March for Life: This January Marks the 40th Anniversary of Roe vs. Wade

Please click on this link to an article I published two years ago entitled Pro-Life Signs for Pro-Life Marches and Abortion Protests.

Please show your support for life and the Source of that life, God Almighty.

In the Bible, God usually gave a nation 40 years to repent of gross sin before He destroyed it. May our nation be blessed with repentance and humility before the living God and His Christ, Jesus.

Defunding Planned Parenthood Amendment Passes in the House

from American Life League Action Alert email:

"Just a few minutes ago, the House of Representatives voted 240-185 to add Amendment #11 to the Continuing Resolution bill. This amendment, introduced by Representative Mike Pence [R-Ind.], prohibits any federal government money going to Planned Parenthood until, at least, September 30, 2011.


It is a major victory and your prayers and actions made it happen.

The fight is not over. This amendment must also be passed in the Senate. It will be a major struggle and Planned Parenthood is already saying it will put all of its emphasis on defeating it in the Senate. Planned Parenthood has over $1 billion to throw at this."

Defund Planned Parenthood

Let's keep the pressure on! Our "lawmakers" need this issue brought before their quieted consciences again and again, until their consciences are in an uproar. Thank God for those men in the Congress willing to introduce legislation that would pull the hands of thieving murderers out of the pockets of Christians. Whatever God may have in store for us, let us clamor for the protection of the life of the unborn whenever He gives us opportunity. Christian dollars should not be going to fund Planned Parenthood!

from an AFA Action Alert:

Last year, Planned Parenthood received over $363 million in taxpayer funds, lifted from your wallet and mine, and performed 324,00 abortions along the way.


Of that total, $57 million came through a federal program known as Title X.

Rep. Mike Pence has crafted legislation that will end Title X funding of Planned Parenthood, as well as all other abortion providers.

Live Action films has released seven undercover videos in the last two weeks alone showing the eagerness of Planned Parenthood clinics in Virginia, New York and New Jersey to help sex traffickers get birth control and illegal abortions for 14-year-old illegal alien prostitutes. They offered to help them avoid legally mandated reporting and parental consent requirements.

Rep. Pence's bill is entitled the "Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act" (H.R. 217), and will deny Title X taxpayer funds to Planned Parenthood and any other abortion provider.

This is the best opportunity the pro-family community has had in decades to substantially end subsidies for the largest abortion provider in the United States.

Life at Conception

from an AFA email Action Alert:

Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS) is sponsoring the "Life at Conception Act" (S.91), which will define personhood from the moment of conception. Sen. Wicker has 13 co-sponsors thus far.

In Harry Blackmun's 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, he wrote that "if personhood is established, the appellant's case (i.e., 'Roe'), of course collapses, for the fetus' right to life is then guaranteed specifically by the [14th] amendment."

Under S.91, a "human person" and a "human being" includes every individual "at all stages of life, including, but not limited to, the moment of fertilization, cloning and other moment at which an individual...comes into being."

If this bill is enacted into law, it thus will not only provide protection for unborn babies, it will follow the path Justice Blackmun laid out 38 years ago for overturning Roe v. Wade, an act of judicial activism that has led to the deaths of 53 million infants before they have drawn their first breath.

Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) has introduced a parallel bill in the House (H.R.374) which currently has 53 co-sponsors.


Email your senator and thank him for co-sponsoring the bill or urge him to give his support to S.91.


Some of God's wisdom:

My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause: Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit: We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil: Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:

My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. (Psalm 1:10-16)

Let's do all we can lawfully, including prayer, to end abortion. For murder is never lawful in the eyes of God. We must not consent by silence. If the ungodly continue to murder, let it be at the public protest of Christians united in God's Word.


Don't consent to the anti-Christ idea that unborn babies are blobs of tissue, not really human, not really persons. They are fully human persons, being knit together by God, known to Him before He kindled the life in the mother's womb, just in an early stage of development. Is it more just or moral to kill a three-year-old than it is to kill a thirty-year-old? Of course not. The fact that one person is younger than the other is no justification for murder. In fact, the more helpless persons are all the more to be protected.

