Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.” ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer

“Every hand you shake,
Every cent you take,
Every vow you break,
Every vote you make,
We’ll be watching you!

Every single day,
Every word you say,
Every game you play,
Every time you stray,
We’ll be watching you!

Oh, can’t you see,
You represent me?
How my wallet aches,
With every vote you make!

Every hand you shake,
Every cent you take,
Every vow you break,
Every vote you make,
We’ll be watching you!

I recall what you said during the race,
The policies you promised to embrace,
Now, it seems like you’re all over the place!
Did your values disappear without a trace?
We keep waiting, watching, hoping, please!”

“If science shows why abortion is wrong, why is the pro-life movement so Christian?
Jonathon van Maren
April 23, 2015

‘Are you guys religious (Should we not be? Do we not have as much right to support an issue as others?my addition)?’ It’s a question every pro-life activist doing educational outreach has heard. The question is always leveled suspiciously, as if the truth of our abortion victim photography is contingent on whether or not pro-life activists believe in God.

The response to this question is simple: Abortion is wrong because it is an act of violence that destroys a human being developing in the womb (It MURDERS a human being that is developing in the womb. And yes, I am a Christian!my addition). On this everyone from the late atheist Christopher Hitchens to the pope can agree. Yes, many of us are Christian, both Protestant and Catholic. But a basic overview of embryology textbooks used in medical schools across Canada and the United States should suffice when trying to determine whether or not the child growing in the womb is, in fact, a human being, and therefore deserves the right to life (I learned that life begins at conception in my freshman high school biology class in a public school!my addition).

But I’m tired of this question. The secular left, glutted with victory, seems to think that asserting someone’s Christian faith disqualifies them as credible human rights activists (They are wrong once more! In fact, being a Christian makes us MORE qualified, not less!my addition). While their contempt and hatred for Christians—excepting those religious quislings who make the right compromises—is well known, the opposite is actually the case. While the secularists would like to try and revise history to claim that the great social reformers of the past were acting based on deeply-held liberal values (The only deeply held valuethe Left has is its agenda of total control!my addition), the fact is that these heroes virtually always acted because of their Christian faith (It only makes sense. Christians are servants of CHRIST!my addition).

William Wilberforce, the great British parliamentarian and abolitionist, was a conservative evangelical who spent his whole life tirelessly working to end the slave trade as well as slavery itself (Note: Slavery was not just in the United States! Slavery was NOT an unique American experience! Slavery was basically worldwide including Indians having other Indians from other tribes as slaves! Slavery still exists today. And in the United States, slavery in the South was supported and promoted by the Democrat Party! The Democrat Party!my addition). He focused on dozens of other issues as well, from rooting out political corruption, alleviating poverty, promoting education, and even beginning a society to prevent the cruel treatment of animals. And why? For the honor and glory of his Creator.

‘Is it not the great end of religion,’ Wilberforce noted, ‘and, in particular, the glory of Christianity, to extinguish the malignant passions; to curb the violence, to control the appetites, and to smooth the asperities of man; to make us compassionate and kind, and forgiving one to another; to make us good husbands, good fathers, good friends; and to render us active and useful in the discharge of the relative social and civil duties?’

Or, as he famously wrote: ‘God Almighty has set before me two Great Objects: the suppression of the Slave Trade and the Reformation of Manners.’

The other abolitionists, too, were Christian. Granville Sharp, one of Wilberforce’s staunchest allies and England’s most dedicated anti-slavery campaigners, was not only a devout Christian but a biblical scholar. Working almost his entire life to free the slaves, when he heard the news on March 25, 1807 that the Act of Abolition had passed (In Great Britainmy addition), his response was to drop to his knees and thank God for the end of the horrific slave trade. Thomas Clarkson, the tireless abolitionist activist, was an ordained deacon. Every member of the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade was, without exception, religious.

From the fiercely religious William Lloyd Garrison, to the renowned ‘President of the Underground Railroad’ Levi Coffin, the American abolitionists also acted out of a deep sense that slavery offended God. Revisionist historians of late have tried to claim that Abraham Lincoln, because he never committed to a denomination, was not a Christian and that his religious beliefs had no impact on his views of slavery (Read his writings, his letters, his correspondence, his speeches!my addition). Those historians can only hold such a position by steadfastly ignoring virtually every speech Lincoln gave. My personal favorite is his Second Inaugural Address, when Lincoln noted that both the North and the South prayed to the same God:

[From: http://www.gettysburg.com/bog/address.htm

The last portion of the Gettysburg Address:

“It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us . . . that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion . . . that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain . . . that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom . . . and that government of the people. . . by the people . . . for the people . . . shall not perish from the earth.” (my use of redmy addition)]

‘It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God’s assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men’s faces; but let us judge not that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered (They were both answered! Sometimes the answer is no to one and yes to the other!my addition); that of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has his own purposes. ‘Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!’ If we shall suppose that American Slavery is one of those offences which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South, this terrible war, as the woe due to those by whom the offence came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a Living God always ascribe to Him? Fondly do we hope fervently do we pray that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue, until all the wealth piled by the bond-man’s two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash, shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said ‘the judgments of the Lord, are true and righteous altogether.’’

