"Abortion, Is it Essential or Nonessential" That Is THE Question

Students for Life a key organization supporting the Life issue across this country working primarily with schools and universitis.  In light of the COVID-19 virus crisis they posted on Facebook the following:

Students for Life of America

· Yesterday ·

During the coronavirus pandemic, some states are referring to abortion services as "essential." How is your state handling this situation?

Learn more about this map and our findings at https://studentsforlife.org/2020/03/26/does-your-state-consider-abortion-essential/

Contact your governor now to tell them that abortion is not an essential service: https://studentsforlife.quorum.us/campaign/25304/

Along with their post they also provide a map identifying how states are treating abortion providers as  essential or as non essential or neither. 

Ordering Ohio's abortion providers to shut down in determining that elective abortions are nonessential and then enforcing that order are two very different things.

One reason behind the order in the first place was to preserve the masks, gloves and other personal protective equipment (PPE's) used by those facilities such as hospitals that provide elective surgeries. Another reason may be that the authorities wanted to prevent the unnecessary spread of the coronavirus.

In the above map Ohio should be red. Why? Because, as I understand it, Planned Parenthood in Columbus (on East Main) and Preterm in Cleveland and Women Med Center in Dayton all are defiantly open and still murdering babies per usual. Apparently they have special privileges or a special status in Ohio? These providers seem to be dictating to the authorities, not obeying them.

Ohio's Governor, Mike DeWine (D?-OH) and Ohio Health Department Director pro-abortion Dr. Amy Acton, an appointee of DeWine, and Attorney General Dave Yost (R-OH)  either didn't mean to include abortion businesses as nonessential, or are afraid of Big Abortion, or are totally apathetic, or are intentionally ignoring their orders or are concurring with the violators.

See the Students for Life post above for actions that can be taken to urge Ohio's Governor to do his job and shut down these lawless abusers of life and limb.

CONCLUSION

Abortion is NOT essential. Abortion is not healthcare, Abortion, we are told is a choice. Choice implies an election.

All Human Life is essential, and nearly every abortion is beyond nonessential it is the termination, the murder, of innocent Human Life!

Help to #StopTheSpread of the COVID-19 virus enforce the closing down ALL nonessential surgeries. How about some #EqualJusticeForAll? What a CONcept!

Face Off at a Far-Left Liberal College

On George Washington’s birthday Saturday over a dozen Christian patriots, concerned about the welfare of children, showed up near Middle Path on the campus of the (very) liberal Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio just east of Mount Vernon, Ohio. We were there to bring attention to a series of events that were occurring at Kenyon’s Gund Gallery.

When we first arrived on campus, we were met by an earnest campus security officer who warned us not to tread on Middle Path, which is the main campus apparently walkway through campus property. He directed us across the street to the corner coffee shop, which he said was under the jurisdiction of the city of Gambier. So, that is where we stood holding signs, passing out literature and engaging students and passers-by. 

Some Call It Enlightenment When it is Insanity

From the coffeeshop corner sidewalk you could see the Gund Gallery and sadly follow families with young children exiting walking a safe distance from the “deplorable, hateful, bigoted, transphobic” protesters.

Saturday the Gallery was offering a chilling “Children's Storytime: Transgender Acceptance and Understanding,” which is part of their monthly “Storytime offers craft making and book readings meant to address a range of LGBTQ+ issues. In a recent article (2/20/2020) by Grant Holt in Kenyon Collegian, Mr. Holt remarks about a previous LGBT program earlier this month,  

“Currently, Storytime is a complement to the Gallery’s ongoing Axis Mundo: Queer Networks in Chicano L.A. exhibit. The books chosen were Be Who You Are by Todd Parr and They, She, He Easy as ABC by Maya Christina Gonzalez. The books taught children to be proud of who they are and how to use inclusive pronouns.” 

The books read this past Saturday to the very young and impressionable children are books glorying gender dysphoric (a mental illness) boys pretending to be girls,  I Am Jazz and Julian is a Mermaid.”

