Abortion
I've written on this before and referenced Peggy Noonan's great summary of the bottom line on "choice" -- that those who crave choice in abortion fail to realize that their "choice" was made in the back seat of the car. Personal liberty was choosing who they'd sleep with - not in the murder of the "mistake". The mistake was sex outside of marriage...not the fetus. As Noonan says, "Anyone who has gone to drugstore on Friday night to buy condoms knows when life begins - it begins at conception..."

John Piper has a great talk on his website on abortion www.desiringgod.org. It is very strong especially towards Barack Obama. He says in the talk, "On the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, President Obama said, “We are reminded that this decision not only protects women’s health and reproductive freedom, but stands for a broader principle: that government should not intrude on our most private family matters.”

NO Mr President. You aren't "protecting" women. He is authorizing the destruction of 500,000 little women every year. He isn't protecting "reproductive freedom", he is authorizing the destruction of freedom for more than 1 million babies in the US every year. Killing our children is killing our children no matter how many times you say over and over that this is "a private family matter"...it isn't a private family matter. It is murder. It is ugly. It is painful.

Obama said on the campaign trail that if one of his daughters got pregnant - he "would not them punished because of an unwanted pregnancy". Piper drives home hard at this point.

That isn't really what Obama wants. He doesn't really want his daughters having "reproductive freedom". He wants them chaste, holy, married, healthy, bearing children not carrying around with condoms in their purse. He doesn't really want them to be sexually free.

Be courageous Mr. Obama. You don't have to be the lap-dog of those around you. You can stand for your daughters. You can fight for them. God can change your heart.

Let us as believers commit to prayer for a change of heart in Mr. Obama. His daughters are beautiful, bright, optimistic children. They are safe...at this point. But if Daddy equips them with condoms and sets them out the door at 15 to find their sexual freedom, you and I know what will happen - they will reap what they sow.

Sexual freedom is a lie. IT IS A LIE. Satan lures us down that path to chase what feels good, explore our sexuality, etc. but we know that this path is chock full of destruction and pain. 1 million babies are aborted in the US every year. 50 million have been aborted since Roe v. Wade was passed. That is 50 million babies gone but even more painful is the untold price that act has on the millions of mothers. They never escape the pain of abortion. The act stays with them as a curse for life.

The path of life is narrow but obeying God and walking with God down the path of life will protect us. John 10:10 - The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy but I have come that they may have LIFE and have it abundantly.

LIFE. LIFE. Not abortion. Not death but LIFE. The path of this world is death and destruction. But the path of the Great Liberator is freedom. Freedom.

Soar!
