Freedom of Choice?
This past weekend I spent time at a Right to Life banquet and a Luncheon. Friday was the banquet. The speaker was excellent and inspiring. It made me think of how little I support the Right to Life. I rarely do anything to defend the unborn baby. I am apathetic or maybe in this case the better word is pathetic. There were two teenagers that gave their oratory speeches for the Right to Life. It was very moving to hear these young women defend the life of the unborn child.
The luncheon was at a pizza place on Sunday and they had the #1 winner for the state of Indiana in the oratory competition on speaking about Right to Life issues. She is 17 years old and had a very fine speech on the evils of abortion. It is inspiring to have young adults speaking this way and even more so defending helpless humans.
The one thing that appalled me was the discussion of making doctors who object to abortion perform them. Thus leaving them no choice but to violate the law of God and conscience or be removed as a doctor by the law of the land. The so called land of the free called the US Government. FOCA - The Freedom of Choice Act that President Obama wants to sign and Mrs Hilary Rodman Clinton is for is about protecting the right of the mother of an unborn child to choose death for that child; it does not protect the right of a doctor to choose life for that same unborn child. It seems to me that there is the double standard. One group of people get to have the freedom to make their choice and another group of people get no freedom of theirs'. And I am not even talking about the unborn child's choice which is never asked for. They are the victim more so then the uniformed mother who is getting the abortion.
Perhaps we should change FOCA to FOCAFTSF - Freedom of Choice Act for the Select Few. The select few are really those who choose fun and pleasure over responsibility for helpless humans who need them. Again it is a choice of death. We really need to wake up and fight this culture of death. WE MUST PROTECT THE UNBORN.

Most pro-lifers aren't really involved in the movement. We're just thankful that there are others willing to do something to stand up for the unborn.
And on something a little less serious - that is Hillary Rodham "The only real reason I am Secretary of State after being Senator from New York is because my husband, that lying, cheating pig, was president and the new guy wanted to shut me up" Clinton.
You make a good point. Most of us are not equipped or called by God to fight this fight. SOme of us are called to fight a different battle for the church.
