2 Minutes to Midnight

As I reflected on yesterday's election, the following lyrics from an Iron Maiden song I used to listen to came to mind (yes, I used to be a headbanger!):

2 minutes to midnight;
the hands that threaten doom;
2 minutes to midnight;
to kill the unborn in the womb.

This is perhaps the darkest hour in post-modern history. We must band together like never before to fight for the lives of the unborn children, to save women from physical and emotional harm, to save men from lost fatherhood, to save families from utter ruin, to end the American Holocaust and bring God's blessing back on our country.

At the beginning of the song mentioned above (at least on the version from the "Live after Death" album), the following inspirational words from Winston Churchill are spoken, in reference to the attempted Nazi takeover of Great Britain and all of Europe. I will change the wording a bit to reflect our current challenge in America, as noted by the words in bold (to see the original quote, click here):

We shall go on till the end. We shall fight in our churches. We shall fight in the legislatures and courts. We shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the Lord. We shall defend life what ever the cost may be. We shall fight in our cities and we shall fight in our towns. We shall fight on the sidewalks and in the streets. We shall fight in our homes. We will never surrender.

The Battle for America is about to begin. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that if the American Republic should last a thousand years, men will still say: This was their finest hour.

God bless America, one nation, under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for ALL, born and pre-born!

Freedom of Choice Act

I commented on some of the wording in the 2007 Freedom of Choice Act to make its meaning a bit more clear. The way I see it, if this Act is enacted, which President-Elect Obama has said would be his first act as President, the Government (Federal, State, Local) would be unable to protect its most helpless and endangered citizens of all - the unborn.

SEC. 4. INTERFERENCE WITH REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH PROHIBITED.

(a) Statement of Policy- It is the policy of the United States that every woman has the fundamental right to choose to bear a child, to terminate a pregnancy [why is it a child if you want to bear it, but a pregnancy if you want to kill it? A child is a child no matter how you feel about him or her!] prior to fetal viability, or to terminate a pregnancy [kill a child] after fetal viability when necessary to protect the life or health of the woman [health of the woman includes lifestyle, financial, etc.].

(b) Prohibition of Interference- A government may not--

(1) deny or interfere with a woman's right to choose--
(A) to bear a child;
(B) to terminate a pregnancy [kill a child] prior to viability; or
(C) to terminate a pregnancy [kill a child] after viability where termination is necessary to protect the life or health of the woman; or

(2) discriminate against the exercise of the rights set forth in paragraph (1) in the regulation or provision of benefits, facilities, services, or information [i.e., cannot establish laws or provide funding for anything that might limit a woman's access to abortion - parental notification, required waiting period, crisis pregnancy centers, partial-birth abortion restrictions, etc.].


(c) Civil Action- An individual aggrieved by a violation of this section may obtain appropriate relief (including relief against a government) in a civil action.
