Obama's final solution for pro-life

Three years ago, when I moved from Europe to the United States, one of the aspects of the political scene here that gave me much hope was the ongoing debate that still raged over abortion. It's an issue that has long been laid to rest on the continent where you won't find a party running on a pro-life platform.

That might all be set to change here in America, if we are to believe the promises Obama made to Planned Parenthood before being elected. He said "we're tired of arguing about the same old stuff", and blamed the anti-abortion crowd of inciting a "culture war" that's "so nineties".

His final solution to end this public debate is to promise to sign the Freedom of Choice Act which would eliminate every restriction on abortion nationwide.



It's alarming that someone who believes they have the right as President to finally end the debate on abortion, does not think the person who fills the most powerful position in America is paid enough to make a judgement on when life begins.



But, I guess it's not the first time Obama has ended a debate without all the facts on his side, and yet has managed to prevail. Amazing.

I recommend signing the Fight FOCA petition if you care.

Your church or ministry could be next

About a year ago I allowed my wife to talk me into going to one of those dreaded marriage seminars that churches like to host from time to time. I came in prepared to have my discomfort index sharply appreciated, but the only pain I was forced to endure was in my sides (no, not my wife poking me) from all the laughter. The couple that presented the seminar, Drs Les & Leslie Parrott , hit home some really insightful points with no shortage of humour. I mean, if you can't laugh about your marriage, who can? Aside from doing seminars and writing books, this couple also helped create the eHarmony Marriage website to help couples build stronger relationships. Getting to my point, I was shocked to learn today that eHarmony has been forced, as a result of a lawsuit claiming sexual discrimination against homosexuals, to start an online dating service for gays and lesbians. See Foxnews' article by Josh Miller . There's a very real threat out there from those that seek not pure...

Just where do Obama's loyalties lie?

Sometimes, actions really do speak louder than words. If Obama's body language during his recent trip to the UK is anything to go by then we should all be very worried as to where his loyalties really lie. Here he is meeting the Christian Queen of England: And here he is meeting the Muslim King of Saudi Arabia: Did you see him bow to the Queen? No. Think about it.

Reclaiming Hallowed All Saints Day

Origins of All Saints Day  All Saints Day, originally known as the Feast of All Martyrs, began after the legalization of Christianity in 313 A.D. This significant day was established to honor the numerous Christian martyrs who perished during the reign of Emperor Diocletian (284-305 A.D.). Initially celebrated in both the Eastern and Western parts of Christianity, the day was observed after Easter or Pentecost and, in some traditions, on May 13.  Between the eighth and ninth centuries, the date was universally changed to November 1 to expand the feast to include all saints. The rationale was that there were simply not enough days in the year to honor all the slain Christians and departed saints. Hence, a day was set aside to honor them all—Hallowed All Saints Day. This festival allowed devout Christians to go to church on a particular day of the year to learn about and celebrate the lives of great Christian leaders.  The Emergence of Halloween  The celebration of Hal...
