I have really been on edge the last couple days. For months I have felt like a very destructive force was hovering over America. I have tried to ignore it, I have prayed, I have cried. I have tried to remain “normal” and speak of “Mommy things” like recipes, I have tried to let life go on as normal. But what I have feared is surely coming to pass. And simply “praying for the President” and accepting thigs as they are is not going to cut it. I have a voice, and as long as it is legal (which I fear won’t be long) I am going to shout from the rooftops. I will continue to be “in the faces” of those who proclaim false peace. And I will speak truth. Death is sad, death from murder is even sadder, celebrating death by murder is sickening to say the least. Today is the 36 anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Since making it legal 50 million babies have been murdered and America has blood on her hands. No different that when Jesus was crucified, we have guilty blood on our hands. Our tax dollars pay for it. Our tax dollars promote it. And most folks stand idly by and do nothing, say nothing. Wouldn’t want to hurt someones feelings now would we? So we let them die. And we let the mothers suffer. Anybody who kills their own child suffers, lets not fool ourselves, there is surely forgiveness but that is not something one forgets. Ever.
I had a sliver of hope that maybe the new administration was just giving lip service to the pro-baby-killing folks. But no the new President and his administration are keeping that promise. Within 5 minutes of the Inauguration the whitehouse web page changed, announcing the “New Agenda”. In the name of Civil Rights of course. Making it even easier for women to kill their own babies. Especially black babies. Why doesn’t anyone see this? Self inflicted slavery on the black race. Where are most school clinics located? In upper class white neighborhoods? No. What little girls are being most taken advantage of? And then the evidence “wisked way” and the one who harmed them NEVER even reported. How many young girls die every year from abortion complications? All kept hush hush. And what about those clinics, exactly how much money is being made there? And wow what a thought, is any of that money reaching the very hands that fight to keep it legal? Hmmm, yeah, it is all about the women, yeah right, giving them freedom, yeah right, ask a mother who just killed her baby how free she feels.
I am bothered because God is bothered.
I’m not one who usually comments on or gets involved in politics (I don’t belong to any party), but after reading this post, I just had to say something. After all the hoopla about the inauguration and selection of Pastor Rick Warren to administer the inaugural prayer; I here many American and media sources saying things in regards to this being a more Christian oriented inauguration/administration and invoking the name of God more than any past Presidential inaugural address. Now I read your posts regarding the White House official website being stripped of any mention of the right to life or the sanctity there of, essentially giving abortionists a rubber stamp approval from the office of the President. Does anyone else see the complete disconnect and dishonest dichotomy here? I don’t like to be the accuser, but sounds to me like this Presidential administrations first actions have been a slap in the face to Christ.

I agree wholeheartedly. Doing things simply by the letter of the law without having the heart motivation gets only one place, spewed out of His mouth. (Revelation 3:16) . And even worse is that it is done in the name of “equality” and “civil rights” yet there is nothing equal or civil about it. Also, just for the record the oath was not taken according to the constitution, and so was re-taken yesterday, very lightheartedly and without a bible. God will not be mocked.
I just happened to come upon your site via Crystal’s, and thought I would browse some of your posts. And I totally agree with you. It’s so heartbreaking. I just had a child in the middle of November, right now she’s in her swing taking a nap, and I cannot imagine what my life would be without her. I am a first time mom, and it took my husband and I awhil to have her. It’s so sad to see all the wee ones being killed because they were an “accident”. God does not make accidents. He blesses people with children. They are only here for a little while. They are HIS to take anytime He so fits. They are on loan to us. And it breaks my heart that anyone would just “throw” them away. This country was founded on Christian beliefs, and now the people that we elect to “represent” us, throw those ideas out the window…..*sigh*…..
Wow. Wow. Wow. Very well said. I find that with each passing day, I get more discouraged by our new president. I feel hopeless even though I know I’m not. I wish as Christians that we’d all stand up and let this blatant attack on life be seen for what it is – murder. Thanks for your honesty.

I agree wholeheartedly. My poor daughter would LOVE to have a baby! She loves kids so much and here her friend who had 2 abortions a few years back is now on her second pregnancy!
I pray for America, but the Scripture clearly states what we are headed for when we forget God as a nation. Scares me, and so does this administration!
yep, scares me too, even worse so that most folks are blind to it and happy about it
