MICHIGAN PASSES ABORTION OPT-OUT!!!

By a vote of 62-46 in the House, and 27-11 in the Senate, Michigan has passed the abortion opt-out!!! It failed to achieve a 2/3 majority by just a few votes, so it goes into effect 90 days after the close of this legislative session instead of taking immediate effect.

This vote makes Michigan the 24th state to opt-out of mandatory abortion coverage, meaning that women who desire such coverage must elect to receive it and pay for it themselves, instead of forcing EVERY insurance customer to pay for a medical procedure that is reprehensible morally and Biblically.

THANK YOU, LORD!!!

Iowa Gubernatorial Candidates Participate in "Prayer" of Thanks for Abortion.....

This show us how far we have fallen as a nation. This "prayer," which thanks God for abortion, took place in a public forum in Iowa last week, and included two gubernatorial candidates.

Text from the "prayer" includes the following:

“We give thanks, oh Lord, for the doctors, both current and future, who provide quality abortion care.”

“We pray for increased financial support for low-income women to access contraception, abortion and childcare.”

“Today, we pray for women in developing nations, that they may know the power of self-determination. May they have access to employment, education, birth control and abortion.”

“We pray for women who have been made afraid of their own power by their materialistic religion. May they learn to reject fear and live bravely.”

“Today we pray for the families who have chosen. May they know the blessing of choice.”

Beginning with Genesis 1:26-27, the Bible clearly teaches that we are created in the image of God:

"Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.'

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."

Psalm 139:13-16 teaches us that, from conception, we are created, molded by God: 

"For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them."

This is not a prayer that is even heard by the God of the Bible, even though I am certain that it absolutely fills the god of this world (Satan) with absolute glee.

It is time for the Church to rise up, to hold up the Standard given to us by God HImself. It is time for the Church to confess its sins in enabling this horrific crime to continue, in sending people like this to our government in the first place.

MI HB 4714, Expanding Medicaid and Paving the Way for Obamacare....

I emailed the following letter the the state senator from my congressional district, Sen. Dave Hildenbrand:

Senator,

I called your office and spoke with your administrative assistant a few minutes ago.  I am urging you to vote against HB 4714, the expansion of medicaid.  We need to be working to de-fund and repeal Obamacare, not pave the way for it - which is exactly what the required medicaid expansion will  do.  We are just now beginning to see the state turn around financially; this expansion has the potential to be a HUGE setback for us as we are left holding the financial bag.

From the Republican platform:

"Repeal ObamaCare; it is an attack on our Constitution The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act--Obamacare--was never really about healthcare, though its impact upon the nation's health is disastrous. From its start, it was about power, the expansion of government control over one sixth of our economy, and resulted in an attack on our Constitution, by requiring that U.S. citizens purchase health insurance. We agree with the four dissenting justices of the Supreme Court: "In our view the entire Act before us is invalid in its entirety." It was the high-water mark of an outdated liberalism, the latest attempt to impose upon Americans a euro-style bureaucracy to manage all aspects of their lives. Obamacare has been struck down in the court of public opinion. It would tremendously expand Medicaid without significant reform, leaving the States to assume unsustainable financial burdens. If fully implemented, it could not function; and Republican victories in the November elections will guarantee that it is never implemented."Source: 2012 Republican Party Platform , Aug 27, 2012

I turns out that Republican victories did NOT guarantee that it would not be implemented; to the contrary, Republicans, including our esteemed governor, have been at the FOREFRONT of its expansion.

PLEASE vote against HB4714.

H.R. 1005: Defund Obamacare Act...

I support H.R. 1005, Defund Obamacare Act. Obamacare will actually force more people who are currently insured into the ranks of the uninsured, it will result in a net loss of over 70,000 doctors, and it is already resulting in the underemployment of our nation's workers as employers cut hours to slide under the Obamacare threshold. Not to mention INCREASING the size of the IRS (NEVER a good thing!).

If you haven't contacted your representative to encourage them to fully support this legislation, take a moment to do so now.

This is a starting point.  We need to take it to the next step and repeal this travesty in its entirety.  Tell Pelosi, "We HAVE read it, we HAVE found out what's in it, AND WE DON'T WANT IT!"