A generation that approves the murder of the unborn in the womb is vulnerable to murder by euthanasia when they are old and have no children to want them and take care of them. They've unwittingly paved the way for their own "legal" state-sanctioned murder.

Remember, Christ never turns away any sinner who runs to Him in sincere repentence from his sin and belief in Christ for the washing away of their sins by His shed blood. For Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. A sinnner who repents causes rejoicing in heaven. If you draw near to God, He will draw near to you.

Urge Your Congressman to Support H.R. 3

From an AFA Action Alert email:

"Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) and Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) just last week introduced H.R. 3, the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act," which will permanently prohibit taxpayer funding of abortion across all federal programs.


If this bill is signed into law, you will never again be troubled by the thought that some of the money you send to the IRS is being siphoned off to kill babies in the womb.

H.R. 3 will take the language of the Hyde Amendment and put it into federal law. Since the Hyde Amendment has to be passed every year, it makes protection for unborn babies vulnerable to changes in the makeup of Congress."
Send an email to your representatives to urge them to vote for H.R. 3.

Infertility, Androgyny, and the Righteous Judgment of God

Since the 1960's, and especially within the last 15 years, there has been an exponential increase in birth control hormones in our water supply. This is because there has been an unprecendented increase in fornication, in which children are not wanted, and, increasingly, even married couples do not want children. So women have been taking "The Pill," for longer and longer periods during their fertile years. (And then at menopause many women take estrogen-replacements.) These hormones are excreted in the urine and enter the wastewater systems of municipalities.

The wastewater is then treated for bacteria and other pathogens, but not for birth control hormones. Our municipal wastewater is also not treated for the many other chemicals and drugs people are taking in the aging, hedonistic, and drug-obsessed culture of the West (cocaine, nicotine, heroin, anti-depressants, pain-killers, caffeine, antibiotics, chemotherapy drugs, sunscreens, detergents, etc.).

Women who take birth control hormones have increased risk of breast cancer, abortion (or miscarriage), and infertility. Men who take birth control hormones become effeminate and have an increased risk of infertility (low sperm count). The humanists are oh, so, concerned about the androgyny increasingly found in male fish because of this problem---but, honey, it ain't just the fish (and frogs and river otters).

Human males are taking on feminine characteristics, too. It is a spiritual, moral problem, but it has a physical manifestation.

Oh, the poetic justice of God's judgment. Sometimes, God really doesn't have to do anything to us; just leave us alone. We'll dig our own pit.

(Although it shouldn't amaze me, it always amazes me that, to the environmentalist humanists, it's just fine for men to be inadvertently feminized and sterilized, but if fish are inadvertently feminized and sterilized, now we have a real problem. How topsy-turvy.)

The problem is NOT a lack of "consciousness" and education about the environment. The problem is a MORAL problem. For "There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man."

We do not love children as God says we should, we do not love our husbands as God says we should, we are not meek as God says we should be. We aren't helping our husbands take a stewardship dominion over the earth (including fish) as God says we should be doing. Rather, we want to play God with the womb, with our health, and with future generations.

At the root, this wish to play God is a really a wish to replace God and put ourselves on the throne, in sinful rebellion. "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death."

But God is sovereign; there is no way anyone, not one person, is going to get away with that. Either one will believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and have his heart changed; or he will continue in sin and rebellion and be consigned to hell for eternity. I urge you to believe in, repent of your sin and put your trust in, the Lord Jesus Christ, for "whosoever believeth in Him [shall] not perish, but have eternal life."