One physician commented that the I Am Jazz book and reality TV show were riddled with inaccuracies. Julian is a Mermaid is a picture book about a boy who sees himself as a mermaid after watching three beautiful women while riding home on a subway with his grandmother. 

These books are neither harmless nor safe for developing children’s hearts and minds. Transgender behavior is not normal. Most children, if they have those behaviors (boys liking dolls or girl liking to play with trucks) grow out of those behaviors naturally. 

Gender dysphoria or transgenderism should not be affirmed but treated with good counseling. It is a serious mental illness, which unfortunately has been ignored and/or affirmed by some in the medical profession and seen as a money-making opportunity, by educators and big business as a way of appeasing LGBT bullies and agenda-driven teacher unions, and even by a pandering national political party (Democrat). 

Furthermore, experimental puberty blockers and cross sex hormone therapies and barbaric physical mutilation of body parts are physically damaging and have life-long mental, emotional and physical repercussions. This is the real dangerous Conversion Therapy, which under that same name is so maligned when offered to persons wanting to shun their homosexual tendencies or past sexual abuse. 

Not Too Hospitable

The best way to describe many of the students we met is that they were extremely Progressive, well Indoctrinated with secular-humanist, atheist philosophy “taught” by probably by radical professors. One might describe them as “snowflake socialist zombies,” as they regurgitate what their professors have taught. Several students claimed to have been brought up as “Christians” and even some said they have read the Bible. 

Refusing to shake the hand of Pastor Dunfee when offered to the person connected to the school implying he was speaking for the college and community said, “We don’t want you here.”

Sadly, he and most of those we interacted with would not listen to what was being said. The hearts of the students were hardened to truth. The truth we were bringing was that transgenderism is a confused mental condition. Exposing children to the LGBT ideology and confuses young developing minds. To have these stories read to children is child abuse.

What Can Be Done?

What we saw on campus Saturday should awaken Ohioans and all Americans to the urgency of the upcoming Primary and November General Elections. We need to elect representatives who will stop funding any and all gender rebellion. In fact, last week there was a bill that has introduced in the Ohio House of Representatives, House Bill 513, “The Vulnerable Child Protection Act,” sponsored by Rep. Ron Hood. This bill would BAN so-called gender change treatments on minor children. The purpose of the bill is to stop the practice of prescribing drug to prevent puberty, opposite sex-hormones and harmful body-mutilating surgeries. Urge your representative to sponsor and support this critically important bill.

Another necessary bill is Ohio House Bill 180 (HB180) which would “Prohibit performance in which child simulates sexual activity.” This bill would ban the performance by children in adult bars. Such as the story of the 9-year-old drag queen who performed for money in a Lancaster, Ohio bar.(3)

An extremely egregious proposed law in Ohio (HB 369  and SB11) mislabeled the Ohio Fairness Act would require public bathrooms to be open to both sexes, allowing men to enter women’s bathroom if they “identify” as women (an impossibility). It would also take away parental rights is a child claims he or she identifies as the opposite sex. It will allow discrimination of religious beliefs. The Equality Act (HB5) passed the Pelosi-led U.S. House of Representatives and sits in the U.S. Senate, hopefully dying there.

Please contact your representatives and senators and urge them to vote to protect children and religious freedom.

What saw on campus Saturday should awaken parents, who are spending exorbitant amounts of money for paying radical professions to indoctrinate and by removing all vestiges of any wholesome Christian upbringing to stop supporting those schools. Colleges betray any trust parents may have put in them to provide a well-rounded education. Instead Kenyon and most colleges, as demonstrated by the socialist minded snowflakes being graduated does not bode well for this nations’ future.

Stop Child Abusing Gender Trafficking

We are somewhat familiar with the widespread scourge of sex-trafficking in Ohio, America, and throughout the world. Well there is an equally insidious, cruel, inhumane, harmful and dangerous trafficking of a different sort. It is making great headway in America and even has the support of many in the medical system, education and legal professions. That great injustice is so-called gender change.

