Obama Would Let Her Die

Was the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit Walk-Out a Win for the U.S.?


PERIOD!

Last week, David Brody of CBN carried Obama's water for him when he said that saying such things amounted to over the top rhetoric. But what is over the top about being as specific as possible in telling the truth? Barack Obama voted in favor of infanticide. End of story. But why does it matter?

In a society that has continued to diminish the value of human life, perhaps Obama believes it won't matter. But for me it is very personal.

Because that little girl, who could have been denied life saving medical care, is named Eliza.

I've held her. I've hugged her. And I've kissed her forehead when she called me "Uncle Kevin."

She is three and half years old, and she is one of the healthiest, happiest, non-disabled children I've ever seen.

See, it turned out that the ultrasound machine and the readings it produced (which in turn had been the primary overriding reason why the abortion suggestion had been made so forcefully) was miscalibrated. Eliza's lungs were perfect, and her parents had a relatively normal delivery. And they have given her a wonderful childhood.

Barack Obama's indiscriminate political pandering may be a good enough reason to pick a running mate in Joe Biden, who openly thinks Obama's not ready to be president. But pandering is not a good enough reason for him to have been willing to let Eliza die. Not nearly good enough realizing now that there never was anything wrong with her. Not good enough at all!

But actually "not good enough" sums up Obama... pretty much... all the way around.

WE NEED GOD'S MERCY IN NOVEMBER
As a born-again Christian I believe that it is up to the Church (the alive, God honoring Church) as a Body of Christ to repent before God on behalf of this Nation and ask for His mercy. He sent Israel a King when they complained about having judges in charge. They wanted a King like everyone else. He sent Saul, and it was the worst nightmare they could imagine. I pray that we do not receive what we deserve, but that we hit our knees and ask a loving God (who still has a purpose for the U.S.) to please forgive our national sins of abortion, and send us a reformer.

There really is no grey.
I have the privilege of going to church with the oldest living male with down syndrome. He is the most amazing person, as is the family who takes care of him.

I am 30 weeks pregnant with our sixth child, (thus 5carbonfootprints is a bit of a misnomer). We had our first ultra sound at about 19 weeks. It indicated that our child might have downs. I love living in a state where the doctor didn't even mention or even allude to an abortion. He knew that it wasn't even a thought that crossed our minds. The second ultra sound at 29 seems to show that everything is fine and the baby is developing normally. We were relieved, but it made no difference to us in the "humanness" of this baby. This baby had human rights the minute it was a human, when it was concieved.


Believeing in "grey" is a cowards way out. It relieves you from having to really believe in anything. I do not believe in grey, only black and white. This gives me and my children stability and strength. What a blessing.
