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.

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.

Will Governor-elect Kasich be a Christie or Taft II?

Ohio's Governor-elect John Kasich


Former long-time U. S. Congressman John Kasich won his race for Governor of Ohio. That was the easy part, now comes the hard part, governing. I sure hope that he will follow New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's model rather than the soon to be former Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger's, failed model of spend and spend and spend.


THE BUDGET

If John Kasich governs anything like either of his two immediate predecessors, RINO Bob Taft or ultra liberal Ted Strickland Ohio will be in deep do-do. The grand prize for winning the governorship will be high privilege of trying to balance a budget of a state facing an 8 billion dollar shortfall. This will be his first major test. He will need to put all of his business and budgeting experience from his days in the U.S. House of Representatives to work.

Will he have the courage to say know to a hoard of stakeholders with their hand out demanding a piece of the shrinking state pie? Will he like Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey make the hard but correct decisions to reestablish fiscal responsibility? Will he be able to keep his campaign promises and attract employers and jobs for Ohioans?

I saw an article in the local newspaper today which reported that Kasich has already informed the current Governor of Ohio that he will not proceed with the building of the Three C railroad line connecting the three major cities in Ohio with a new railroad line. Good start, Mr. Kasich. That project was a foolish boondoggle. The train would travel at less than what a car can travel between those cities. Who would ride it? It would end up further draining the coffers of the impoverished state treasury. It might be a different scenario if that was a bullet train traveling at twice the speed of passenger traffic. Kasich is not even in office and he is already saving the state money!

I believe that Kasich will have a very difficult time, but he will stick to his conservative fiscal principles and will lead Ohio out of the funk that it has been in for the last few decades. I believe that he will be more like Gov. Christie than the recent Ohio governors. Best wishes, Mr. Kasich!

EDUCATION

When you get around to education, sir, I wish you would return the funding stripped out of the budget for Abstinence-based sex education and eliminate the amoral Planned Parenthood model of comprehensive sex education. And while you are at it I'd like to see you ramp up parental choice in education encouraging vouchers and any and all alternative to our failed government-run indoctrination centers.

Teenage Pregnancies

The Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch newspaper posed today’s Hot Issue: Do you think society has been too accepting of teenage pregnancy?

Comment: Yes. However we should really ask, “Why are there so many teenage pregnancies?” Why is virtue and abstinence-based sex education such a bane to the education elite?

I call it the Planned Parenthood Federation of America mentality. The secular humanists, which control our educational system, have seen fit to remove all moral absolutes, so long held in this nation, and replaced them for moral relativism and situational ethics. If it feels good do it. We are reaping the consequences what we have foolishly allowed to be sown in our grossly inept and inferior (when compared to other industrialized nations) government indoctrination centers.

But the alternative to teenage pregnancy, abortion, is much more abhorrent. Not in the eyes of Planned Parenthood which feeds on a culture of death, but in the eyes of moral persons everywhere.

Abstinence, virtue and morality are much more palatable, much more reasonable, much more beneficial to a free and God-honoring society, but they are apparently totally unacceptable under the secular humanist worldview.

The State of the American Culture

A Culture Corrupted

The Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch regularly asks its online readers questions, or some timely topic of the day. Usually the questions are inane. However, yesterday they had a serious and very poignant and critical question. Here is their question and my reply.



The Hot Issue: Do you think the country is moving in the right direction?

gregjaye: No. Absolutely not.

Ever since the 60s the country has taken an ominous turn leftward. Liberalism, secular humanism and Marxism now permeate our schools, churches, political parties, main stream media, and entertainment. Our country is regressing back to a time when pagan, savage Native Americans were worshipping nature, their ancestors, etc.

Environmentalist extremists, feminists and radical same-sex advocates along with their liberal elite brothers and sisters in academia, politics, business, government and religion have teamed up to push such leftist causes as the homosexual agenda, abortion (the right of women to murder their babies for any reason any time), protection of pornographers and moral relativism.

The radical left, with the aid of organizations like the contemptible and un-American American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) adamantly seeks to protect the free speech rights of child pornographers, but simultaneously and aggressively stifle anyone who tries to honor, or even acknowledge the person, Jesus, in public.

Surely this leftward turn, which is really a downward spiral or path or self-destruction, is not progress. The further we stray from the nation our founders built, the closer we are to extinction.

You can see the affect the leftward drift or shift of our culture on our schools and children most dramatically.

