I was watching an interview a Fox news person was doing at one of the Inaugural Balls with a T.V. actress. The news person ask for the actress's feelings of about Barack Obama becoming the 44th President. Then she asked what one thing she hoped Obama would do immediately by executive order the next day?<BR/><BR/>The actress said something like this: "oh, there is such kindness in the air, everyone is so happy.<BR/><BR/>Then she said something like this:<BR/><BR/>"I would want the President to rescind President Bush's executive order prohibiting U.S. federal dollars being spent on abortions in foreign countries permitting the FOCA to be reinstated!"<BR/><BR/>That is about as stupid as the bumper stickers on a car I was driving behind. One said, "save" the whales while the other said, "I'm pro-choice", it's my own damn buisness what I do with my body!<BR/><BR/>It still remains true that the most deadly place on earth is a mother's womb, "6,000" abortions a day!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27391906.post-35519563227067391472009-01-22T15:35:00.000-08:002009-01-22T15:35:00.000-08:00Seth,Sensitive statement, particularly the last fe...Seth,<BR/><BR/>Sensitive statement, particularly the last few paragraphs about how to treat discussion about this issue. Thank you for posting it.<BR/><BR/>I did cringe at one point though. <BR/><BR/><I>we must pray that Obama comes to faith in Jesus Christ</I><BR/><BR/>I would suggest this may bee a moot prayer. Obama seems to have a faith, and he seems to declare it as a faith in Jesus. That he supports policy that does not fit with that faith doesn't disqualify him for having faith. <BR/><BR/>Even Peter, inspired writer of some of our scriptures, had to be admonished by Paul for 'unchristian behaviour' when at one point Peter seperated himself from Gentile believers. His faith in Jesus was not dismissed because of support for a policy that does not fit that faith. <BR/><BR/>Better to pray, as you so elegantly went on to say, for The President to be able to hear God's voice in this and to act accordingly. <BR/><BR/>It will be tough for him. He must weigh up the missionary's tension between what is realisable and what is ideal. He'll have to take into account how much political credibility he has, and whether to use up his political 'points' on this issue, or keep them to fight a different battle in his political vision for the US (like the withdrawal from Iraq, or health care reform, whaterver form that ends up taking.<BR/><BR/>I know I'll be praying for him even though I'm not in or of the US. And thanks to you again for taking the time to write the post in the first place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
