A London Times report could have pro-choicers looking for a place to hide.

The story investigated “botched” abortions and demonstrated that—to the horror of the British medical establishment—up to 50 babies survive abortion attempts every year. The Times referred to a report published by a government agency titled: “Confidential Enquiry into Maternal and Child Health (CEMACH).” The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, says the Times, requires that babies whom the mother chooses to kill after 21 weeks and six days of gestation must receive an injection of potassium chloride into the heart “before being delivered.” The article states blandly that “in practice, few doctors are willing or able to perform the delicate procedure.” Ironic, is it not, that mothers can “choose” to kill the baby through abortion, but if a man accidentally kills a pregnant woman he can be tried on two counts of homicide. How many malformed children must walk the streets before we recognize that “hands that shed innocent blood” are an abomination to the Lord?

As Saddam’s trial continues, historians reflect back on terror handed down by dictators such as Hitler or Stalin. But the worst mass murderer in history is Mao Tse-Tung. This according to a new report in which R.J. Rummel, a Nobel Peace Prize winning political scientist revised earlier estimates upward to 77 million deaths. During Mao’s reign millions of Chinese people were intentionally starved to death in what has become known as democide (death by government). Interestingly, Mao listed Charles Darwin and his disciple Huxley as his favorite authors. With Darwin’s seed of “survival of the fittest” firmly imbedded in his heart, there is no wonder that Mao’s physician records him saying: “We have so many people we can afford to lose a few.” Now that organic evolution is taught as fact, one wonders how many other people view human life in this fashion?

David Hamilton, a federal judge in Indiana, has ruled that official prayers opening the daily session of the Indiana house must be nondenominational, and may not “advance the beliefs that define the Christian religion.” Hamilton refuses to allow prayers that invoke the name of Jesus Christ or make any other “denominational appeal.” He feels that introducing the name of Christ would violate the U.S. Constitution’s ban on government establishment of religion. Does Hamilton even recognize that the phrase “separation of church and state” is not found in the U.S. Constitution? The phrase originates from a private letter Thomas Jefferson wrote in which he mentioned a “wall of separation.” His original intent was that the government would not interfere with the free practice of the Christian religion. However, the Founding Fathers of the United States would be rolling over in their graves to discover that this phrase is now being used to prevent any public display of God or Christianity. God’s Word indicates that Christ acts as the mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5; Hebrews 4:14-16) and that our petitions are to be made through His name (John 14:13-14, cf. 15:16; 16:23-24). One must wonder what a “politically correct prayer” might sound like. How long until a federal judge decides that prayers to the one true living God advance only certain beliefs and are thus, unconstitutional?

In a related story, Michael Newdow, the man who filed suit to take “one nation under God”

out of the Pledge of Allegiance, is now suing to remove our national motto from our currency. Newdow told the ACLU of Oklahoma that the national motto on U.S. currency is a violation of the separation of church and state. The phrase “In God We Trust” dates back to 1861 when S.P. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury, sent a note to the Director of the Mint in Philadelphia in which he stated: “No nation can be strong except in the strength of God or safe except in His defense. The trust of our people in God should be declared on our national coins.” It would be 1864 before the phrase found its way onto a two-cent coin for the first time in U.S. history. Now atheists want it removed. One solution might simply be if they don’t like the phrase, don’t use the currency! Or maybe they could move to a country that does not have “In God We Trust” as a national motto.
