My Christian Diary

From having followed this issue fairly closely, I believe that both of the articles you are pointing to are misrepresenting what President Obama is doing.

On the first story, President Obama has listed the ban on providing funding to 'international groups that promote or perform abortions'. This is actually very different from funding abortions.

Essentially, the ban that he lifted banned any funding to any medical practitioner that so much as suggests that a person consider an abortion. The funding that was cut was funding that was providing basic health care.

To suggest that we not allow doctors to practice ANY medicine because they disagree with us on one particular issue, I believe is unChristian.

In fact, I believe that one of the best ways to prevent abortions is making sure that young women and men understand sexuality and what can happen when they are promiscuous. Unfortunately, the ban on funding to groups that promote abortions ended up in cutting funding to groups that help young women and men understand the effects of the sexuality, and may actually have increased abortions as a result.

The other article is also horribly slanted and inaccurate as well. President Obama is not trying to 'mandate all medical doctors and nurses to perform abortions'. Nor is he requiring them to participate in "physician-assisted suicide, [or] human cloning".

The rule that President Obama did away with prohibits recipients of federal money from taking action against health care workers who refuse to do what they were hired to do.

As a person who has managed employees in the past, I don't want the Government getting in the way of the requirements I place on my workers. If they are unwilling to do the job I've hired them to do, I should be able to fire them.

We do need to work together to try and stop abortions. However, accusing out President of an 'infatuation for mass murder' is unlikely to help bring an end to abortions.

So, I will continue to pray for our president. I will continue to pray for the youth of our country, and I will continue to pray for those who use words that inflame instead of help in trying to end abortions.

It’s so nice site. We love to see more on this site. Keep on updating… MonkAreYou Bali *hkhj

It's so important for people to pray for their leaders - the good ones and the bad ones. We can't forget that God has put who He wants in power and He has a reason for it all.

It's truly sad to think about all of the lives that have been lost over the years to abortion. In fact, it's staggering.

Orient-Lodge,
Thank you for visiting, and I appreciate your comment.

I am deeply sorry if I came across rude, I never meant to. I always want to shine JESUS' love to everyone.

The pushing for abortions is a sore spot for me. I had a moment, I am human, but I stand behind my article 100%. I too, have been following this all for some time now.

I know that Obama has paved the way for overseas abortions by lifting the ban on funding overseas abortions. Obama is without question, the most aggressively pro-abortion president in the history of our nation, and tragically, we now also have the most pro-abortion Congress.

Obama is pushing for FOCA (Freedon Of Choice Act) to be passed. If so, it would nullify over 580 federal, state and local laws that the pro-life movement has worked so hard to pass these several decades.

If FOCA is passed it will cancel:
Partial birth abortion bans,
The Hyde Amendment (restricting taxpayer funding of abortions),
Women's right to know (informed consent)laws,
Waiting periods,
Parental consent and notification laws,
Bans on abortion after viability (when a child can survive outside the womb),
State and federal conscience clauses for individual and institutional healthcare providers who decline to participate in abortions.

So yes, Obama has a serious abortion issue!

BUT...

I too, pray for Obama, but I also pray for all the girls/women and mudered babies that will be affected.

Again, I am sorry if I came across rude, it was never meant to be rude.

GOD Bless You!

Monk,
Thank you for your comment! I hope you come back and visit again soon.

GOD Bless You!

Rita,
Yes, we must pray for all the leaders all over the World. Even when it is hard to pray for someone who is vile and evil, but you are right, GOD is in total control over it all. HE has allowed it all to come to pass. It is all Biblical. It is going to get worse before JESUS' return.

I am looking forward to HIM coming and ending the all the suffering.

I hope you will come and visit again soon.

GOD Bless You!