Our schools have borne the brunt, or have been the “beneficiaries” of this leftward slide or attack. Look at our failing schools, which have become virtual indoctrination centers for all of the vilest influences that could be foisted on a culture or on children. Here are some of the leftward trends or influences: the substitution of accepting all forms of immorality and condoms (Planned Parenthood philosophy) for virtue and abstinence in sex education (traditional family values); substituting moral relativism or situational ethics for absolute right and wrong; substituting worship of the creature and creation rather than the Creator; substituting a politically correct “tolerance” instead of respect for authority, discipline and standards; and substituting social engineering and experimentation for basic education needed to prepare our children for the high tech 21st century world.

Is there any wonder why some are calling for a mass exodus of students from government schools? Why some urge parents to find alternative ways to educate their children at home or in private schools? What true Chrsitian concerned parent, for instance, would want their child to attend a public school in California today?

Abstinence Education Begins at Home

GUEST ARTICLE

Christians Should Stop Begging the State to Teach 'Our' Children Morality

Monday, December 3, 2007

By Nathan Radcliffe

Since his election in 2006, Ohio's Democratic Governor Ted Strickland has been working to eliminate funding for abstinence education in state schools. In response, Christian organizations throughout the state have been urging citizens to write to the governor and ask him to reinstate this funding. In a recent email,for example, the Ohio Christian Alliance wrote "We want our children to be exposed to the truth that it is in their best interest -- physically, emotionally and spiritually -- to abstain from sex until marriage!"

My first thought upon reading this was, "Well then folks... They’re YOUR children, so TEACH THEM already!"

When Christians send their children away to humanistic government schools and allow the state to take their money through taxation to fund "education" we should not be surprised that these non-Christian bureaucrats want to teach immorality.

The solution is not to keep sending the children tithe humanist schools where they are being taught evolution, pluralism, and situational "ethics" and then BEG the bureaucrats to spend MORE money to teach morality on the side. What a waste of effort!

We're fighting the wrong battle here! The solution is to take God's children out of Satan's schools and separate the school from the state. That is, we should PRIVATIZE education! Let's demand that our elected representatives stop taking our money and spending it on "public education" - period! We cannot expect a humanist school system to effectively teach morality.

Check out the Alliance for the Separation of School and State to learn more.(http://www.schoolandstate.org/)

COMMENTS

The above article was posted with the permission of the author. Thank you Nathan for a great article.

Abstinence based sex education has proved to be effective in preventing pregnancy among teens. The condom-based sex education crowd lead by Planned (really preventing and destroying) Parenthood loathes any moral-based or virtue-based sex ed curriculum.

Abstinence should be taught at home, or if parents can send their children to a Christian school that would be great. However, as long as we are paying taxes, we should be voicing our preference for the teaching of abstinence in the government schools as well.

I wrote an
article yesterday about Rep. Scott Garrett's bill, the LEARN Act, that may be a part of the solution - to take education out of the hands of the federal government and to return complete control and accountability - to parents, to teachers to the local community . . .

Is Planned Parenthood Really ANTI-Choice?

For more than thirty years the perverse Planned (actually, more like PREVENTING) Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) s chanted its mantra of allowing abortion-on-demand, or a woman’s “right” or exclusive and limitless CHOICE to destroy, kill, exterminate her baby. PPFA claims it is constitution-derived right. It is not. It is a loathsome court-contrived “right.” PPFA and its pro-death comrades worship at the altar of CHOICE. They claim that any woman has the exclusive right to do whatever she wishes to “her body”. Pro-abortionists do not recognize the personhood of the baby. They do not recognize the uniqueness of the baby in the womb. They cannot, because do so would destroy the foundation upon CHOICE lie is built.

WHAT THE RADICAL LEFT WANTS

One reason that the sympathizing American Civil “Liberties” Union (ACLU) is so aggressive in doing all it can to remove the Ten Commandments from public view in the public square is because one of troublesome precepts is “Thou Shalt Not KILL.” What is abortion, but KILLING? Not only does abortion kill babies, it kills the conscience and the very soul of the individual as well as the “soul” of a nation.

As long as you agree with the politically correct thought of the radical leftist, things are okay. It is when you dare to go against the grain of their thinking or policy that all hell breaks loose, literally and figuratively. For so long the true American Christian and the Conservative has been apathetic, disengaged from the real-world cultural warfare and gone along with the flow to “get along” all the time patiently waiting and hoping that sufficient Knights in Shining Armor to stack the United States Supreme Court to reverse Roe v. Wade. We need to be shaken from our lethargy and adopt the persistent radically committed attitude that the radical left has used to procure its victories.

