Why Are Unborn Babies So Evil?

And can we ever find it in our hearts to forgive them?

 

It is the Babies’ Fault, Punish Them, Abort Them!

From the very moment of fertilization/conception the unborn human being, the baby, seems to have no regard for the life of their mother or father. How inconsiderate of the baby to ignore the fact that their parents were too ignorant, too young, too poor, too ill-equipped, or too immature to provide even for themselves, let alone for a child. Afterall a child requires the full love and attention of loving, mature, moral, adult parents. The baby should have acted more responsibly and waited until the parents were ready, better prepared for parenthood before attempting enter the world.



Is There an Alternative to Execution?

Some folks contend that we cannot just kill the baby. You think? Indeed, can we ever forgive the baby? How, might you ask? Give the baby a reprieve, a much lighter sentence, than death? Maybe require that the baby be given the opportunity to be placed with a loving, maybe even an infertile, couple for adoption.

Is There a Better Solution?

In any case let’s warn, educate, and counsel young or older couples not to let emotions, irrationality, and irresponsibility rule the day and control their actions and lives. There are many ways to prevent unwanted pregnancy, of which monogamous marriage and natural birth control are God’s design and the responsible course of action. Abstaining (what?) from sexual intercourse IS the best practice prior to marriage. It prevents the baby from “ruining your life” as he or she is so intent and fond of doing.

Let Love Be the Ultimate Guide!

Yes, reason, logic, responsibility, unselfishness, true-caring love should guide couples through this wonderful God-given life.

Mansfield was Chosen


Premiere

The location of the world premiere of the faith-based movie Chosen (2021) was not California’s Hollywood last Saturday evening (11/13/2021), but Mansfield, Ohio. Crossroad Church on Park Avenue West hosted the event. The movie’s producer, several cast members and a large crowd were present for the first showing of Chosen. The crowd was very well dressed, there was even a sprinkling of formal evening gowns and tuxedos.

Producer

Jason Campbell, president of JCFilms, which produced the film, made some introductory remarks at the premier. Camp bell indicated that Chosen was one of 40 faith-based and family films his company has made. His desire in making these films “to change the culture for good.” He also indicated that another film was in the works and to be soon completed called Duplicate Divinity, which is also being filmed in Mansfield.

Production

Chosen was shot in Mansfield and even included several members of Crossroad’s staff, who were part of the cast, including the Lead Pastor Dave Vance and the Worship Arts Pastor Ernesto Alcantara. The movie stars Dean Cain, Kevin Sorbo, Heather Habura, and Eddie McClintock and will be released Fall of 2021. The film deals with adoption and foster care, which is a growing concern in America.

Plot

The movie is a multi-plot movie which follows the lives of several children, families and situations all involving either adoption of fostering of children. It is simultaneously entertaining, inspiring, and educational. One moment you are laughing and the next you become tearful. It is heartwarming and heart wrenching. Family is a theme and boy, does our society need to hear that today! Unfortunately, many kids are passed from home to home in the foster care system, some never really find their forever family.

Purpose

Chosen should empower and motivate people of faith, especially, increasing awareness, advocacy, and involvement of the plight of children in need of adoption and/or fostering. In Ohio nearly 16,000 children are being cared for in foster care every day. And that number is expected to increase as the number of foster parents declines. There has also been an increase in teen suicides.

Chosen highlights the beauty and potential of adoption and foster parenting, but it also shows challenges that many adoptive and foster parents face. The movie depicts how communities and people of faith can come together to help overcome these many challenges. In the movie Child Protective Services (CPS) is positively portrayed, which is far from reality, but it does show how CPS should operate ideally. There are a great many problems within the foster care system today – child trafficking, abuse, and exploitation. However, God-empowered Christians and churches can take back some of the spiritual ground that has been lost. Matthew 25:35 challenges us all, “For I was hungry, and you gave Me food; I was thirsty, and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger, and you took Me in;”

The JCFilm’s website states that more than making a film for entertainment, the company’s goal is to leave a lasting effect on the lives of those involved in adoption and foster parenting in Ohio and around the world. Campbell is quoted as saying, "We don't just want to make a film. We want to make a film that will change and benefit the lives of children… This is more than just a film; it is a movement to empower people of faith to get involved.”  Campbell has called the movie “a blueprint for what churches and communities can do to help” improve adoption and fostering of children.

“Realistically, not everyone can be a foster or adoptive parent, we get that. But everyone can give a helping hand,” Campbell remarked. “Thus, we are creating Ohio Helping Hands to follow the blueprints echoed in the film to help people find ways to support foster and adoptive families. Simply put, Ohio Helping Hands will provide parents and children in foster care or adoption situations with programs that promote safety, permanency, and community.”

