Moral Outcry

An abortion clinic employee attacked a pregnant pro-life volunteer outside the Central Family Medicine abortion clinic in Kansas City, Kansas, while she was engaged in peaceful, First Amendment activity.

On November 14, 2009, an unidentified abortion clinic employee came out of the Central Family Medicine abortion clinic and began to taunt the pro-lifers. Her verbal abuse escalated into violence as she rammed her shoulder into sidewalk counselor Jennifer McCoy, who is noticeably six months pregnant. A photograph taken by protest leader Mark Gietzen of the Kansas Coalition for Life shows McCoy recoiling and bracing for the hard impact that occurred a split second later.

President Obama is arguing that it’s necessary to pull the Stupak Amendment banning federal funding of abortions because he doesn’t think we should alter the status quo. The definition of status quo is the existing state of affairs, the ways things are. With that definition, he is arguing against himself because currently my money does not pay for the shedding of innocent blood without my having a choice. The status quo, in this case, works for me.  There is a cultural definition of status quo that it appears the president likes better. It says:

“The existing order of things; present customs, practices, and power relations: ‘People with money are often content with the status quo.’ ”

On the siege line, there is a battle that rages around and within. Shouts of profanity might fill your ears. Sorrow might fill your heart as you witness firsthand such brazen infamy. What seemed so noble at first begins to feel distasteful. “Don’t you have anything better to do? Mind your own business!” Or so the voices say.
 
Yet there is a motivation that surpasses the discouragement of injustice and disdain. It is a motivation that surpasses human ability, and has strengthened my hope, time and time again. It is something more powerful than death, and to which all resistance must ultimately give way – the persevering love of Jesus Christ.

President Obama tells Jake Tapper that Congress needs to change abortion-related language in the health care bill passed by the House of Representatives this weekend.

"I laid out a very simple principle, which is this is a health care bill, not an abortion bill," Obama said. "And we're not looking to change what is the principle that has been in place for a very long time, which is federal dollars are not used to subsidize abortions.

What the President is getting at is that the Stupak amendment went to far in preventing taxpayer funded abortions. Basically, that "very simple principle" is a bit tricky.

Bound4LIFE is coordinating along with Lou Engle for an urgent conference call tonight to pray concerning HR-3962 (known as PelosiCare). Please do whatever is necessary to participate in this call. For those of you that have corporate prayer meetings scheduled for this evening I strongly encourage you to patch this call into your meetings to join in corporately.

For LIFE,

The nation was gripped a couple weeks ago when up to 20 people watched a gang rape of a 15-year old girl take place and no one spoke up or called the police. CNN reported on the psychology of bystanders and looked at the history of those who have stood passively by while acts of violence occurred.

Often we remain horrified at these acts, declaring we would certainly intervene, but don’t see the parallel in our own call to contend for the ending of abortion in America.

This former Planned Parenthood employee was told to get more abortions in the door in light of the poor economy. (Now that's health care you can trust!) And to think members of Congress are trying to fuel this kind of complete and utter disregard of ethics not to mention women's health care, by mandating taxpayer money to fund abortion clinics just like this one... if not this one directly!
