Abortion--Good For the Economy?

In the years that have passed just since the “legalization” of abortion by the U.S. Supreme Court in the infamous Roe v. Wade Decision, proponents of abortion have offered numerous arguments supporting abortion. Some arguments are at least worthy of discussion, i.e. abortion when the life of the mother is in danger. This week, though, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, offered the most specious of all arguments, even more specious than a right to privacy.

Personally, I cannot remember when I have ever agreed with Ms. Pelosi on anything, but my disagreement with her has never been as vehement as it is today. Even with the inane comments she has made in the past, I found it difficult to believe that even she could dream up such an argument for abortion!

To say that abortion helps the nation’s economy is, at best, a specious argument. Preventing the birth of a child as a means of controlling government spending is only one step away from genocide. What’s next—the argument that retirement pensions, Social Security, and Medicare are such a drain on the economy that we need to deny medical care and retirement income to senior citizens? When does someone like Pelosi say that $80,000 is too much to save the life of an eighty-year old senior citizen who has suffered a heart attack? Folks, it’s coming. Mark my words.

New President Obama

I just finished watching the inauguration of President Obama. Although I did not vote for him, I now have an obligation to pray for him, as do all Christians. I pray that our Lord will give him wisdom and direction in all that he does. I pray that our Lord protect him and his family. May Almighty God direct his every step so that he will govern in a Godly manner.

May President Obama always seek God's face and His direction. May he surround himself with wise men and women whose primary interest is what is best for our nation. May President Obama remember that God is the only true source of wisdom. I pray that he will learn quickly to rely on God not on man.

Please, folks, pray for President Obama. This is a dangerous time, and he needs our prayers! May God bless and protect him and his family.
