Pro- Death Government

What makes our nation great? God amongst the people. Why should we pray for God to have compassion, and mercy on this nation? Because while the people with power may not repent, the citizens may. The citizens of this country are far greater than the government. 

Everyone is making a huge deal of President Obama's first 100 days in office. So far he has done a great job defining himself as the most anti-life (a right listed in our declaration of independence) President that this nation has ever had. Despite our lack of money he has decided to fund international abortions, and yesterday he decided to fund and allow scientific research on embryos (babies). All of this despite the scientific research that shows that embryonic stem cells have contributed nothing to the cure of diseases and all research related to them has failed to produce any credible reason for further use. 

I read an article this week from Christianity Today in which the author spoke on Obama's technique regarding the issue of abortion:

"The bad news is that Obama declares a false unity. He claims that all Americans share his goal "to prevent unintended pregnancies, reduce the need for abortion, and support women and families in the choices they make."  .....He assumes that we can all unite, as he said in his Roe anniversary comment, "to ensure that our daughters have the same rights and opportunities as our sons,' suggesting that abortion is not just a need, but a right. It's savvy rhetoric precisely because it is so subtle. It quietly isolates pro-life advocates while appealing to those who are tired of the abortion debate.

Obama is not the only politician on the bandwagon. Senators have reintroduced the Prevention First Act which on the surface seems to help reduce abortions, but actually promotes and funds abortions, and even requires hospitals to explicitly lie about emergency contraception. This strategy that he is using is very deceitful to the pro-life citizens because although we can relate with his desire to reduce abortions we must understand that by doing so we would be ostracizing anyone who supports the complete elimination of this murderous practice. 

Government control has been an interesting topic to consider lately as I am reading the biography of John Adams written by David McCullough. Among the many things that I have found interesting is the apparent contrast between Adams and Jefferson. One particular difference that I read about was Jefferson's desire to give the Senate more power and the President less, while in complete contrast Adams' concern over the Senate's ability to give itself power too easily. I have not quite decided with which one I stand, although I continually find myself agreeing with Adams on most other issues. What I have decided is the government in general has too much power and the people too little. 

With this last note, I would like to remind you to pray for the leaders and citizens of this country to be drawn to God through repentence, especially of this genocide called abortion, and to pray for God's merciful hand to be on His remnant that is currently spread throughout this great nation. For God alone can make this country great.
