Sex-selective Abortions

Earlier this week, in Sweden, health authorities ruled that gender based abortions are a legal and legitimate practice. A woman, who already had two daughters, requested to know the gender of her pending pregnancy. Six days after it was revealed that she was carrying a girl inside her womb, she had her extracted and terminated, aborted. I wonder how many childless parents out there might have loved to raise that baby.

Doctors at the Malaren Hospital, where the procedure was performed, were concerned with the woman's request, but the board responded that up until the 18^th week, abortions cannot be denied. What exactly it is that transpires at the 19^th week, that makes that child anymore valuable, is a mystery to me.

Throughout history, sex-selective abortions have been evident, mostly in societies which the males role is pivotal to that cultures tradition or survival. Usually the female would be forced to deliver the child, to recognize its gender, before destroying it. Thanks to modern day sonography and amniocentesis, the babies sex can be revealed long before then, making its disposal a minimal procedure.

For people like myself, who are repulsed and saddened to learn of an aborted baby for any reason, sex-selective abortion seems more concerning. The simple reason is, the mother, undoubtedly wants a child, she believes that what she is carrying is viable, its just the wrong gender. This seems far more callus than the woman who has no intention of giving birth. But then, isn't that the viable gestation argument, what's the difference between the 18^th and 19^th week?

I do not believe, for one moment, that gender will be the only cause for termination, as the wonders of science advance, so does our moral responsibility. Soon infants will be destroyed in the search for genetic perfection, and all its potential. Height, beauty, color, IQ, immunity, strength, what's to quell the thirst to design a super human? Sex-selective abortion is infanticide.

Let us pretend that this isn't a looming prospect for the Obama administration, let us suspend belief and argue that America would never agree to let that happen. Of course they will, just not under such a blatantly obvious name. Within the near future, and in spite of the bias main stream media, we will begin to realize that women are not going to carry unwanted genders to term. Thus, the search for the perfect offspring has begun, if it hasn't already.

Christian is as Christian does....

There is little doubt as to America's feelings of disappointment and frustration when observing our economic distress. Many of us feel the pains of depression every morning at the gas pump, or as we stay at home on that beautiful 80 degree day.

Barack Obama, to many, is the only viable solution for our financial discourse, for that matter, Obama's change mantra is touted as a cure all from social disparity to international policy and that may be. The fact that John Mccain's policy's are vastly different from George Bush's, accept in an Obama diatribe, doesn't matter.

Well for me and my fellow Christians out there, it matters. During the next presidential term, supreme court justices will be appointed. John Mccain is on the record as saying he hopes to see Roe v. Wade overturned, while Mr. Obama enthusiastically vows, "I made it equally clear that I will never back down from making sure that women have their reproductive rights here in this country -- that's what's at stake in this election."

“Reproductive rights” is a horribly misleading term, it makes it sound as if the argument is ones choice to reproduce, instead of ones accountability for ones choice. Abortion, is an atrocious reprehensible method for literally killing millions of innocent pre born babies, of which more than 40% can survive out of the womb at time of termination. This is a sin.

Mr. Obama has a 100% rating from planned parenthood. Planned parenthood battles for the abortion of any kind and at any term, they even debated avidly for abortions on teens without parental consent. If not for the disheartening research I have done, I would never,ever, believe the lengths planned parenthood will subject the pre born to. The most devastating of all is partial birth abortions, a baby is extracted almost completely from the female , late in her pregnancy, and to put it mildly, they are killed!

What if......

What if... part two

And just what if this refreshing young face, powered by the media and the wealthy elite hiding in the shadows, erected a local and federal law enforcement unit that mascaraed as

a counter terror agency, but soon evolved into a civil disobedience force. These enforcers would monitor local churches, anything they viewed as hate speech coming from the pulpit would result in mass arrest.