If this is the first time you've heard of this problem, you may be interested in reading one or more of the following articles (and you can find many more online; this is a small sampling):

"Birth control pills spark an environmental debate" (Columbia Univ, Feb. 2008)

"Thousands of chemical traces found in drinking water" (New York Times, Apr. 2007)

"Pharamceuticals in our water supplies" (Univ. of Arizona, Jul. 2000)

"Is birth control aborting our health?" (The Daily Green, Jun. 2009)

"Health impacts of estrogens on the environment, considering complex mixture effects" (Environmental Health News, 2007, a more scholarly synopsis of a study done on minnows)

"Birth control hormones threaten fish fecundity" (ScienceAGoGo, Apr. 2010) - Here's an interesting quote:
"Writing in the journal Environmental Science and Technology, researchers from Sweden say that traces of many medicines can be found in fish that have been swimming in treated waste water. One such medicine, the hormone levonorgestrel, was found in higher concentrations in fish than in women who take the contraceptive pill. Elevated levels of levonorgestrel can lead to infertility in fish. Levonorgestrel is a synthetic hormone that is used in many contraceptive pills, hormone implants and morning-after pills. It is thought that around 80-90 million women use contraceptive pills worldwide."
"Birth-control pills poison everyone?" (World Net Daily, Jul. 2007)



What can we do? I highly recommend at least filtering the tap water that you use for cooking and drinking.

To quote from "Is birth control aborting our health? " above:

"With such contaminants proving elusive to municipal filtration systems, the burden of protection often lies with the end user. But getting traces of birth control and other drugs out of your tap water isn’t so easy. Of the many different kinds of in-home water filtration systems available today, only those employing reverse osmosis have been shown to filter out some drugs. Some makers of activated carbon water filters claim their products catch pharmaceuticals, but independent research has not verified such claims.


“The best choice,” says Cathy Sherman of the natural health website Natural News, “would probably be a combination of a reverse osmosis filter augmented by pre- and post-activated carbon filters.” Installing such a system just for drinking water is sufficient, she says, given that water used for cleaning and plumbing doesn’t typically get ingested. As to prevention, the non-profit public health and safety agency, NSF International, urges individuals to not use their toilets or sinks to dispose of unused medications and to opt for the garbage instead; most modern landfills are lined to keep such contaminants inside."

And only drink rBST-free milk. Don't get me started.

Psalm 10, the Sanctity of Human Life, and a Mass Murderer

Recently, the sickening story of an evil and gruesome mass murderer, Kermit B. Gosnell, in Philadelphia, PA, has reached the media. He murdered babies for decades, and made millions of dollars for it.

Today is CareNet's Sanctity of Human Life Sunday. Please consider sending a Letter to the Editor of a local newspaper, or giving financially to a Pregnancy Care Center, or in some other way using your talents to serve Jesus and your unborn neighbor.


Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth. The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

His ways are always grievous [NKJ: prospering]; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity. His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.

He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily [secretly] set against the poor. He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net. He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.

He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it. Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble. Wherefore doth the wicked contemn [renounce] God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it [an account].

Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless. Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land. LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress. (Psalm 10)

Wow! Great Rally with March for Life Yesterday

I was so encouraged by the heartfelt prayers, speeches from our pro-life representatives, singing (Amazing Grace and God Bless America), sign-holding, and the commitment of the thousands of people--men, women, and children--who came out to shiver in the rain and take a public stand for the right of the helpless unborn person to be free from murder.

My signs were a big hit! How could they fail to be, with the word of God on them? :-) Several people took pictures of me with my signs, and one of my signs was pointed out (Sign 3, Side 2) in one of the speeches.

I made three signs, and each was two-sided. Stenciled using black acrylic paint pens, outlined in silver glitter, and sprayed with a sealer to make it water-resistant. They worked out great, except the posterboard was a little floppy. Fortunately, it wasn't windy. Next time, I would use foam board.