Here is one area in which we can begin to regain much lost ground in the cultural war, the funding of abstinence. The PPFA is not satisfied with getting 9 of the 10 dollars that the government provides for the sex education of our children. PPFA sex education is primarily condom-based and devoid of any moral, virtue or character component. It is entirely secular-humanist, even animalistic. On the other hand abstinence-based education assumes human beings are a step above base animals. Abstinence based sex education says that the best way to prevent sexually transmitted diseases, unwanted pregnancy and the dire consequence of promiscuously selfish sex is to wait for marriage, where sex can be fully and freely expressed giving ultimate physical, spiritual, emotional pleasure to the couple. One presupposition of abstinence-based sex education is the recognition that human beings are unique and not mere animals. For the true Christian there is also a recognition that we are made in the image of God and that our purpose is to bring God glory and honor. Promiscuous sex for the true Christian is an affront, insulting and dishonoring to the Creator.

WHAT AVERAGE AMERICAN PARENTS WANT


The majority of American parents agree that an abstinence-based approach to sex education for their children is best. Jane Jimenez in an article on OneNewsNow.com wrote that “If choice mattered, politicians funded by Planned Parenthood would listen to parents. And parents have clearly set out what they want for their children.” Jimenez also pointed out that a 2007 Zogby poll of parents of children age 10-16 showed the following:


...Nine out of 10 parents agree that being sexually abstinent is best for their child's health and future, with 8 in 10 strongly agreeing.


...Eight out of 10 parents think it's important for their child to wait until they're married to have sex, with 6 in 10 strongly agreeing.


...Eight out of 10 parents think sex education in public schools should place more emphasis on promoting abstinence vs. contraceptive use.


...Two out of three parents believe that promoting alternatives to intercourse (such as showering together and mutual masturbation, which are presented in some comprehensive programs) encourages sexual activity.


...Six out of 10 parents think more government funding should be given to abstinence education vs. comprehensive sex education. Only two out of 10 want more funding for comprehensive education.

Therefore, PPFA, the National Education Association and like-minded culture destroyers do not want to allow parental CHOICE. CHOICE to the proponents of a culture of death, destruction and corruption in this instance is not good. Jimenez concludes her article with this admonition, “July 1 (2007) is a watershed date. It is the line in the sand. It is the time when parents must finally take things into their own hands and demand that their (CHOICE) be heard. They must gather their voices and rattle the phones of the congressional representatives who are supposed to represent them.”

TAKE ACTION

Representative John Dingle (D-Michigan, the U. S. House of Representative Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman, wants to let Title V die, thus eliminating funding for abstinence education under this bill (Title V). Congress must hear immediately from we supporters of abstinence education. Please immediately contact your representatives in the House. Urge them to follow the lead of the Senate to extend funding for Title V at least through September 30. The Capitol Switchboard can connect you to your member of Congress: (202) 224-3121.

Abstinence Only


Ohio Democrat Governor Ted Strickland has only been in office for three months but he has inflicted damage on the citizens of Ohio. First, he did away with the school voucher program. Now the “Reverend” and gilded Governor shows his true liberal leftist colors by removing ALL $500,000 for abstinence-only sex education from his proposed state budget, which he presented to the legislature this week. In doing this he is telling Washington to keep your $23,000,000 federal abstinence-only sex education program funds.

This is quite insane. Governor Strickland is taking programs that work and because they do not fit his political agenda and because he must appease the lunatic elements of the far left including radical anti-American organizations such as the NARAL, National Organization of Women (NOW), the National Abortion Federation (NAF), Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) and the teacher unions and others.

Does the liberal Governor not understand that an ounce (or in this case, $500,000 + $23,000,000) of prevention is worth a pound (costs of abortion – babies lives and mothers guilt & shame as well as the 10 times the cost of prevention - $300,000,000 to care for the babies not aborted!) of cure?

Does this leftist Governor understand that the abstinence programs are working, that they are helping to reduce teen pregnancies significantly during the past ten years? In returning to the godless Planned Parenthood hedonistic condom-based sex education there will be a rise in abortions (Planned Parenthoods goal!) as well as increased babies to care for which will become welfare recipients (the Guv apparently doesn’t care or cannot make the connection.)

Wise up Governor Strickland and do the RIGHT thing. Stop playing politics. Stop sacrificing lives and money to advance the leftist-socialist cause. It is not worth it.

TAKE ACTION

Join me in writing and/or e-mailing the Governor, the leader of the state senate, Senator Bill Harris and the leader of the state House of Representatives, Representative Jon Husted to express your desire to see the abstinence-only funding included in this years budget.

Governor Ted Strickland, call 614-466-3555 or contact his office

Mixing Religion and Politics, Part 3: Teaching Children How to Commit Fornication is Wrong

This post was edited 5/12/07.

