Here is another one of those stories that totally boggles my mind! You'll see what I mean:
Sayre police on Wednesday charged Orbin Eeli Tercero, 38, with criminal homicide of an unborn child, first-degree murder of an unborn child, aggra vated assault of an unborn child, aggravated assault, hindering apprehension or prosecution, and tampering with or fabricating physical evidence.
Did you notice the guy from the Personhood campaign refer to "Wilberforce"? In case you don't know, William Wilberforce was a British politician who lead a movement to abolish the slave trade. For 26 years he would present a bill to end the slave trade and every year the bill would be soundly rejected. He never gave up and in 1807 the Slave Trade Act was passed.
Hearts and minds change as does public opinion. What was once looked upon as beneficial can, in time, become reprehensible ergo the ending slavery.
Watch the following video of Senator Sam Brownback speaking from the Senate floor.
Tomorrow as a first order of business the U.S. Senate will be debating a Slavery Apology Resolution called S. Con. Res. 26. Please be in prayer that this apology would pass unanimously with no opposition. It is being presented in such a way that will NOT require the signature of the President. It will be a “concurrent resolution" between both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Many people in the church today would say, “If, I were alive during the time of slavery I would be apart of the Underground Railroad. Absolutely, I would have helped the slaves.” Or some might say, “If, I were in Nazi Germany I would have helped hide the Jews. Yes, I would help the Jews anyway I could.”
Bottom Line: It’s not enough to simply say you oppose abortion...
For us here at Bound4LIFE the similarities between abortion, slavery, and the holocaust are painfully clear and sobering. Abortion – like slavery and the holocaust – will be seen as a scourge upon humanity and will be ended.
Bound4LIFE International has never endorsed any candidate but we absolutely do not apologize for asking people to vote pro-life. This, of course, is not always that popular of an idea.
We recently received a question concerning our mandate to encourage people to vote for only pro-life candidates. We do not overlook issues such as poverty, drugs, abuse, and unemployment. However, we strongly believe that the abortion issue is the most important of our day just as slavery was to those who lived through those dark times. I know many are worried about our economy, and rightfully so. But think about the economic upheaval in the south due to the ending of slavery; it was disastrous, but ending slavery was the right thing to do. The toll that it took on our nation was great, but again slavery had to be ended.