Linda Harvey on her excellent Columbus, Ohio based Mission America Radio Show reported on Thursday, 2.20.2020, that a new bill has been introduced in the Ohio House of Representatives. The “Vulnerable Child Protection Act,” BANS so-called gender change treatments on minor children. The purpose of the bill is to stop the practice of prescribing drugs to PREVENT puberty, opposite sex-hormones and harmful surgeries performed on healthy bodies. These treatments are routinely recommended for CONFUSED children.

Some of the hospitals complicit with these horrific and life-altering child-abusive therapies and procedures are Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, hospitals and clinics in Cleveland, Akron, Toledo and Dayton.

Harvey says, “These procedures are being done to do the impossible – to changes a person’s gender from female to male and from male to female. This can NEVER be accomplished. A person’s gender is STAMPED into one’s DNA throughout the body…

“This bill … prohibits on any person under the age of 18 surgeries like mastectomies, castration, and hysterectomies in an IMPOSSIBLE attempt to change the person’s sex. It prohibits the use of medications to block the NATURAL function of puberty so critical to normal, healthy human development.”

“It is time to blow the whistle on the MEDICAL SCANDAL and to give parents and families the commonsense answers they need.”

Harvey quoted one parent, who spoke at a recent Citizens for Community Values (CCV) press conference, and who talked about the difficulties parents face as a result of irresponsible medical advice provided to their children sometimes even WITHOUT parental consent.

‘Our children are being told that their bodies are WRONG. These parents here today are suffering… and are heartbroken by the results of an AFFIRMATION-ONLY policy imposed by our medical system. This approach has hijacked FACTS and SCIENCE resulting in a deep broken trust.

“We are here to tell the CULT leaders in Ohio – the GENDER-TRAFFICKERS, such as the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), ACLU, PFLAG, Pure Romance, Planned Parenthood, Equality Ohio, and every trans lobby in Ohio that their statement are LIES to perpetuate medical fraud.”

CALL TO ACTION - If you support this no-nonsense, commonsense bill, then please contact your Ohio State Representatives and tell them do all they can to insure passage of the “Vulnerable Child Protection Act.”

Abortion is Murder, Fact or Fiction (Opinion)?

Recently I had an online conversation on Facebook with a person who differed with me about the injustice of abortion.

They declared, “Actually, to say abortion is murder is AN OPINION.  Whether to obtain an abortion or not is a difficult decision. Is it better to trade off then? Do you know how many women died in back alley abortions before it was legal and then died from complications? Are those women any less worthy of life? Why can't you let these decisions be between these people and their maker? 

My response:  First, abortion is NOT health care by any stretch of the imagination. Abortion in fact and in 99.9% of the cases abortion is unnecessary and is, in fact, murder. It is not an opinion, but fact and the truth. What else do you can the termination of human life at any point in a human’s lifecycle be considered? Choice, I don’t think so.

The abortion industry lied about the number of “back alley” abortions in the ‘60s and ‘70s. The figure is exaggerated. Would you legalize theft because some innocent people get beaten to death in a robbery? A crime (evil, injustice) is and will always be a crime (evil, injustice) whether the courts or legislatures declare it be or not.

Everyone is worthy of life. It is extremely rare that a woman’s actual physical life is ever in jeopardy necessitating an abortion. That is another lie perpetrated by the wicked, greedy, abortion industry and its advocates.

Abortionists and supporters of abortion most often to not recognize the Creator of life. Therefore in many cases their “maker” is actually themselves or the god of convenience or the. god of pleasure.

Pepsi, Sabra and Starbucks, I Won’t Buy It

SELLING IMMORALITY

Are you as sick of multi-national corporations and corporate America, the Pepsis, the Sabras, the Starbucks who team up with LGBT movement, Hollywood, Academia and the Democrat Party and others in promoting and in polluting the airwaves and society with sexual immorality in all its malignant manifestations? I am.

