American Values, government's purpose, pro-debt reduction, pro-Israel, Pro-Life, pro-marriage, pro-work

Who will I vote for?

via Susan Jane Griggs-Peterman

  • I will vote for the most pro-life candidate, because God hates the shedding of innocent blood (Prov.6:17).
  • I will vote for the most pro-Israel candidate, because God blesses those who bless Israel and curses those who don’t (Gen.12:3).
  • I will vote for the most pro-debt reduction candidate, because the borrower is servant to the lender (Prov.22:7).
  • I will vote for the most pro-work candidate because God says if a man does not work, let him not eat (2 Thes. 3:10).
  • I will vote for the most pro-marriage candidate, because God is for marriage as defined in Genesis 2:24.
  • I will vote for the candidate who most closely believes government’s purpose is to reward the good and punish the evil (Romans 13).
  • I will vote based as close as I can on God’s Word (2 Tim.3:16), knowing that whoever gets elected, God is the one who puts all men in authority (Dan. 2:21).

I did not write this post. Rather, I found it on facebook. Go figure! I do, however, share the convictions of this Patriot, and pray there are many, many others out there who share the same sentiments and values. I would only add …

  • I will vote for the candidate who is most strongly Pro-Constitution because that also means he is the most Pro-Freedom candidate.
  • I will vote for the man who is the most Pro-Morality candidate because we know virtue is necessary to establish & sustain personal freedom. Character really is indicative of a genuine leader.

THESE are American values!

The Bible, Jesus and LIFE – Choice

Author of Life, breath of life, Dr. Solomon's Decision, life begins at conception, Pro-choice, Pro-Life, Roe v Wade

Infanticide is grotesque and is beyond any remote acceptable human behavior.

The Bible, Jesus and LIFE

From a series on Biblical issues in Public policy

It’s been nearly 40 years since Roe v Wade, and one might think the issue had been settled, but for the constant simmer of indignation among those who believe life begins at conception. The Bible is my ultimate authority on this, and every issue on life, and though some may argue that it is outdated or old-fashioned, until someone proves something else to be better, I’ll stick with what I know to be true. If you have a scripture that is contrary to this, please feel free to share it below that we may debate the issue.

    On that note, the Bible says in Gen 2: 7 (NKJV) “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.” God is the Author of Life. There is no life outside of him.

    Paul, when separating “religion” from Christ, explained in Acts 17: 24 “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. 26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. 27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. 28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’

  • President Barack Obama supports abortion rights. And his health care law requires contraceptives to be available for free for women in workplace health plans. Even more extreme, there is some debate whether President Obama supports Infanticide.

  • Dr Solomon’s Decision – a story of Life (click the pic for story)

  • Gov Romney has been endorsed by Dr John Willke. “The doctor (Dr John Willke) known as the founder of the pro-life movement has endorsed former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney in his bid for the Republican presidential nomination…

    “Unlike other candidates who only speak to the importance of confronting the major social issues of the day, Governor Romney has a record of action in defending life,” Dr. Willke said. “Every decision he made as governor was on the side of life. I know he will be the strong pro-life president we need in the White House, Governor Romney is the only candidate who can lead our pro-life and pro-family conservative movement to victory in 2008.”…

    Romney says “I am pro-life and believe that abortion should be limited to only instances of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother.

    “I support the reversal of Roe v. Wade, because it is bad law and bad medicine. Roe was a misguided ruling that was a result of a small group of activist federal judges legislating from the bench.”

Abortion should not be used as a means of contraception. There are plenty of other methods that work. One a life is conceived, it is a life! There are millions of couples waiting for babies.


    Matthew 7: 1 – 5 says “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

What most non-believers fail to comprehend is that those of us who hold life sacred understand that life begins at conception. An attacker who kills a pregnant woman is guilty of two lives. Everything essential to the adult human being is present in that fertilized egg as it adhere’s to the mother’s womb. It is a child. Unborn, yes, but a child. ALL life is sacred! Unborn, ill, weak, old … all are sacred lives which must be protected. It is our responsibility to guard the lives of these who are unable to protect themselves. Is that not what Jesus taught?

Abortion supporters argue it’s the woman’s choice because it’s her body. Logic says, she made her choice (unless raped or in a medical emergency), and must take responsibility for her choice and do the adult thing. The baby isn’t able to voice his or her choice, but it should be assumed they choose LIFE! There are millions of happy and productive adults who started life … unexpectantly, but their mom’s allowed them LIFE. How many do you know?