Sign 1 had these messages:
Side 1: YOU SHALL NOT MURDER Ex. 20:13; Deut. 5:17; Matt. 19:18; Mark 10:19; Luke 18:20; Rom. 13:9; Jer. 22:3
Side 2: CHOOSE LIFE Deut. 30:19

Sign 2 had these messages:
Side 1: BEFORE I FORMED YOU IN THE WOMB I KNEW YOU Jer. 1:5
Side 2: DID NOT ONE FASHION US IN THE WOMB? Job 31:15

Sign 3 had these messages:
Side 1: INIQUITY FRAMES EVIL BY A LAW AND CONDEMNS THE INNOCENT BLOOD Ps. 94:20-21
Side 2: BE INSTRUCTED YOU JUDGES SERVE THE LORD WITH FEAR Ps. 2:10-11

There were about 10 pro-murder hecklers. The speakers made sure to note to the crowd at a couple points that we should reach out to them with love and with the truth of God's word and evangelize.

My guesstimate is that 90% of the crowd was Roman Catholic, though it was an ecumenical rally. There were even Eastern Orthodox clergy there. Many Roman Catholic parishes, schools, and benevolent service organizations (Knights of Columbus) had banners with their names on them for all to see. In addition, the names of the Catholic (and possibly Eastern Orthodox) churches were proclaimed by microphone to the crowd as pro-life supporters. No Protestant churches were mentioned. The rally was broadcast (twice) over Sacred Heart Radio.

I was happy and impressed to hear that the pro-life legislators’ speeches and the priests’ prayers were steeped in Scripture, and to see so many take a public stand (on the grounds of the state capitol building, no less!) for what's right based on God's word.

Would I worship with the Roman Catholics? No.
Would I stand for the word of God in public sphere alongside Roman Catholics? Yes.

P.S. Mary was not mentioned, but King Jesus was.

That Roman Catholics were the ones standing virtually ALONE publicly at this rally for the right of the unborn to be free from murder is a SHAME to Protestants. Where were the Protestant Christians at this rally? Where was the “good-works-are-evidence-of-a-living-and-saving-faith” crowd? Is there a local Protestant church that would like its name listed over a microphone at a pro-life rally at the state capital as being officially pro-life? Is there a Protestant church that would bus everyone to the state capital to stand for life?

Does anyone know of a Reformed Protestant annual pro-life rally in the Northwest of the USA?

Forty-One Percent of NYC Babies Murdered in the Womb (Down from Forty-Six Percent in 1998)

http://www.lifenews.com/

http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=news/local/new_york&id=7883827

It's closer to 60% for black babies...

Friends, we need to continue to stand against this evil holocaust, and we need to increase our current efforts. Most of us, including me, could do more than we are now.

If Christians won't, who will? Who will care except those who know the fear of, and the mercies of, Christ Jesus?

Pro-Life Signs for Pro-Life Marches and Abortion Protests

When you go to a pro-life rally or march, such as one organized by March for Life or National Right to Life (which also has state chapters), you will want to bring a sign to be able to peacefully and forcefully communicate your reason for being there.

If you internet search "march for life [the capital of your state]," you will find out details about the March for Life in your state. If you live close to the DC area, there will be details about buses going to DC for the march there.

First, about the duty of Christians to stand for God and His word PUBLICLY beyond what I've shared in this post regarding Christian opposition to abortion.

The Lord Jesus Christ said, as recorded in Luke 8:15b-17:
"They, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light. For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad."
And in John 3:21, He said:
"But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God."
There is little fruit brought forth from being pro-life in your heart, but not pro-life in such a way as anyone could ever know it. The heathen suppress the truth in unrighteousness; therefore, the truth must be brought to their attention.

And that brings us to signage at pro-life marches. I plan to do up some signs that are simply made with a yardstick (cheap, strong, lightweight), and two posterboards with large stenciled lettering on them (both sides of the sign), which is stapled, taped, and hot-glued to each other/the yardstick. I'm going to try dark lettering outlined in glitter. If you have five or more people coming to the march, you might consider a canvas or vinyl (not paper) banner with a stenciled, inked message. Making these signs would be a fun family or church activity.