Promotion

Watch for Chosen to come to a theater near you later this fall and buy a ticket to the movie, and/or buy the DVD. Visit the website, https://OhioHelpingHands.org, and see what the Lord would have you do.

What Democrats Want, Day 52, Countdown to Oblivion? ADOPTION


 
As of today, there are 52 days until the most consequential election in American history. This is what they say about many past elections, but this is really it. For if the Democrats seize power – control of the U.S. House, the U.S. Senate and the Presidency – and doing it by hook or by crook (the justifies the means, you know) America as we know it will be forever changed. America envisioned and created by the Founding Fathers will disappear into the shadows of history.
The ungodly secular-humanists/Marxists slow march through America’s institutions over the last 100 years or so will have reached a crescendo – fulfilling Mr. Obama’s fundamental transformation of America. Never again will the demonic Democratic Party relinquish its grip on political power and control of the masses.
Envision with me what a Socialist Democratic Party, takeover, a bloodless coup, a regime change, would look like. This is one in a series of daily articles leading up to the 2020 General Election

It seems today that no one stops to think of what is best for the child when it comes to things that affect them.
Democrats and Adoption
When it comes to adoption it seems to me the Democratic Party favors allowing and even encouraging that children be fostered or adopted by homosexual or lesbian households. In fact, in some states and locales some faith-based organizations have even been sued because as part of their placement policies would not place a child with two homosexuals or two females. This has caused some adoption agencies to go out of business rather than violate their core biblical and moral beliefs, policies and principles. The Democrats wholeheartedly support this approach.
Furthermore, Democrats stand for child abuse when it comes to permitting or forcing minor children to undergo impossible ‘gender altering’ therapy and body-mutilating surgeries, with or without parental approval. This is tyrannical.
Generally, this is not healthy or beneficial in the long term for a child. Optimally the best environment for a child to be raised in a home with a married biological male and biological female. Ideally for a child to develop and mature normally, they should have the influence of a mother and a father building into their lives. With same sex households this is not possible.
Faith-Based Adoption Agencies
Here a couple of excerpts from a 2018 Heritage Foundation article, “The Left’s Assault on Adoption”:  “Faith-based adoption agencies that follow their religious beliefs have a high level of success in placing older and disabled children… In Georgia, every Democrat in the state senate opposed a bill that would protect the ability of faith-based agencies to follow their belief that every child deserves a mom and a dad…Federal action that allows faith-based adoption agencies to operate according to their beliefs will keep kids first.”
Conclusion
Among the many reasons NOT to vote for ANY Democrat candidate is the Party’s position on insisting that there be no “discrimination” whatsoever by faith-based adoption agencies in placement of ANY child with same sex households. The Democratic Party does not support the uniqueness and necessity of nuclear or natural families (biological male father and a biological female mother married to each other) that is preferable to all other relationships. Instead of Comprehensive Sex Education, schools should be teaching and encouraging abstinence until marriage for the sake of the individual and society.

Life is the Only Real Choice

A local crisis pregnancy center held its annual fundraising banquet last night. The featured speaker was Kirk Walden. He said that abortion centers like Planned Parenthood offer girls and women only one basic choice. That choice is abortion. Abortion is their main product. Planned Parenthood deals death.
Crisis pregnancy centers, on the other hand, offer girls, women and men 5 choices:

1. Single parenting
2. Co-parenting
3. Marriage
4. Adoption
5. The truth about abortion & post-abortion recovery and healing.

"Target" Targeting Christian Adoption Agencies

The retail store Target is selling gay pride T-shirts with proceeds going to the Family Equality Council.  The FEC is trying to make it illegal for adoption agencies to prioritize placement of children into homes with both a mom and a dad so that gay couples will get more children.  Send Target a message by clicking here to sign a petition and boycott their stores.

Adoption not abortion!

A B O R T I O N



The Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch runs a regular feature in its newspaper identifying an important issue to the local community and asking the vote of the readers on that issue along with comments. Occasionally I will respond and comment on the issue raised, as I did to yesterday’s topic.

The Hot Issue:

Should more safeguards be placed on adoptions from foreign countries?

_X_ Yes
___ No

My Response:

The following is an unabridged version of my response to the question above.

Yes. But a real source of babies that is untapped is all of the babies being exterminated right now by abortionists throughout this land. On one hand there are people desperate to kill their babies, while on the other equally desperate people wanting to adopt. Stop abortions. Start adoptions domestic and foreign!

Pro-Life road trip in a growing Pro-Death culture

I had a day off on Tax Day and I took a trip to Findlay, Ohio in search of a Tea Party. Here are three signs that I saw along the way ...

This Pro-Life message is contrary to what we see and read in the Democrat-led government and in the government-sanctioned or sympathetic Leftist media, and what we find throughout pir public education system and in elitist academia, and even in many mainline churches today. Theirs is a Pro-Death message.