Pepsi, which used to be my drink of choice if I had to choose between Coke and Pepsi, that is, sponsored the half-time show of the Super-Bore. Two chicks did everything but strip around a pole meant to simulate a local raunchy “gentlemen’s” club performance. They apparently succeed in accomplishing what they set out to do.

Beside preferring an ad about two freakish drag queens hawking hummus at half-time to a respectful commercial promoting the sanctity of life as Fox did during the not-so Super-Bore football game., now here comes coffee mega Starbucks.

TRANSGENDER, PRETENDER

I am assuming here, for discussion purposes that a “trans boy” in the Starbucks' commercial  is a born-biological girl.

Here are some comments about this blatant attempt at propagandizing America to normalizing gender dysphoria as natural instead of what it really is, a serious mental disorder. Unfortunately, there are many who are going along with the rouge, even doctors who benefit financially from this lie, and the LGBT advocates who advance their destructive agenda…

Touched, yes. Touching? No way.

"Scientific advancement?" Hah! “Adorable?” Nah!

It is regressive. It is revolting. It is hideous. It is unnatural. It is abnormal. Above all, it is the creation thumbing her nose at the Creator.

It is feelings-based it is neither logic-, reason-, science-, man-, nor nature-based.

But it is pure fantasy based. She will never be a male.

America needs to wake up to this contrived idiocy and stand up to the perpetuators of this deadly lie, that a person can change their sex or gender. Do it for the sake of would-be mutilated and destroyed children.

Will President Trump Use His SOTU Address to Apologize?

B.J. Edwards, on his Last Call Radio Show this past Saturday (1^st Hour, 2-1-2020), offers a brilliant tongue-in-cheek suggestion for President Trump to use in his Tuesday night State of the Union message:

“On the heels of the impending impeachment vote (Wednesday) and in Tuesday night’s State of the Union (SOTU) address, I think that President Trump ought to officially apologize, not just to Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, or for that matter the entire U.S. Congress. He should apologize for what he has obviously done to this country. He should start apologizing …

Ø  “For helping to restore our economy to include reducing government regulations (making it easier for businesses to compete globally and domestically).

Ø  “For calling climate change what it is, a hoax!

Ø  “For helping to restore dignity to the United States as a nation among others first for NOT apologizing for the USA as a nation (as did his immediate predecessor)

Ø  “For signing a Russian sanction bill

Ø  “For attending the 2020 March for Life in Washington, D.C., the first President to do so.

Ø  “For revealing just how corrupt and ineffective our Deep State government has become

Ø  “For calling out partisan politicians asking for justice and righteousness not only for in our Deep State but in other nations, say like Ukraine.

Ø  “For keeping CNN in business and late-night talk show hosts on the air.

Ø  “For giving U.S. citizens a sorely needed tax cut.

Ø  “For calling out the press for the sycophant and biased reporting, #FakeNews.

Ø  “For building that wall … (against all odds, objections, and obstacles of the Democrat resistance and the #NeverTrumpers every step of the way).

Ø  “For appointing a record number of conservative judges to the bench

Ø  “For increasing minorities’ opportunities in business, in education and in general.

Ø  “For calling out the church. “Where is the church?” He says.

Ø  “For giving peace a chance throughout the world and taking a leadership role in that effort.

“And finally, and most importantly he should apologize …

Ø  “For getting the citizens of America not just a tax cut, but a good look at our government, and ourselves, and how far we have fallen as a nation of by and for the people!”

I would add the following to the list of things Mr. Trump should “apologize” …

Ø  For restoring the Hyde Amendment preventing taxpayer funds from being used for abortions overseas.

Ø  For ending recruitment of gender dysphoric for our military and for ending new gender reassignment treatments and surgeries in the military.

Wow, what “terrible” job this President has done, no wonder the Democratic (Marxist Lite) Party “leadership” has pulled out all stops to block him in his every effort to Make America Great Again. They tried every dirty trick in their playbook and then some. Despite it all he has plowed ahead and has accomplished a great deal. Not everything, but an awful lot.

