Legislative Ambush : Moral Outcry

Legislative Ambush

By Ian Kelly • January 19, 2009 04:09 PM

With only a few short hours to go until the inauguration of Barack Obama as our next President we are holding our breath to see if the radical stance on abortion that Obama has threatened will come to pass.

Obama has all but promised to issue an executive order to reverse the “Mexico City policy” a controversial Bush administration abortion policy. Also referred to as “the global gag rule”, this executive order bans taxpayer money from being used to pay for abortion or actively promote abortion in other countries.

While abortion proponents would like nothing better than to have more money for their radical agenda the necessity of taxpayers who do not believe in killing children through abortion is nothing less than a “legislative ambush”.

Should those who believe abortion is murder be forced to pay for an abortion? Should those who believe that life is sacred be forced to help snuff out the divine flame?

The issue is not so much should we be helping other countries through compassion and charity, of course we should. However, throwing money at a problem will not help heal wounds nor will hope be inspired. We can as a nation inspire again but teaching other countries to kill their children is not the way! Are we a nation dedicated to the proposition that liberty is for those who can afford it or are we a nation dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Christina Martin is the director of Bound4Life Atlanta and an intercessory missionary at the International House of Prayer Atlanta. For the past 4 years Christina has given herself to the occupation of intercession. It’s her full time job to stand before heaven and earth, God and man, asking for mercy and crying out for truth. She prays, God hears, He moves, She is happy.

Christina is committed to fighting for the unborn. She feels for them because she herself had an appointment to die. Literally. 28 years ago her mother was sitting in a hospital room, waiting for the abortion doctor to call her into his office. An elderly black janitor saw her mom crying and asked her one question “Do you want to have this baby”? Her mom said yes, and the rest was history. She walked out of that clinic with hope in her heart and Christina still safely in her womb.

While in D.C God gave Christina a burden for the African-American community. She was shocked to find out how her race has been targeted by Planned Parenthood from the start of their organization. Christina is convinced she will see Roe v. Wade overturned and abortion end in her lifetime.

Kaitlin comes from a family with a long history of pro-life activism having had to bail her father out of jail more than 50 times for efforts to protect the unborn and free speech. She's only been arrested herself on two occasions, but that's enough for street cred. Kaitlin captures the voice of a young generation desperately trying to reconcile Biblical truths with practical application in culture. In fact, she IS the voice of Bound4LIFE videos like "The Numbers Don't Lie" and "Houston, Now Is The Time."
