Life-Created and Consecrated

IN THE WOMB

GOD's PURPOSES ESTABLISHED IN THE WOMB

"Now the LORD has spoken who formed me as his servant from the womb, that Jacob may be brought back to him and Israel gathered to him" Isaiah 49

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. Psalms 139

The Book of Judges:

There was a certain man from Zorah, of the clan of the Danites,whose name was Manoah. His wife was barren and had borne no children. An angel of the LORD appeared to the woman and said to her,“Though you are barren and have had no children,yet you will conceive and bear a son. Now, then, be careful to take no wine or strong drink and to eat nothing unclean. As for the son you will conceive and bear, no razor shall touch his head, for this boy is to be consecrated to God from the womb. It is he who will begin the deliverance of Israel from the power of the Philistines.” The woman went and told her husband, “A man of God came to me; he had the appearance of an angel of God, terrible indeed. I did not ask him where he came from, nor did he tell me his name. But he said to me, ‘You will be with child and will bear a son. So take neither wine nor strong drink, and eat nothing unclean. For the boy shall be consecrated to God from the womb, until the day of his death.’” The woman bore a son and named him Samson. The boy grew up and the LORD blessed him; the Spirit of the LORD stirred him.

The angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary. And coming to her, he said,“Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you.” But she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be.

Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his Kingdom there will be no end.”

But Mary said to the angel,“How can this be, since I have no relations with a man?”And the angel said to her in reply,“ The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. And behold, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren; for nothing will be impossible for God.” Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.

The fertilized egg has within it the entire DNA coding and the full complement of it's human destiny established in the Womb.

The only CHOICE that exists when you terminate a pregnancy in the Womb is the Choice to destroy or not destroy GOD's plan.

God's Plan is always for your Good, to create a Future and a Hope.

And now, bless the God of all,who has done wondrous things on earth;

Who fosters people’s growth from their mother’s womb, and fashions them according to his will!

May he grant you joy of heart and may peace abide among you;

May his goodness toward us endure in Israel to deliver us in our days. Sir.50

Weddington's Betrayal of Women
Serrin M. Foster President Feminists for Life of America

On the thirty-fifth anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion, many will focus on the undeniable humanity of the unborn child now seen clearly by millions through sophisticated sonograms on Oprah as well as in Life and Newsweek cover stories.
Meanwhile, I will be reflecting on the impact of the choice made by attorney Sarah Weddington in 1973.
As her arguments for abortion before the Supreme Court made clear, Weddington saw the discrimination and other injustices faced by pregnant women. But she did not demand that these injustices be remedied.
Instead, she demanded for women the “right” to submit to these injustices by destroying their pregnancies.
Weddington rightly pointed out the unmet needs of students: “…there are many schools where a woman is forced to quit if she becomes pregnant.”
But Weddington didn’t argue against pregnancy discrimination or even for alternate solutions for a pregnant student.
Weddington did no better for women in the workplace. “In the matter of employment, she often is forced to quit at an early point in her pregnancy. She has no provision for maternity leave… She cannot get unemployment compensation under our laws, because the laws hold that she is not eligible for employment, being pregnant, and therefore is eligible for no unemployment compensation.”
For women with serious medical needs, she further noted: “There is no duty for employers to rehire women if they must drop out to carry a pregnancy to term. And, of course, this is especially hard on the many women in Texas who are heads of their own households and must provide for their already existing children.”
Weddington clearly saw the bind low-income women face when experiencing unplanned pregnancy: “At the same time, she can get no welfare to help her at a time when she has no unemployment compensation and she's not eligible for any help in getting a job to provide for herself.”
Weddington repeatedly said that women need “relief” from pregnancy, instead of arguing that women need relief from these injustices.
What if Weddington had used her legal acumen to challenge the system and address women’s needs?
By accepting pregnancy discrimination in school and workplace and the lack of support in society for pregnant women and parents, especially the poor, Weddington and the Supreme Court betrayed women and undermined the support women need and deserve.

Since then, millions of women have paid the price, struggling in school and the workplace without societal support. After all, when “it’s her body, it’s her choice,” it’s her problem.

According to the Guttmacher Institute, the research arm of Planned Parenthood, the largest provider of abortion in America, half of all abortions are performed on college-age women.

Since 1994, Feminists for Life has worked to address the unmet needs of pregnant and parenting students and staff on college campuses. For the past decade FFL’s Pregnancy Resource Forums on campuses across the country have revealed the still-unmet needs of pregnant and parenting students — especially a lack of housing, child care, telecommuting options, maternity coverage and medical riders for additional children.

