Man Tricks Girlfriend Into Taking Abortion Pill, But Why The Murder Charge?

So this guy is charged with murder for allegedly tricking his girlfriend into taking an abortion pill. He apparently switched the pills inside her bottle of prescription drug with the abortion pills after she refused to abort the baby at his insistence. My question is why the murder charge? If the fetus is not viable in the eyes of the court in the case of an abortion with a consenting woman, what changes it to viable in the case of a non-consenting woman?

My point: it’s either a human being, or it isn’t. The differentiation between whether the woman wants the child or not doesn’t change the fact that it is a living person being destroyed in the most inhumane way.  Why else would Kermit Gosnell have to sever the spines of abortion survivors or shove their bodies into jars of poison if they were not living?!

These morbid scenarios occur largely because we have allowed them to.  Premarital sex has become the norm, and with it abortion as it destroys 1/3 of children born in the United States.  The outrage regarding these crimes has been stifled by a willfully silent media, and a largely uninterested public.  How long will the atrocity of human sacrifice to the god of convenience to continue? As long as we let it.

4 Things I Learned from the Benghazi Hearing

So these are the 4 things I learned from watching the Benghazi hearing.

1. Ambassador Stevens called former deputy chief of mission in Libya Gregory Hicks saying that the Embassy was “under attack” just before the cell phone call was disrupted.

2. Ambassador Stevens was taken to an enemy hospital.

3. The crime scene was not secured and the FBI was not allowed to go in for 17 days. This was the direct result of UN Ambassador from the US Susan Rice and her statement that the attack was actually a protest over an anti-Muslim YouTube video.  She essentially called the president of Libya a liar for calling the incident a terror attack, embarrassing and infuriating him.

4. Lieutenant Colonel Gibson is the man that knows who gave the order to stand down during the attack.

An AWESOME Story

Once upon a time there was an 80s Christian rock band called Whiteheart.  During their early years, the band members struggled to find a lead singer.  One guy quit, another just didn’t fit, still another backslid, and so on.  At the end of a tumultuous four years they started giving auditions again. Then one day they found their tour bus driver singing and dancing to one of their songs.  His name was Rick Florian.

(Whiteheart’s most successful albums were produced with Florian as the lead singer. Be sure to take a listen here.)

How Liberals Argue

The way liberals argue about gun control is to refer to the gun, not the person, as the criminal. This gives them emotional license to regulate and ban guns or magazines however they want, because anyone in favor of the gun rights is therefore in favor of the criminal. This tactic of demonizing and disregarding a political argument is designed to effectively shut down all opposition to liberal perspectives on the issues.  If you identify, for example, the conservative position with the criminal’s position, you’ll never even consider their argument for fear you’ll be identified with the criminal.

This is similar to the gay marriage argument.  Liberals refer to gay marriage as a civil right, therefore by that definition if you are against gay marriage you are against a civil right.  This again gives them license to treat you and your arguments as bigoted, subhuman, and not deserving of any kind of respect or consideration.  This results–intentionally–in scaring away all who might consider the position against gay marriage, but fear to be identified with an idea that is associated with a heinous social sin.

So how do you successfully debate with someone using this kind of tactic?  Conservatives have to define the issue right from the beginning. Guns do not commit crimes, people do.  Therefore, the argument for gun rights is not to be associated with the side of the criminal. Likewise, gay marriage is not a civil right, it is a lifestyle choice.  Therefore, to be against the gay lifestyle is no more heinous than being against any other lifestyle such as that of a smoker or a vegetarian. Conservatives need to redefine the premise in order to win the argument, otherwise real political debates will cease to exist.

The Real Unemployment Rate

So for those of you that either don’t do research, or just don’t care, the unemployment rate that the news gives us is Need Workcalled U3, which consists of those people who are on unemployment.  This does not include those who have run out of unemployment benefits but are still unemployed, or those who are working part time due to the economic downturn.  The U6 version of the unemployment covers ALL of these demographics.  Back when the U3 unemployment was at 9.0, U6 was at 16.2. When U3 was at 8.6, U6 was at 15.6.  Now that the media is telling us that the U3 unemployment rate is 6.7 we must realize that the real unemployment rate is in fact U6 13.1.

While the media will tell you that the drop in unemployment is due to an increase in jobs, this is only a half truth.  Many of the jobs that were once a part of the United States have now been outsourced to other countries (meaning they’re not here anymore).  This decreases the size of the United States’ economy and makes available jobs more scarce.

Finally, let us not forget that a whopping 92 million workers have left the US labor force, a number not seen since 1979 and the days of the miserable Carter administration. While certain politicians and media (including Fox News) would like you to believe that the economy has gotten better, the facts prove that it is actually getting worse.

An Old Testament Look at Homosexuality

Far too frequently do I hear people advocating the atrocity of homosexual marriage. Shockingly, 00384794many of these gay rights activists also claim to be Christians. These are people that we sit next to in church, who claim to read the Bible and are seen doing what would seem to be “Christian” things.

These so called “Christian” gay rights activists seem to interpret God’s love as tolerance for anything that we do. To them this includes tolerance of non-Biblical lifestyles that other so called believers and non-believers may lead.

This belief is diametrically opposite to what the Bible really says concerning homosexuality and any other ungodly lifestyle for that matter. Genesis 13:13 states that, “[…] the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the Lord.” Scrolling down to Genesis 19:5-7 we find that among their many sins was homosexuality. “They called to Lot, ‘Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.’ Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him and said, ‘No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing.'” Verses 24-25 outline Sodom and its sister city Gomorrah’s punishment. “Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the Lord out of the heavens. Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land.” Obviously, God is not “tolerant” of sinful lifestyles.

So how should Christians treat gay rights activists? Well how would you treat anyone who is about to burn their hand on a stove? Warn them of what they are doing before it is too late. The best way you can help someone is by telling them the truth.

“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32
