Freedom to Kill Act

Barack Obama has promised to sign the Freedom of Choice to Kill Act. Anyone concerned with the rights of babies, parents, taxpayers and local governments should work to defeat this legislation.

FOCA Would Wipe Away Every Restriction on Abortion Nationwide

This would eradicate state and federal laws that the majority of Americans support, such as:

  • Bans on Partial Birth Abortion
  • Requirements that women be given information about the risks of getting an abortion
  • Only licensed physicians can perform abortions
  • Parents must be informed and give consent to their minor daughter’s abortion

Not All Women Are Stupid Or Liberal

I am always pleased to discover new blogs that apply Christian faith to issues in our culture. You will want to take a look at Flashpoint. It is the blog of Women of Faith in Culture. This article, by Executive Director Sarah Flashing is wonderful.

“We want to make sure that women have more rights than an egg!”

Obama Lies About Born-Alive Bill And Abortion

One of the big lies during the third debate came on the topic of abortion.  McCain said that Obama’s position on the issue is radical, including his repeated opposition to the Illinois version of the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act.  Obama responded this way:

There was a bill that was put forward before the Illinois Senate that said you have to provide lifesaving treatment and that would have helped to undermine Roe v. Wade. The fact is that there was already a law on the books in Illinois that required providing lifesaving treatment, which is why not only myself but pro-choice Republicans and Democrats voted against it.

NOW for Sarah Palin? – the evangelical outpost

Shelley Mandell, President of the L.A. Chapter of the National Organization for Women, heartily endorsed Sarah Palin at the October 4th rally in Carson, CA. (See the video) Elena, with the California NOW chapter, sent me an email reminding me that NOW has very clearly distanced itself from Ms. Mandell with a strongly worded statement in favor of Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

In fairness to Elena, she did help me find an article on the NOW website opposing the blatant sexism displayed toward Sarah Palin.

Thanks Elena.

Abortion And Obama

The National Right to Life Committee continues to challenge Barack Obama for his stance on abortion and his roll in the Illinois, Born-Alive Infants Protection Act. One should reasonably ask, “What did the BAIPA do?”

It established in black-letter law that for all legal purposes, any baby who was entirely expelled from his or her mother, and who showed any of the specified signs of life (breathes or has a beating heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles), was to be regarded as a legal person for however long he or she lived, and that this applied whether or not the birth was the result of an abortion or of spontaneous premature labor.

LA Times Asks About Beginning Of Life

This is a great article that you should take note of. I have dad some contact with the California chapter of NOW and it has encouraged me to write a series of post on abortion and the beginning of life.

Is Trig's Life Worth Living?

Down Syndrome babies need love

Michael Gerson wrote a moving article about the New Eugenics; killing babies that may be imperfect. He points out that Civil rights for women, blacks and other minorities have risen while protections for “defective” babies has fallen dismally.

The wrenching diagnosis of 47 chromosomes must seem to parents like the end of a dream instead of the beginning of a life. But children born with Down syndrome — who learn slowly but love deeply — are generally not experienced by their parents as a curse but as a complex blessing. And when allowed to survive, men and women with an extra chromosome experience themselves as people with abilities, limits and rights. Yet when Down syndrome is detected through testing, many parents report that genetic counselors and physicians emphasize the difficulties of raising a child with a disability and urge abortion.

Don't judge Gov. Palin's young daughter

Here is a really good article on how Christians should respond to the news that Gov. Palin’s daughter, Bristol, is pregnant.

Being pro life means we want young women to turn away from abortion. We want them to choose life for their babies. Being pro life means we accept the fact that young women (teenage girls) get pregnant when they are not married and/or not ready to have children and we help them make a good decision.

This should not become a political football. It should be an act of compassion for Bristol and her baby.
