Based upon past historical data: 3,287+ UNBORN BABY MURDERS have occurred in the last 24 hours in the United States. See my post “BABY HOLOCAUST” posted January 22, 2008.

I’ve been involved in a problem one of my clients has with Farmers Insurance Group. My previous posts in relation to this problem were:

I will not be continuing my Creationism posts today. I do plan to return to them soon.

Then, I plan to answer the response about Iraq. I am sorry for the change in plans. Plans, in reality, often are altered for one reason or another. “The best laid plans … often go astray.” Thank you for your understanding and patience.

How many unborn toddlers were murdered today because of the humanistic, paganish, barbaric decisions of the United States Supreme Court?

I’m changing my scheduled topic again tonight. I received the following by an e-mail link from one of my regular providers. The article is from World Magazine, July 12th issue (since the article came from World’s website I don’t know the page number):

“David versus Goliaths

Charity: Lone shareholder cuts away at the business-abortion alliance
Rusty Leonard & Warren Cole Smith

Corporate giving to charity is as old as America itself. Benjamin Franklin was a great organizer of charities—including the nation’s first volunteer fire department and the first charity hospital. Franklin, one of the richest and most prominent men in America, was also an expert at encouraging other business leaders to “dig deep.”

Today, some corporations still “dig deep,” but much of their giving goes to organizations that Franklin could not have imagined. J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., for example, contributed more than $500,000 to Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest performer of abortions, between 1998 and 2006.

But one man, Tom Strobhar, has spent nearly two decades applying the brakes to this corporate social engineering machine. With shareholder activism, Strobhar has had a hand in changing the corporate giving policies of more than 150 companies, essentially depriving Planned Parenthood of donations that would have totaled multimillions of dollars.

The tool of choice for Strobhar, who describes himself as “just a stockbroker from Dayton, Ohio,” is the shareholder resolution. In order to introduce a shareholder resolution, a shareholder must own stock in the company valued at $2,000 or more for at least one year prior to the introduction of the resolution. Since 1991, Strobhar says he has introduced more than 60 such resolutions. He mostly introduces them himself. In some cases, he has written the resolutions for others. ‘Some of these companies are so bad I don’t want to own them, so I find someone who does,’ he said.

The resolutions, Strobhar admits, have little chance of passing. Indeed, none of them have so far. But that doesn’t mean the effort has been futile. AT&T was giving $50,000 a year to Planned Parenthood when Strobhar began his activism at the company. The company had received thousands of letters from customers, but to no avail. It was only when Strobhar threatened the introduction of a shareholder resolution, suggesting that the company was in ‘breach of fiduciary responsibility,’ that AT&T paid attention. Within months, AT&T announced it would no longer contribute to Planned Parenthood. ‘They had received thousands of letters,’ Strobhar said, ‘but working through the shareholder resolution process has a way of focusing their attention.’

General Mills and American Express also stopped giving to Planned Parenthood following shareholder resolutions introduced by Strobhar. But Strobhar said his biggest success was at Berkshire Hathaway, whose legendary leader Warren Buffet is also infamous in pro-life circles. In 2001, 60 percent of the $33.4 million given by the Buffet Foundation went to what Strobhar calls ‘anti-life stuff,’ including Planned Parenthood and Catholics For A Free Choice. Strobhar attended the 2001 annual meeting to protest, and by July 2003 the foundation changed its policy, citing ‘harmful criticism’ directed toward the company. These changes encourage Strobhar. ‘These are big corporations,’ he said. ‘The directors and executives often don’t know what’s going on. That’s the beauty of this process: It educates them, and it makes the executives think about these matters and take responsibility for what their companies are doing. And sometimes, they even change their minds.’

Causing one to wonder: If a single stockbroker from Dayton, Ohio, can change the behavior of Warren Buffet and other corporate titans, what might a concerted, well-funded effort accomplish?”

The MURDER of unborn babies CAN be STOPPED. However, the church MUST be actively involved. The church MUST constantly PRAY. The church MUST BOLDLY be involved in STOPPING these MURDERS.

Love is an action verb. GOD expects Christians to do the WORK of the KINGDOM. Get involved in doing the LORD’S work. It is our calling! If you LOVE GOD, you will do HIS will and HIS work. We have GOD’S power available to us IF we will only ALLOW HIM to work through us! CHRISTIANITY is LOVE (True love is doing that which is right for others according to GOD’S will; it is NOT the false concept of allowing others to sin to please their sinful nature.) and LOVE is active.

“Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t do it, sins.” James 4: 17 (NIV)

“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.” Galatians 6: 7-8 (NIV)