The fairness doctrine would be enacted and then all our radio shows would be monitored, making sure that any opinion that opposed the new central government or its policies was immediately “corrected” by on air diatribe, in a ruse to keep OPINIONS fair. For every limited government conservative, the new European style leader would counter with a liberal Marxist opinion. This would balance any anti-establishment sentiment.

Abortions for under age teen mothers would be deemed a matter between them and their new surrogate parent, the state, disregarding parents from the equation. Abortion companies like Planned Parent Hood, soon advertise weekly termination specials. The government will give 1500 hundred dollars for any pre or post birth abortion, that will keep population regulated, thus keeping our environment cleaner and “greener”.

Special monetary reward will be given to those with their new found patriotism, that leads to the arrest of those who might deviate from our police state and defy its propaganda.

( more in depth in part three )

The heat in our homes will be regulated to 65 degrees. Money for groceries will no longer be needed, as the new President Obama will mail out vouchers with the determined amount of food and toiletry a family will be allowed to receive, according to its size and contribution to the government.

Employment will be made available and distributed to all, like it or not. Wages will be determined on social status, with no room for advancement, equal salaries, and a mandated amount of days worked or face a fine thats proceeds will be donated directly to the state.

Stay tuned for part three of

what if.....

It gets shocking..... SevenS

When life begins...

When does life begin? That is very uncomplicated, life begins when the we start growing. We as Christians need to respect all life, protecting the most feeble. If at conception life did not begin, then why would there be any moral dilemma, when considering whether to terminate? If for one second, we feel reservations, it is for a reason. If there is any hesitation, then there is doubt, if there is doubt, why not error on the side of caution.

My pastor recently proposed the idea that if abortion were to be made illegal, desperate women would resort to back ally abortions, risking injury. In what other in stance does society afford a murderer a well payed doctor to assist their deed? That what abortion is, it is the murder of a being.

The worth of life cannot be dictated by the living beings capacity of cognitive thought. If it is, who decides what level of awareness validates a life that is worth protecting. Should Kieth Oberman be worried?

Religious or Christian?

There is a striking difference between being religious and professing to be a Christian. I would like to use a political analogy to amplify this difference, because I think it is very important to discern, the two. Being religious can be equated to presidential hopeful Barack Obama, he claims to have spiritual faith, although I've yet to hear him reference Christ the lord. Mr. Obama, by all accounts is very religious, he has patronized one of the top Christian churches in America, Trinity United church.... Oh, of Christ.

Although they are not much for praising the word of Jesus, they do have a fondness for Muslim radical Louis Farrakhan. Farrakhan has brought us such uplifting sermons such as kill whitey and America should die, I am paraphrasing of course. The Trinity United is commonly referred to as a black church, I've see the outside of it and I'm miffed as to that reference. Any who, Mr. Obama avidly supports the termination of an inconvenient fetus, him too? I am quite certain Christ would not call an unwanted pregnancy a punishment.

Barack Obama is very religious but, I am sure he is not a Christian. The whole premise for being a Christian is the idea you strive to be Christ-like. There are beautiful multi million dollar churches that organize services to pray to their higher power, but unless that power is Jesus, you'd only be religious. Some religious people even claim to be Christians, but like Barack Obama, they subscribe to a few things that wouldn't be labeled "Christ like" Such as homosexual marriage, abortion, racism, discrimination, and stuff like that. Another good example of religion is Alcoholics Annonomys, they pray to a "higher power" they don't want to specify the Christian religion anymore because it might alienate some one trying to get sober. Heaven forbid they find out the serenity prayer is from the bible and the twelve steps are built by beliefs in the bible, shh I won't tell anybody.

There is nothing wrong with being religious, I mean yes, there is no consolation prize for almost believing in Christ. And yes, you have the chance of an atheist to get into heaven, but don't sweat it you'll be politically correct. Christianity is a religion, just like Hinduism, Buddhism, liberalism, liberalism? There are allot of sub categories to the word religion. It does not describe one cognitive contention, such as Christianity. Religion is a faith based law, an inspired ritual based on a belief.
