Don't get upset - the following video is not an actual demonstration of partial birth abortion (PBA); it is a gynecologist explaining to a classroom of adolescents the procedure, using a fake baby. Yet this alone caused my heart to race, my palms to sweat, and my eyes to tear as I realized what this murderous act entails.
Yesterday my family and I participated in the Walk for Life, this particular one being a peaceable and prayerful Christian protest against the evils of abortion, regardless of when it takes place (first, second, or third trimester). I am not a "political activist." But as I said, I believe abortion to be far more than a political issue; it is indeed a very personal issue - one for which we will all give an account. Hear the word of the Lord:
Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, "Behold, we did not know this," does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it, and will he not repay man according to his work?
- Proverbs 24:11-12 ESV
With election day fast approaching, make sure you know where political candidates stand on the issue of abortion. The President of the United States, in particular, has a tremendous amount of power and influence over this issue and how it is reflected in the laws of our land. So be informed, and vote your conscience.
One thing for certain is that I could not heed your request of, "dont get upset".
ReplyDeleteIt was'nt the simulated third trimester abortion that made my blood run coldest, although it angered me to the point of clinched white knuckles. It was the "above my paygrade" comment that did it. What kind of answer is that... a military one which he has no right to use in the first place, but a very curt I am not going to answer you response.
With all political views aside on taxes, laws, foreign policy etc. how can we as Christians, (which is too broad of a spectrum these days) apparently Obama calls himself as well, see this as anything other than MURDER? He is a supporter of it!
On the other hand it brought tears of joy to my eyes to hear McCain say "at the point of conception" and "pro life".
He may not hold all the theological views that I do but to hear an answer like this speaks volumes.
There are certain issues that should set candidates apart for Christians and this is one of them!
I am certain that our God is soveriegn and that he puts those in leadership that he wants there as Romans 13 assures us but also that we are not to adhere when we are asked to go against what God has commanded.
Our country has been turning its back on God for too long. As Christ loving, God fearing Christians we need to be bold and strong for the Glory of our God and the salvation of our unsaved neighbors, co-workers and friends!
Bring them to Him!
I was just remembering last night how blessed and thankful we are for our nearly 7 month old baby girl.
ReplyDeleteWhen Rebecca was still inside my wife, we used to have fun daily between 9:30 pm and 10:30 pm or so watching her move around. You could see her foot moving across my wife's stomach. Every now and then, Rebecca would get the hiccups. On ultrasounds, she would put her foot into her mouth.
I would sing to her, and calm her by saying..... "Oooooh".
The minute my baby girl was born, she was so curious, and was looking all around the delivery room. Then she got upset and unsure, and I calmed her by saying..... "Ooooooh". She recognized her Daddy's voice, and rested comfortably.
In Luke chapter one it says that when John the Baptist was a baby inside Elizabeth's womb, he leapt for joy when meeting Mary, carrying Jesus.
What a precious, precious gift babies are.
Thank you so much Pastor Matt for this message and U Tube displays.
ReplyDeleteThe video of the Partial Birth Abortion is the same demonstration that was given to the US House of Representatives and US Senate and ultimately convinced them that this practice (even in the eyes of the majority of the most liberal democrates in office)must be made illegal. It led to the passing of the Partial Birth Abortion Ban that President Bush signed into law.
With all my heart, I wish all Americans could see this and know that Obama fully supports this kind of murder and wants to remove the ban. I am sure that if this was made fully known (as well as Obama's intention to put a bill in effect that will require abortions that fail and babies that survive to be put to death), he would not have a chance of being elected.
I have had family members that have told me that I lie when I say that before the ban many babies were put to death by this method. They tell me, "Doctors wouldn't do that!"

You will be glad you did.
Thank you Pastor Matt for this TruthWalk. The Partial Birth Abortion demonstration was the same one that was done live for the US House of Representatives and US Senate which led a majority of even the most liberal minded congressmen and senators to acknowledge that this practice must be stopped. It led to the Partial Birth Abortion Ban which President Bush signed into law. Obama wants this ban to be overturned. I wish all Americans could see this video and know that voting for Obama means voting for this horrible procedure to be reinstated.