You want something lightweight, but which can hold up to January weather. You might decide to spray your signs with a polyurethane coating or have them laminated before assembling. (Keep in mind that hot-glue doesn't stick to lamination very well, so you will need to use staples and tape instead.) Bring clear duct tape to make quick sign repairs.

In addition, you might want an effective picture or decoration to draw the eye to your sign. My personal view is that graphic pictures of, for example, cut-up and bloody aborted babies, is not wise for these events because children will likely see them, and those pictures can deeply and adversely affect them, much more than adults may realize. So, in my opinion, it's better to have pictures of beautiful little newborns, or mommies and daddies holding their little precious ones, or a picture of a red rose, etc. Certainly more gory, graphic pictures are truthful and very appropriate in their time and place; I would just urge discretion in their use for broadcast-type messages (Ecc. 8:5).

You can also buy signs, bumper stickers, etc. ProLifeSigns.com and ProLifeBumper.com are two good sources. You might also try UnbornWordoftheDay.com or ProLife.com. I found many of the non-Scripture (but consistent with Scripture) sign messages I list below from these sites.

In my opinion, the best pro-life signs contain short Scripture messages. This makes it clear that you are Christians standing for God's word publicly. Also, Scripture is wonderful because you want the ungodly to look askance at "those people" (abortion protesting pro-lifers) and have the Word of God be seared into their brains.

Only Scripture, if the Holy Spirit blesses, can do that the most effectively. "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." (Heb. 4:12)

Nevertheless, I include non-Scripure messages as well in the ideas below. Before I list some messages for you to consider for your signs, I also wanted to note how we bring a message that the ungodly can see with more than just our word-signs (1 Sam. 16:7).

The ungodly can also see our physical appearance and our behavior. When we go to these marches, we must be warmly dressed in clean clothing in good repair and in eye-pleasing color combinations. We, including our children, must be well-scrubbed, clean cut, hair combed, with cheerful smiles on our faces. Our children must be well-trained and well-behaved. (If your children are not trained yet, you may want to leave them with trusted babysitters. It is difficult to hold a pro-baby sign while exhaustedly chasing and restraining Little Tantrum-Throwing Terrors.) No littering. No belligerence. No scowling or frowning with straggly hair, shivering in dumpy unisex t-shirts and torn jeans. Although we are exercising our civil liberties and protesting, we are not hippies. We are Christians, and we must show the dignity of life in our persons. We must show forth the truth of God that children are blessings from Him. It probably goes without saying, but I'm just saying anyway...

On to possible messages for our signs. They should be short, so that people can read them at a glance, and so that the lettering can be made large enough to see from a distance on a small, lightweight sign. Six or less words is a good rule of thumb, though I personally have great difficulty with this (as you can see from my long-winded posts!). Nevertheless, I have to face the fact that people can't read long Bible passages or dissertations on our march signs :-) You would probably be able to cut down some of the Scriptures below even more to fit better on a sign.

Scripture:
THOU SHALT NOT KILL (Ex. 20:13; Deut. 5:17; Matt. 19:18; Mark 10:19; Lk. 18:20; Rom. 13:9)
CHOOSE LIFE (Deut. 30:19)
BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY (Gen. 1:22, 28; Gen. 8:17, Gen. 9:1, 7; Gen. 35:11)
EVEN THEIR CHILDREN THEY HAVE SACRIFICED TO THEIR GODS (Deut. 12:31)
DID NOT ONE FASHION US IN THE WOMB? (Job. 31:15)
BE INSTRUCTED YE JUDGES. SERVE THE LORD WITH FEAR. (Ps. 2:10-11)
THEY MURDER THE FATHERLESS (Ps. 94:6)
THE THRONE OF INIQUITY FRAMES MISCHIEF BY A LAW AND CONDEMNS THE INNOCENT BLOOD (Ps. 94:20-21)
LOVE THY [UNBORN] NEIGHBOR (Lev. 19:18; Matt. 19:19; Matt. 22:39; Mark. 12:31, 33; Lk. 10:27; Rom. 13:9. 10; Gal. 5:14; Jam. 2:8)
THEY SACRIFICED THEIR CHILDREN, SHED INNOCENT BLOOD, AND THE LAND WAS POLLUTED WITH BLOOD. (Ps. 106:37-38)
CHILDREN ARE AN HERITAGE OF THE LORD (Ps. 127:3)
THE FRUIT OF THE WOMB IS HIS REWARD (Ps. 127:3)
IN MY MOTHER'S WOMB I AM FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE (Ps. 139:13-14)
BEFORE I FORMED YOU IN THE WOMB I KNEW YOU (Jer. 1:5)
IN THY SKIRTS IS FOUND THE BLOOD OF THE POOR INNOCENTS (Jer. 2:34)
DO NOT SHED INNOCENT BLOOD (Jer. 22:3)
THE BABE LEPT IN MY WOMB FOR JOY (Lk. 1:44)