Secular historians, and today’s ‘social justice’ activists, simply cannot understand such language and such concepts (Because their goals are self directed for selfish reasons!my addition). And so, they attempt to write the very faith that drove these men to do such wonderful things out of the history books (There are other reasons too! Sinister reasons!my addition).

The best example of this is the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. Because of some of his left-leaning political views, borne out of his raw experiences with impoverished African American communities and systemized injustice, the secular left today hold Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. as a hero who would have been on their side—a ‘progressive’ that would have embraced the excesses of the Sexual Revolution and all the carnage that has resulted from it (Wishful myopic thinking!my addition).

Again, I think they may simply be ignoring virtually everything King wrote, and every speech King delivered. King demanded justice on the basis that all men were created equal in the eyes of God. Hymns, spiritual songs, and Scripture permeated virtually every one of his calls for the end of segregation, from his ‘I Have A Dream’ speech to his beautiful and soaring ‘I Have Been To The Mountaintop’ address. It was always the Christians, Reverend King wrote in his Letter from a Birmingham Jail, who sought to change society for the better:

‘There was a time when the church was very powerfulin the time when the early Christians rejoiced at being deemed worthy to suffer for what they believed. In those days the church was not merely a thermometer that recorded the ideas and principles of popular opinion; it was a thermostat that transformed the mores of society. Whenever the early Christians entered a town, the people in power became disturbed and immediately sought to convict the Christians for being ‘disturbers of the peace’ and ‘outside agitators.’ … By their effort and example they brought an end to such ancient evils as infanticide and gladiatorial contests.’

So when people want to know if pro-life activists are Christian, the answer is yes, most of them—although certainly not all of them—are. In fact, if you want to know why we live in a culture today that has purged itself of many great societal evils, from slavery to segregation, the answer is because of Christianity. Christianity shaped the West, and Christians spent two centuries rooting out injustices that lingered. There is, in fact, no tradition that has such a rich and beautiful history of defending the poor and the afflicted as the Christian tradition (Absolutely true! And when we went away from that, when we started relying on government, the nation began to go downhill! We dont need less Christian involvement! We need much more Christian involvement!my addition).

And what we see today is simply an example of what the great William Wilberforce noted of pre-Victorian England so many years ago. ‘Christianity has been successfully attacked and marginalized,’ he wrote, ‘because those who professed belief were unable to defend the faith from attack, even though its attackers’ arguments were deeply flawed.’”

I have NO doubt that if Christians became actively involved in ending the MURDER of unborn babies it would soon be ended because of the power of the HOLY SPIRIT! And the forces of evil believe that too! That is why they are ALWAYS trying to silence Christians and marginalize them!

Planned MURDERHOOD is the undisputed leader in MURDERING boys and girls in the United States the American holocaust!

Every abortion is MURDER! Everyone!

The abortion/MURDER method used after 13 weeks to MURDER a baby in the womb:

STOP abortion/MURDER NOW!

From: http://www.prolife.com/ABORMETH.html

Dilation and Extraction (D and E): Used after 13 weeks - The cervix is dialated and the unborn child is dismembered with plier-like forceps. Force is needed to pull the baby apart. The instrument is used to seize a leg or other part of the body and then, with a twisting motion, tear it from the babys body. The babys spine is snapped and the skull crushed. After the baby parts are removed, they are reassembled outside the womb to be sure all are removed. Frequently baby parts are left inside the mother’s womb. This can cause serious complications and sometimes death.”

After 13 weeks: The babys limbs are pulled from his/her body! His/her spine is snapped! His/her skull is crushed! And the Left complained about waterboarding prisoners of war? Are you serious!

STOP abortion/MURDER NOW!

Abortion is government sanctioned torture and MURDER!

Life begins at Conception!

Personhood begins with Life!

Having an abortion MURDERS a person!

STOP abortion/MURDER NOW!

Galatians 6: 7-8 (NIV)

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.”

Victory through JESUS the Christ is complete! The question is how many will join the FAMILY of GOD and how many will be lost?

Lets make 2015 a benchmark year in protecting all human life from conception to natural death. It can be done. It will not be done if we do not try, pray, work, and put our faith and trust in GOD, JESUS, and the HOLY SPIRIT and THEIR power!

Planned MURDERHOOD is the most prolific MURDER organization in our nations history! Without question! And the federal government gives it money! And the federal government gives money to worldwide organizations that MURDER unborn babies! Why are we funding MURDER?

2 Corinthians 5: 10 (NIV)

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.”

Romans 8: 28 (NIV)

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