FFL found there is rarely a central place on campus for pregnancy and parenting resources. Even when resources are available, they are often not publicized. For pregnant and parenting students kept in the dark about the help they need and deserve, perception is their reality.
This March, which is Women’s History Month, Feminists for Life is helping college students make history for women by hosting Rallies for Resources on campuses across the country — so that women don’t feel driven to choose between sacrificing their children or their education and career plans.
The proposed Elizabeth Cady Stanton Pregnant and Parenting Student Services Act, a bipartisan effort led by Senators Elizabeth Dole and Ben Nelson and Representatives Marcy Kaptur and Sue Myrick, would make grants available for up to 200 colleges and universities to host pregnancy resource forums, create resource centers on campus, and communicate available support on and off campus.
There was one thing Weddington got right. “Whether she's unmarried; whether she's pursuing an education; whether she's pursuing a career; whether she has family problems; all of the problems of personal and family life, for a woman, are bound up in the problem of abortion.”
Abortion is a reflection that we have not met the needs of women.

Thirty-five years after Weddington capitulated to inherently unfair practices against pregnant and parenting women, those on both sides of the abortion debate should unite and say “no” to the status quo. Clearly women deserve better.

SCANDAL- THE LOG IN YOUR EYE

MOMMY I'M SICK


SCANDAL--That Children in America, unlike most every Western civilized country don't have comprehensive universal health care coverage. Pro-Life is Pro-Health. Let's take care of the kids who are here so women of all ages can feel confident in bringing more to life. Stop playing political Poker with kid's health and lives. Let's take care of the ones that are here. It makes me sick.

CDF Statement on Upcoming Congressional Vote to Override the President's SCHIP Veto
Failure to Stand Up for Children Would Be
"Morally Indefensible"

Editorial Note: How utterly pathetic that single childless moral theologians with no interest in procreating condemn women for allegedly thinking unchaste thoughts when they totally ignore that kids are literally dying because of the health care crisis in the US, how utterly pathetic that the richest Western nation cannot figure out how to align the health interests of the country with the capitalist impules of pharmaceutical and HMO shareholders. As my mother used to say "Don't be so heavenly minded that you are no earthly damned good." We can spend 12 Billion in Oil Wars but we can't take care of our own American family.

KIDS START LIFE AT FERTILIZATION/ CONCEPTION. THEY HAVE A FULL DNA PROFILE AT THAT POINT. THUS ANY COMPREHENSIVE UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE HAS TO COVER PRE-NATAL AND PREGNANCY CARE FOR WOMEN WHO HOUSE THEM IN UTERO.

GET TOGETHER AND GET IT DONE- OR GET OUT OF THE WAY.

WASHINGTON, DC - Children's Defense Fund President Marian Wright Edelman today issued the following statement in advance of next week's vote in the House of Representatives to override the President's second veto of legislation to reauthorize the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP):
"Once again, Congress has the opportunity to stand with the more than nine million uninsured children in America and override President Bush's veto of a SCHIP bill that would extend critical health coverage to more than 3 million of the more than 9 million uninsured children in this country," said Edelman. "A vote in support of the President's action to deny health coverage to these children would be morally indefensible. Every 41 seconds, another child is born uninsured, and each day that Congress delays action, another 2,100 children are born without health coverage. Over the past two years alone, the number of uninsured children in America has increased by more than one million. It is time to stop playing politics and do what is right for our nation's children. I urge every Member of Congress to reach down into their hearts, think about the children and families in their districts and around the country who are counting on them, and cast their vote to override this immoral veto."

Bread of Life

On Moralists:

People who think the greatest problems in the world are how to suppress their erection insurrection and prevent women from making the Love they feel are psycho-emotionally
stuck in the Seventh Grade. Far more good would be achieved for the global soul if they
took one child to the swings than if they absurdly condescendingly lectured a room full of people on their transferred imaginary shortcomings-no matter their wit, charm or charism (and some of them are exquisitely witty while being bitterly scathing).

Priests of the Gospel of Life can be the worst offenders in denying and destroying life by
perverting its possibilities as they vie for the Nomination in their Condemnation Nation and heretically elevate barenness as a virtue. Some of the sickest relationships that exist between the sexes are between some Priests and their women "parishioners" some of whom refer to "My Priest" the same way Condi refers to Bush as "my President" or "my husband." They spread like a virus the fear and loathing of life to the fullest as if Christ ever said that the Greatest Among You will never touch anyone.

There are hungry children in the World. If you have not adopted one yet, if you have not ever fed, clothed, or housed one, if you have not held one as it cried, if you have not read to one as they fell asleep, you are far less virtuous than the worst red light crack whore mother in Amsterdam and less virtuous than a single man praying alone for his own purification.

People are hungry. If your church is not listed with Bread for the World, it ought to be.

See what one truly heroic woman is doing to answer Christ when he said to let the children come to him. Marian Wright Edelman http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marian_Wright_Edelman is President of the Children's Defense Fund and its Action Council whose Leave No Child Behind® mission is to ensure every child a Healthy Start, a Head Start, a Fair Start, a Safe Start and a Moral Start in life and successful passage to adulthood with the help of caring families and communities.

They need your help.

There is a very big bad recession coming. Will you feed the hungry and clothe the naked? Or would you rather be paid to lecture people on their imaginary shortcomings to cover your condo fees and pay for the new building addition.