Dr Solomon’s Decision

Obama and Infanticide

Born Alive Infant Protection Act, Pro-choice, Pro-Life

Obama and Infanticide

By Jeremy Pierce on February 22, 2008

Barack Obama’s opposition as an Illinois State Senator to the Born Alive Infant Protection Act has been making the rounds, with a lot of people overstating their case on both sides. Some conservatives are taking this as a sign that Obama thinks infanticide is morally ok, and some liberals are acting as if his approach is what any supporter of keeping abortion legal before viability should say. I’m not sure either is true, but I’m also not sure this reflects well on Obama.

Here is the law. It says that if a baby is born alive, whether by intended delivery or by failed abortion, it is legally a person, a human being, a child, and an individual. It counts as born alive only if it is completely removed from the mother (ignoring an umbilical cord connection, which does not count as a sufficient connection according to this law). Partial-birth abortion is thus not ruled out, because a partial birth is not a complete removal of the fetus. As long as the birth has not fully taken place, this law threatens no actual abortion rights.

Obama’s reason for not supporting this ban is not because he thinks it’s ok to kill a born fetus. As far as he’s said, he does not actually support infanticide (and he didn’t vote against the law; he just voted present, although that in itself was part of a strategy devised by Planned Parenthood of Illinois to protect pro-choice politicians from voters seeing how pro-choice they are). For his actual words, see comment 9 here. What he says is that he worries about the logic. Here is what seems to me to be his argument:

    1. The Supreme Court has declared laws banning abortion before viability to be unconstitutional.
    2. There is no difference between the moral status of a fetus inside its mother before viability and the moral status of a born baby at the same developmental stage.
    3. Therefore, banning the killing of a born baby at this stage is morally tantamount to banning abortion at a pre-viability stage. (from 2)
    4. Therefore, the law is unconstitutional. (from 1 and 3)

This argument does not amount to supporting infanticide morally. It is merely an argument based on the constitutional issue. According to Supreme Court precedent, this law is unconstitutional, and thus it’s pointless to pass it. He gives no moral argument against the ban, just a pragmatic one. So from this speech alone it’s impossible to get any clear support for infanticide.

Nevertheless, I think this is a terrible argument. The first premise is clearly true. I would argue that the second is also true. I see no difference in the intrinsic moral status of the fetus merely because it is contained within someone or is separate. However, I don’t think 1 and 3 guarantee 4. There’s no legal reason why morally inconsistent laws can’t occur. You can ban something that’s morally equivalent to something else that’s unconstitutional to ban, as long as the first thing isn’t unconstitutional to ban. But the real problem I have with the argument is his inference from 2 to 3.

The standard pro-choice argument is not that a mother has a right to kill a fetus growing within her. Only the most extreme abortion-choice proponents hold such a view. The standard view is that a woman’s right to control her body is morally more important than whatever rights a fetus might have. That argument allows for a fetus to have some sort of moral status such that killing it would be prima facie wrong, even if the bodily rights of the mother outweigh that. What this means is that the standard pro-choice argument does not accord a mother the right to the death of the fetus. If it survives removal, her rights have been satisfied. That means the moral status of the fetus is what kicks in to determine what you should do in such a case, and this law settles that question. It does not threaten the woman’s bodily rights, at least not according to the standard justification of abortion rights.

What this tells us about Obama is that he probably doesn’t hold to the standard justification for abortion rights. If he thinks 3 follows from 2, then he must think a mother actually has a right to the death of the fetus growing within her, even if it’s born. If he thinks the moral status of the fetus is what justifies keeping abortion legal, then he must think the pre-viable fetus has no moral status and thus a born pre-viable fetus has no moral status. So the right to expulsion isn’t what gives the right to abortion. What gives that right, on Obama’s view, is the utter lack of moral status of a human organism halfway through its uterine development.

Now this is a view that some people have. Mary Anne Warren has a paper defending the view that infants born at full term have no intrinsic moral status. She gives other reasons to oppose infanticide, but she doesn’t base those on moral status of the fetus. Peter Singer and Michael Tooley actually defend infanticide as morally permissible. But these views are extremely radical. Obama’s view (as far as we see here) may not be as radical as Warren’s, never mind Tooley and Singer’s, but I think it’s still far more radical than the view of the majority that supports pre-viability abortion rights.

The U.S. Senate voted 98-0 in favor of a law virtually identical to this one (with the only exception being a clause that makes it explicit that this law doesn’t change any legal status of pre-born fetuses). Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) gave a floor speech explaining why no pro-choice Democrat should worry about such a bill undermining or conflicting with the Supreme Court’s guarantee of abortion rights. Hillary Clinton was among the 98 Senators who voted yes. No senators voted no. Yet Barack Obama refused several times to sign on to what a unanimous U.S. Senate was willing to pass. So I think this is a very good example of how far to the left Obama really is despite the unfounded sense that so many people have of his being a moderate. > > > READ MORE

NOTE: If this were the ONLY issue, it’s still more than enough reason to vote Obama OUT November 6th, 2012! Don’t be late!