President Trump’s anticipated “apologies” noted above would be quite a contrast with the apologies and attitude of Mr. Obama who started his presidency by apologizing for America. Obama also told entrepreneurs and businessmen in America that they didn’t build their businesses. Obama also claimed that America would never recover its lost manufacturing.

Diversity and tolerance can be divisive

During a conversation on Facebook the following statement was made in a discussion about drag queens, such as the freakish appearance of someone by the name of Billy Porter on the children's show Sesame Street.

 Exposing to diversity is always a good thing. This can start some good dialogue for kids.

Here is my response to the above statement to the person who made this comment.

No, sir. Diversity is NOT always a good thing.

In fact, if so-called diversity exposes children to gender confused (mentally disturbed), freakish drag queens, transvestites, pedophiles, child molesters, aberrant sexual educators, racists (black or white) or radical Muslims as some children are being exposed to, it is wrong, it is harmful, it is evil.  

Diversity can be divisive, it divides. 

Children should be exposed to and encouraged to assimilate into the American culture. The things that unite us should be emphasized. The opposite is happening in our failing public schools due the radicalized teacher unions and "enlightened" elitist led education associations.

Having a proper understanding and appreciation of one's own culture is first and foremost. Secondarily an understanding and appreciation of other cultures and people groups is also worthwhile as long as is not used to indoctrinate or propagandize certain behaviors or philosophies antithetical to ones own culture.

Blind Eyes Opened (2020), Pornography, Sex-Trafficking and Abortion

“To open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness.” (Isaiah 42:7)

The eyes of much of the general public and most church people are blind to the existence of slavery in the world today. We are blinded to the extent sex-trafficking is occurring right under our noses today in the good ole U.S.A. The fact is that there are 27 million slaves worldwide today, with some being shackled, abused and used right here in America.

Blind Eyes Opened is a 90-minute movie documentary 5 years in the making about sex-trafficking in the U.S.A. It was shown in 800 theaters on Thursday, January 23, 2020 only.

I was disappointed in seeing only a smattering of people attending the Mansfield area theater last night. Sadly, the theater was at most 1/3 full. I guess many were unaware of the movie showing, were apathetic, or had more important things to do such as watching the sham impeachment proceedings on TV. The church was mostly invisible as usual when it comes to the critical social issues of the day. I guess most of us don’t want to think about the unpleasant aspects of reality.

SIX EX-TRAFFICKED WOMEN

This movie revolves around the testimonies of six women who, themselves, were trafficked when they were just girls. Some were sold for sex by their parents, some by relatives, some by boys or men who befriended them and later prostituted them.

Sex-trafficking is, indeed, an ugly reality.

The following are just some of the highlights gleaned from the movie.

·         The fatherless home is a serious problem in America. Children seek out the love denied by absent fathers and look to whoever may provide any affection or concern.

·         Middle School aged children as young as 9, 10, 11- are victims of sex traffickers.

·         11 to 14-year-old girls and boys are both sought by sex-traffickers. The ratio is 15% to 85% boys to girls trafficked.

RECRUITING

The movie identifies three types of traffickers: Romeos, guerillas, and professionals. Most people think it is the guerillas who grab or kidnap victims. But what is more prevalent is the young man or adult who befriends the child and grooms her or him over a period of time, then enslaves them using drugs, physical violence and/or threats to family members. The professional lurks in shopping malls or areas where vulnerable, lone girls may be befriended and/or grabbed.

Social media is increasingly being used to search and stalk vulnerable kids as well. Traffickers may study the friends of a targeted child and try to get to know as much as possible about the victim, then make contact with them, entice them with gifts, befriending them.

RUNAWAYS

Children living in real or perceived abusive homes or in foster home situations who may feel homeless seek escape. Sex-traffickers target these young girls traveling alone on bus, train or plane.

STOCKHOLM SYNDROME

Pitifully, some captives of sex traffickers are so beaten up and beaten down they still look at their pimp in a favorable light. No one else cares.

