen showed just how determined they are to kill babies. They condemned the bill as extreme and stated that Americans do not support it. The fact is that the majority of Americans oppose abortion and are overwhelmingly against killing live babies after they are born. If the American people were to vote on the bill, they would pass it without question. If the Congressmen who voted against the bill get reelected in the next election, it will mean either Americans no longer have any backbone to stand up for what they believe, or they are so greedy, they will sell their children in return for government handouts. The only other reason would be that the elections are fixed so the people don’t get to express their will.

We are now hearing of a university in Pennsylvania that is harvesting organs from babies while they are still alive. That is shocking to us who value life but is a natural conclusion for those to whom the only value that life has is in dollars and cents. While the debate in America focuses on abortion because the majority of Americans value life, they are more open about their intentions in Canada and Europe. There are standard practices in Europe and Canada developed by Hitler to dispose of those who are sick, disabled, or merely old and to harvest organs from living people. While this university got caught, I imagine it is going on in other American universities as well. It is  illegal, but they feel the law doesn’t apply to them and what you don’t know won’t bother you. While many people in America rush to get universal health care provided by the government, they need to realize that health care will only be given if a government board feels that health care is worth the investment based on what you contribute to society. The old, the critically sick, the disabled, the unborn, have no protection.

A law allowing abortionists to kill a baby up to 28 days AFTER birth has just taken effect in California and other States are considering similar bills. Abortion was just a smoke screen to open the door to eliminate unwanted people, including severely injured, terminally sick, the elderly, and the mentally ill. All we have to do is watch what is taking place in Canada, Britain, and elsewhere in Europe. We have watched as they have legalized infanticide, mercy killing of those terminally ill or severely injured (their consent is not required), and assisted suicide, or are in the process of doing so. Margaret Sanger started what has become Planned Parenthood to limit the spread of Blacks and the poor and cashed in on government funds available for women’s health care to make it financially profitable. Planned Parenthood expanded to include abortion once it became legal to back up contraceptives which are terribly unreliable and to cash in on additional government funds which liberal politicians made available for it. A lot of the government funds they receive goes to elect politicians that will protect their cash cow and vote them additional funds. They then expanded into selling body parts gleaned from abortions to add to their income. Now, Planned Parenthood is expanding services in their college-based clinics to include gender transforming drugs and surgery and pushing for government funds. It seems that Planned Parenthood is getting increasingly greedy at our expense. While the media continues to play up every attack on an abortion clinic (which occur only occasionally), they totally ignore attacks on pro-life centers which are occurring almost daily. It is estimated that pro-life centers are attacked 22 times as often as abortion clinics. That doesn’t include churches that are attacked for their pro-life stand.

Church and State-A Liberal politicians cry out when Christians call for protecting life, saying that the Constitution requires a separation of church and State. It does but not like they say. The Constitution prohibits the government from passing laws restricting the free exercise of religion. It does not prohibit the church from voicing its opinion on religious matters. Speaking one’s views on the value of life falls under the Constitution’s protection of free speech. You do not lose the protection of the Constitution simply because you are a Christian. Without God, man seeks only his own best interest. He can say that he wants what is best for everyone, but when it comes to doing it, he puts his interest before everyone else’s. That creates conflict as every man seeks his own interest. If four people have one pie, they cannot all have all of it. God calls us to seek what is best for everyone.  True Christians and Jews recognize that and put God’s law before man’s law when the two conflict. Dictators fear true Christians and Jews because the dictator cannot force them to disobey God. There are many that believe they are Christians and Jews and may even attend church or synagogue, but when forced to choose, they choose to obey man and not God. Many who attended Christian churches supported Hitler when he came to power or at least stood by and did nothing when he exterminated the Jews, those who were crippled, and the mentally deficient, because they knew what Hitler would do to them if they opposed him. They put their own interest ahead of God’s law and preferred to play it safe.  Many Christians did choose to obey God and spoke out against Hitler, and Hitler put many of them in prison or killed them. Dictators may severely punish those who stand up for God, but God’s people know that the rewards in the end are well worth it.  The church today faces a similar choice. It can remain silent as it did in Germany, or it can choose to stand up for God.

President Biden has directed the federal bureaucracy to enable government employees to get around the State laws in States banning abortions by assisting them to travel to States that allow abortions. He is also pressuring State Medicaid providers to cover out of State abortions. That is a  open affront to the States. Medicaid is a State funded medical plan for welfare recipients in the State. Since it is State-funded, it is for the residents of that State. By pressuring them to cover abortions for non-residents, it is violating the laws governing the program. State residents should not have to pay for elective medical procedures for people from out of State and the federal government should not be telling the States how to run their programs. His intent is to enable residents of States that do not allow abortions to travel to States that allow abortions and still get their abortions paid for, so Planned Parenthood doesn’t lose money. If Planned Parenthood loses money, they will have less money to contribute to political campaigns for liberal politicians.

 

 

Sixth Sunday of Kingdomtide-Oct 9

Value of Children –In early history, children were prized because they were necessary for the preservation of the family or group. In fact, women (who produced children) and children were so prized that they were often kidnapped or taken as captives of war from neighboring groups. Over the years, they were often valued to help out on the farm and farm families had a lot of children. As cities have grown, the value of children has declined. At various times in history, they have lost their value and various means of aborting unwanted children or killing them after birth, were developed. However, at no time in history has it taken on the proportions it has today. Environmental activists seek to restrict the birthrate to preserve nature and groups like Planned Parenthood seek to restrict the birth of populations they don’t like, such as Blacks and Hispanics, and the poor. They look at whether they can contribute what they cost to maintain or will they restrict our opportunities?  We have no way of estimating what the future economic contribution of a child will be. Many non-White and poor White orphans have gone on to make great contributions, when given the opportunity and the education. Christians recognize that each person is created by God for a purpose and to take that life is to destroy God’s creation. Many individuals contribute a great deal that cannot be measured in dollars and cents and God created them regardless of their skin color and nationality.