Non-Scripture:
THE UNBORN HAVE NO "CHOICE"
LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL
LIFE IS PRECIOUS (see also: 2 Kings 1:14; Is. 43:4; Matt. 10:29-31; Lk. 12:6-7)
WE VOTE PRO-LIFE
U CAN'T B BOTH CHRISTIAN AND PRO-CHOICE
IT'S EASY TO BE PRO-"CHOICE" WHEN YOU'RE NOT THE ONE BEING KILLED
I HAVE NOTICED EVERYONE WHO IS FOR ABORTION HAS BEEN BORN -Ronald Reagan
IF IT'S NOT A BABY, YOU'RE NOT PREGNANT
YOUR MONEY = FREE ABORTIONS?
BOYCOTT DOCTORS WHO KILL
A PERSON'S A PERSON NO MATTER HOW SMALL -Dr. Suess
ABORTION STOPS A BEATING HEART
ADOPTION: THE LOVE OPTION
ADOPTION: THE CHOICE WE CAN LIVE WITH
SMILE! YOUR PARENTS CHOSE LIFE
CHRISTIAN VOTERS VOTE PRO-LIFE
GOD IS PRO-LIFE (see also: Gen. 2:7; Deut. 30:20 ("He is thy life..."); Ps. 133:3; Prov. 14:27; Prov. 22:4; Jn. 6:68; Rom. 6:23; 2 Cor. 4:10; James 1:12)
PRAY TO END ABORTION (see also: Ps. 42:8Lam. 2:19 ("Lift up thy hands to Him for the life of thy young children")
THANK YOU, MOM AND DAD! (see also: Ex. 20:12; Eph. 6:2)

Happy pro-life marching! Don't forget to pray before, after, and continuously during (Lk 6:12; Acts 6:4; Rom. 12:12; Col 4:2)...

Some Thoughts on 38 Years of the "Legal" Murder of the Unborn in the U.S.


Thirty-eight years ago this month, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the illegalization of abortion was not Constitutional.

What a lie.

Truly the these judges believed they were gods, deciding for themselves what is good and evil, right and wrong. They have so many millions of deaths of unborn babies on their hands, along with the parents who have sacrificed their children to their gods of Self or Money, and along with the abortionist executioner-"doctors" who have carried out the will of the judges and the parents.

May God's people not give up until Roe v. Wade is overturned and/or abortion is ended, with or without the repentance of the U.S. Supreme Court judges themselves. May our nation repent.

Many pro-life organizations are planning marches or protests during this month, as they have every January for the past 37 years. I hope you will join in a public march for life or give financially to a pro-life organization or crisis pregnancy center or in your area this month.

Let us remember the fatherless and what an abomination it is to the Lord Jesus Christ for us to condone or become complacent in regard to the shedding of innocent blood.

Throughout Holy Scripture, we learn that God's way, as exemplified in the Lord Jesus Himself, is for the strong to protect the weak. It is the opposite of the way of natural man, who declares for himself that the strong shall live and the weak shall die. The strongest among us should protect the weakest among us, even to our own hurt. This is the way that God shows His people is the way of His Kingdom.