Part 1 link

Some Christians say that “safe” sex education is important because more and more teenagers are getting pregnant and contracting STDs at younger and younger ages. They do not want to teach abstinence only because that would “impose their faith” on others. Real Christians could never believe in making sinful, sexual suggestions to children. They will never believe in giving any advice about sin except to condemn it and to help bring people out of it. Romans 13:14 says, “Put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and MAKE NOT PROVISION FOR THE FLESH, TO FULFILL THE LUSTS THEREOF.” II Timothy 4:2, 3 says, “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but AFTER OWN LUSTS SHALL THEY HEAP TO THEMSELVES TEACHERS, having itching ears.”

This “safe” fornication education plants dirty, lustful thoughts into the minds of children. Sin should be treated like deadly poison and the minds of children should be treated as if they are the most precious, valuable, and vulnerable thing on the planet. “When lust has conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” (James 1:15) Therefore, there is no “safe” sin. If you imply that there is, then you are being deceitful even if you’re giving factual information. If it is true that teenagers are committing more murders at a younger and younger age, then should we instruct them at taxpayers’ expense as to how to kill in a way that would be less painful for their victims?

“But among you there must not be even a HINT of sexual immorality, or any kind impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Nor should there be obscenity…” (Ephesians 5:3, 4) “Have NOTHING TO DO with the fruitless DEEDS OF DARKNESS, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.” (Ephesians 5:11, 12) Ephesians 4:29 says, “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” The “safe” fornication advocates should have their mouths washed out with soap and water.

Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.” It sometimes seems like passages like this need not be in the Bible. Isn’t this obvious? Not to some people. They think that sometimes it’s better to train a child in the way he shouldn’t go. God had the foresight to see that Satan would twist their minds. Deuteronomy 18:9 says not to learn how to do wicked things.

A real Christian would never put a stumbling block in the way of a sinner. (Leviticus 19:14b) Not only do the false Christians corrupt their own children, but they arrogantly force this disgusting teaching on our children at our expense (through taxes). If someone causes a Christian child to sin, it would be better for that person to be thrown into the sea with a millstone around his neck. (Matthew 18:6-9) II Peter 2:14 says, “Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children”. II Peter 2:17-19 says, “These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they ALLURE THROUGH THE LUSTS OF THE FLESH, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. While THEY PROMISE THEM LIBERTY, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is HE BROUGHT IN BONDAGE.”

It does not matter whether the statistics show that this “safe sex” teaching “works”. Pregnancy and STD prevention are not worth the price of leading children down a path of sin. What an unholy bargain with the devil this is! No man can serve two masters: for either he will HATE the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and DESPISE the other. (Matthew 6:24) A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit. (Matthew 7:17) Some may say, “Teenagers are going have sex anyway, so we may as well reduce the suffering and negative economic impact of it.” But the Bible says, “So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view.” (II Corinthians 5:16) This passage, taken in context, shows the difference between someone who has only head knowledge of what the cross means and one who really believes it in his heart. “For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, NOT WITH FLESHLY WISDOM, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.” (II Corinthians 1:12)

Some people say that I am self-righteous for saying these things. What could be more SELF-righteous than saying, “I’m going to be a virgin until marriage, but I am going to teach children how NOT to be a virgin.”? Romans 1 says that “God gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves” because they know “the judgment of God, that they which commit such are worthy of death”.

They also say, “how dare you judge me?” (Matthew 7:1 says, “Judge not lest you be judged.”) I am not judging, but warning. If someone wants to warn me of something that I am doing that will cause me to go hell so that my soul will be saved, then they should by all means do so. I can take it. Judging means passing sentence on someone (compare verses 47 and 48 of John 12). Jesus said, “Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.” Putting filthy ideas into someone’s mind is passing a sentence on them. “For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” God will allow Satan to put filthy thoughts and sickening lustful urges into their flesh forever. “God is not mocked. For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7) Whatever deeds you have done, you will receive the same in your own body. (II Corinthians 5:10, Galatians 6:8)

There is, however, something that you should teach your children put on to protect themselves. It’s the armor of God. “For we wrestle NOT against FLESH and blood, but against PRICIPALITIES, against POWERS, against the RULERS of the darkness of THIS WORLD, against spiritual WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES.” (Ephesians 6:12)

To anyone reading this that claims to be a Christian and is still not convinced, I would say this:

How can you believe in suggesting to a child a way to commit a sin that Jesus Christ had to be beaten, whipped, and nailed to a cross for? Could you look a bloody, exhausted, battered Jesus in the eye and still say that this is the right thing to do? In order to be saved, you must believe in the simple, common sense idea that it is always good to teach good things, and always bad to teach bad things. Unless you change and become like a little child, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 18:3) “Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent, and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.” (James 1:21) “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,” (II Corinthians 6:17). “Whosoever is a friend of the world is the enemy of God…cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.” (James 4:4, 8)
In my next article, I will discuss why it is wrong to keep God out of schools.