"Stockholm syndrome is a condition in which hostages develop a psychological alliance with their captors during captivity. Emotional bonds may be formed, between captor and captives, during intimate time together, but these are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims." Source: Wikipedia

Stockholm syndrome is one reason that the victims of traffickers do not run from their masters or even try to protect them when the girl is arrested.

SUICIDE

The life of the captive is often short-lived. Suicide is a way out for many as the only escape form the horrors and the guilt.

CAUSES AND PREVENTION

Pornography

One solution is to clamp down on the widespread availability and use of pornography by men, women, and even younger and younger children. Shockingly, the movie noted that young people are exposed to porn on the average at 11 years of age. Parents should closely monitor social media and use online devices. The Internet, smartphones, tablets and computers can lead be cesspools of material feeding man’s lower nature leading people astray.

Porn is a gateway taking a person from a fantasy world of self-gratification to the real world of exploiting children to fulfill one’s lustful desires.

Fatherless Homes

As stated earlier, fatherless home and lack of a positive role model often causes children to seek that attention, affection, and “love” from other scrupulous sources.

Eliminating no-fault divorce laws would make it harder for families to be torn asunder.

Crime and Punishment

Something that was not discussed in the movie is making males accountable by increasing penalties fathering children and trying to walk away unscathed. Perhaps making the father financially responsible for the child. Giving the father a choice of either providing financially for his child for eighteen years or being incarcerated for that same length of time.

Decreasing the demand for young children for sex is a high priority. Instead of treating the prostituted girl or woman as the criminal. The real punishment should be focused on the pimps, the johns the person who buy and sell their “products.” Can you believe that besides 17 counties in Nevada, where prostitution is legalized, seven states in the Northeast want to legalize prostitution. This would make catching sex-traffickers even more difficult. It would make identifying and freeing the sex slaves even more difficult.  

Interfacing with the Health Care System

88% of all sex-trafficked victims at some point interface with medical system. Either their pimps or the john (customers) hurt them. Therefore, the medical system needs increased training on how to identify, to report, or just what to do when faced with an apparent victim of abuse. A dislocated jaw, a black eye, a broken bone in a young person or a young woman must be better scrutinized.

Education

Schools must include some discussion or track of instruction in the dangers of sex traffickers to make students aware that sex traffickers are after them exists. How to identify, how to report, and what to do when faced with a potential trafficking situation should be included in Middle and High School curriculum. Being fully aware of sex-trafficking is the really bullying that should be emphasized in our public schools.

ABORTION

There is a tie, an unwritten alliance between the sex-traffickers, part of the billion-dollar sex industry and the equally sizable abortion industry.

Some trafficked girls/women have multiple abortions because they are “useless” to the pimp when they are pregnant and having a child would put a crimp on the business, a barrier to overcome. So, the pimp takes, forcefully or otherwise his sex-slave to the abortion mill. In other words, murder the human life growing in the mother, to get rid of the “problem.”

Live Action and other anti-abortion groups have pointed out this grotesque alliance and practice, but it is virtually ignored by the #FakeNews media, dismissed by the politicians and ignored by the clergy, lied about and denied by Planned Parenthood. In other words, it hidden from the general public for the most part.

Part of the abortion industries profits come from illegal sources such as revenues from pimps’ prostitutes. Statutory rapes of under-aged girls are more prevalent than admitted.

CONCLUSION

Most of the six women shown in the movie are now serving in various ministries or organizations helping girls and women who have come out of the same underworld to which they were once condemned.

Churches can address this hugely ignored injustice. How? By getting a copy of the movie’s DVD, which will be available shortly. A 7-week study guide to the movie will also become available for small group study in churches and elsewhere.

Making everyone aware of the problem and providing ways to identify signs of sex trafficking and having the courage to report any suspected abuse would go a long way in stopping this atrocity.

My eyes have been opened to the seriousness and the pervasiveness of this issue. Shared Hope International and other likeminded ministries and groups are worthy of support. I will engage my state and federal congressional representative to sponsor and support laws that will bring about an end to sex trafficking in the U.S.A. and elsewhere.