UPATE: I've posted on some ideas, including signs, etc., to consider when attending a pro-life march or rally.


And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. Gen. 4:1

For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. Gen. 21:2

And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins. Gen. 35:11

And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already. Ex. 1:5

If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. Ex. 21:22-25

Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods. What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it. Deut. 12:30-32


If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three: that innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee. Deut. 19:9-10

But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death. Judges 13:7

Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name. 1 Kings 8:19 (see also 2 Chron. 6:9)


With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his. He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools. He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle. He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty. He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged. He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty. He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death. He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again. Job 12:16-23


What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him? Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb? If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail; Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof; (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)...If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate: Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone. For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure. Job 31:13-18, 21-23

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Psalm 2:1-11

They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage. They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it. Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see? He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? Psalm 94:5-10

Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge. Psalm 94:20-22

Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood. Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions. Psalm 106:37-39

Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. Psalm 139:12-14

These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood... Prov. 6:16-17

By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth. I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. Prov. 8:15-17


As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all. Ecc. 11:5

And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. Is. 11:2-4


Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Is. 49:15



Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Jer. 1:5

Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these. Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned. Jer. 2:34-35

If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt: Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever. Jer. 7:6-7

And say, Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that enter in by these gates: Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place. Jer. 22:2-3

But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was...Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Is this of thy whoredoms a small matter, That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them? And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast polluted in thy blood. And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the LORD GOD;) That thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street. Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms. Ezek. 16:15, 20-25

Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel. Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth, Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name: That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress. They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly. Amos 5:6-10

And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. Lk 1:31

For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. Lk. 1:44

We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Rom. 15:1


Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence. 1 Cor. 1:25-30


But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen... Gal. 1:15-16a

And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him. Heb. 7:9-10

By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days. By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace. And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions. Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection.. Heb. 11:30-35

Life Decisions International


Life Decisions International (LDI) opposes Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s (PPFA) agenda.

Planned Parenthood was founded in 1916 by elitist eugenicist Margaret Higgins Sanger. This “not for profit” has a one billion dollar annual operating budget--nearly one-third from taxpayers--with an "excess revenue" of $114 million in 2006-2007. Yet, Planned Parenthood incessantly claims to need more money.

PPFA also has a radical birth control agenda, promoting fornication, homosexuality, population control, and carcinogenic chemical use (including The Pill and “Emergency Contraception”). They work to undermine parental rights and even cover up statutory rape.

Planned Parenthood commits more abortions than any other single entity in the United States. They “surgically” killed 289,750 pre-born human beings in 2006 alone, generating $125 million. Only 2,410 customers were referred to adoption agencies that year.

In 2006, PPFA sold 1,436,846 “emergency birth control” kits, each of which delivers a huge amount of carcinogenic chemicals in an attempt to keep a conceived baby from implanting in the womb, to abort the few days old baby (if it exists). Many Planned Parenthood “clinics” accept orders for the deadly concoction by phone and/or online with no physical examination.

Life Decisions International wants to get the word out about Planned Parenthood. They also research and contact many corporations that have contributed to Planned Parenthood to inform them of Planned Parenthood’s agenda. If the corporation affirms their support of the PP agenda, then Life Decisions International adds them to their boycott list.

I encourage you to visit the LDI web site, learn more, contribute, purchase the Boycott List, and participate in their boycott/letter writing/prayer campaign. I do not benefit personally from LDI in any way. I simply think it is a good organization that Christians should support, if they can.

Almost 50 million babies have been murdered before birth in this country since 1973. Christians must continue to speak out against this sinful atrocity and reach the lost in the United States (and all over the world) with the gospel of Jesus Christ.



Do you have a family story about being active in the pro-life movement you'd be willing to share in the comments? Is there a particular pro-life organization you particularly support and stand with?
