MURDER and homosexuality in the U.S. military


I received a comment on my post from the other day entitled “Morton Secular Progressive and the MURDER of UNBORN BABIES.” I was planning on beginning to respond to that comment tonight. However, I received two e-mails that are time sensitive so I am pushing back the posts on that comment until at least tomorrow. I have not checked out the links for tonight’s post and plan to do further checking on the information provided in the second e-mail. I may post about the second e-mail before I deal with the comment depending upon what I find out tonight. The first e-mail:

“U.S. Senate seeks to push abortion and homosexual agenda onto our Military!
June 16, 2010”

“Three weeks ago, Armed Services chiefs General Casey (Army), General Conway (Marines), Admiral Roughead (Navy) and General Schwartz (Air Force) sent letters to Congress asking Members to wait and not show disrespect for our troops by reversing the current policy of not allowing homosexuals to serve in the military. Two hundred thirty-four Representatives ignored that plea from our most senior military leaders and added language repealing the ban on homosexuals in the Armed Forces to the annual legislation that funds our troops. The U.S. Senate is now poised to do the same.

Additionally, Democrats have attached language to that same Defense funding bill that effectively would turn our military medical facilities into abortion clinics and force American taxpayers to underwrite the use of military facilities, the procurement of additional equipment, and the use of needed military personnel to perform abortions.

American Armed Forces leaders understand the reason our military exists: to protect our nation and to win wars. However, in the middle of two conflicts essential to our national security, President Obama and the Democratic leadership have decided to use our military as a laboratory for their liberal social policies, regardless how they affect our fighting strength, recruitment or readiness.

Thanks to your help, we have gathered 90,000 signatures and need only 10,000 to reach our goal of 100,000 before we present them to Senate leaders live during a national FRC webcast this coming Tuesday, June 22.

Thank you for your signature—and now please send the petition to at least ten of your friends so that they may tell Congress to keep the law that says homosexuality is incompatible with military service, and oppose efforts to use our Armed Forces to advance the homosexual agenda.

We are only 10,000 signatures away from our goal of 100,000! Please share the petition with at least 10 of your friends.

Sincerely,

Tony Perkins
President

P.S. Please forward this email to as many friends as possible.”

“Senate Committee Votes to Allow Abortions in Military Facilities

The U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee recently voted to strike down a longstanding law barring military medical personnel or facilities from participating in abortions except when the life of the mother is at risk, or when the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest. Click here to read a special report on the AUL Blog by our Staff Counsel Anna Franzonello, giving details about this new effort to direct taxpayer dollars toward ending the lives of the unborn.”
