Excerpt from Chuck Baldwin's Article :
John McCain pro-life? What a joke!"How can John McCain, and his fellow Republicans in Washington, D.C.,
look pro-life Christians and conservatives in the eye in 2008 and
expect that we take them seriously when they say that they are
"pro-life"? If the GOP had truly wanted to overturn Roe v. Wade and end
legal abortion-on-demand, they could have already done it. They
controlled the White House, the U.S. Senate, and the House of
Representatives for six long years, for goodness sake. The reason they
did not do it is because they did not want to do it. They merely want
to use "pro-life" rhetoric as a campaign tool to dupe gullible
Christian voters every election year. And the disgusting thing about it
is — it works."
He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.
-Proverbs 17:15
by Francine Rivers
A young girl sat in the full waiting room of the clinic, her heart
hammering, her stomach so tense she felt sick. One girl sat crying
while an older, narrow-eyed, tight lipped woman sat beside her. A woman
in her late thirties sat with her slender legs crossed reading Fortune.
Another girl, in her early teens, in a pair of baggy black Levi’s and a
scoop necked white T-shirt sat forward, knees and toes together, beside
her friend in a short black skirt and tight red sweater.
No one spoke. No one met the gaze of another. They stared down at their hands or a magazine or off into space.
The young girl closed her eyes tightly, praying for strength.
I AM HERE BELOVED. I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD, WHO LOVES YOU.
The door opened, and a woman in white stood looking at her clipboard. ” Number nine.”
The waiting room emptied of one.
The young girl hunched in her chair. Oh, God, oh, God, I’m so scared. I want to go home.
COME OUT FROM THEM, BELOVED, AND BE SEPARATE, AND I WILL LEAD YOU IN THE WAY EVERLASTING.
Shaking, she got up.
Her boyfriend clamped his hand around her wrist. ” Where’re you going?” he asked in a hushed, taut voice.
She leaned down and whispered. ” I don’t want to do this.”
He pulled her down beside him. ” Do you think I do?”
”Then let’s leave.”
”And do what?” He leaned closer, speaking so only she could hear. ”
Look, this isn’t easy for me either. Don’t make it any harder. We’ve
been over this a hundred times. There’s nothing else we can do.”
She tried not to cry. Crying only upset him more. She didn’t want
him to be mad at her. ” I don’t think I can go through with it.”
” You said your parents would disown you.”
THOUGH YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER FORSAKE YOU, I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU.
” And what about school?”
”There must be another way.”
”What other way? You tell me what other way.”
She looked pleadingly up at him. ” We could get married.”
”Yeah, right,” he said sotto voce. “And live on what? Love?”
” I’d work…”
” Give me a break. At that fast food place? Making minimum wage?
And what about after the baby comes? Kiss my future good-bye. I want to
go to college. Remember?”
Her eyes burned with tears at his tone. He had been so sweet and
tender before they had sex. After the first time, that was all he ever
wanted. And now that she was pregnant, he was angry with her most of
the time. It wasn’t all her fault she was in this condition. She’d only
forgotten to take her pill that one day, and he’d never once taken
precautions.
”I’m scared,” she said in a soft, shaky voice.
TRUST ME. I AM YOUR ROCK AND YOUR FORTRESS. I AM YOUR
DELIVERER, BELOVED. TAKE REFUGE IN ME, FOR I AM YOUR SHIELD AND THE
HORN OF YOUR SALVATION. CALL TO ME AND I WILL RESCUE YOU FROM YOUR
ENEMIES. THE CORDS OF DEATH WILL NOT ENTANGLE YOU.
”I’m scared too,” he surprised her by saying.
” I want to leave.”
He took her hand and held it tightly. She could feel the
perspiration on his palms. ” I’ve heard it’s not so bad,” he said
bleakly.
SEEK ME, BELOVED, AND I WILL ANSWER YOU. I WILL DELIVER
YOU. I WILL BE YOUR HIDING PLACE. I WILL PROTECT YOU AND SURROUND YOU
WITH SONGS OF DELIVERANCE.
“It’s only supposed to take a few minutes. By tomorrow, it’ll all be behind us.”
She looked at her boyfriend and saw how uncomfortable he was. He
didn’t want to talk about it anymore. He just wanted to get it over and
get out of there.
Oh, God, I don’t want to lose him.
I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD AND THERE IS NO OTHER.
Her heart jumped as the door opened again.
TURN TO ME IN YOUR HOUR OF NEED AND I WILL…
Her number was called.
…LOVE YOU WITH A LOVE THAT WILL LAST FOREVER.
She hesitated.
”Go,” her boyfriend said, looking imploringly at her.
DO NOT HIDE YOUR FACE FROM ME BELOVED. I LOVE YOU WITH AN EVERLASTING LOVE. I WILL PROVIDE FOR YOU. HEED MY VOICE.
Her number was called again. She wanted to jump up and run screaming out of the room.
CALL OUT TO ME AND I WILL BRING YOU UP OUT OF THIS PIT OF
DESPAIR AND SET YOUR FEET UPON THE ROCK. I WILL PROTECT YOU. I WILL
PROVIDE FOR YOU.OH, MY BELOVED CHILD, YOU ARE SO VERY PRECIOUS TO ME,
SO PRECIOUS I DIED FOR YOU AND ROSE AGAIN THAT YOU MIGHT LIVE IN ME.
TRUST ME. OH, MY BELOVED, TRUST ME.
Her boyfriend took her hand and stood. Heart hammering, she stood with him.
He didn’t take her out of the clinic. He handed her over to the
woman in the doorway with the clipboard in her hand. The woman smiled
and said everything would be all right. Letting go of her, the boy
stepped back and turned away. As the girl went forward, she looked back
and knew she was alone. When the door closed, death surrounded her.
And into the silence and separation that followed could be heard the weeping of God’s only begotten Son, the Atonement Child.
proverbs 4:14Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
And the King
shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye
have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done
it unto me.- Matthew 25:40
- Baldwin/Castle2008- But being Pro-life will not be just a campaign slogan for the Baldwin
Adminstration. As President, He will immediately work with Congress to
pass the Sanctity of Life Act which would strip the appellate
jurisdiction of the Supreme Court in all cases involving the life of an
unborn child. When that happens the unborn child would once again be
declared a person under the law and cannot be harmed without due
process of law. Appointing Pro-life Supreme Court Justices will no
longer give the Republican’s a phony rallying cry and the evil deeds of
the U.S. Supreme Court on January 22, 1973 will be set aside.
