10-21 22Stupidocrisy: SCOTUS and abortion

Daily Jot: Stupidocrisy: SCOTUS and abortion - Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com Since 1973, some 65 million unborn US citizens were deprived of their God-given and constitutional right to life. Liberal left political forces marshalled enough clout on the US Supreme Court to conjure up an unlegislated law of the land, or as then Justice Byron White put it an “exercise of raw judicial power.” It was a political move to consolidate a Democratic base of extremists. The leaked draft of Justice Samuel Alito’s majority opinion overturning Roe v Wade and Doe v Bolton smacks of yet another political move for Democrats to stir up such animus among extremists that they will turn around a vital midterm election that is going against them and to provide fodder to pack the court with judicial activists. A bit of history is in order. I attended a Senate Judiciary hearing in 2005 where Sandra Cano, the “Doe” in Doe vs. Bolton, the companion case to Roe vs. Wade, said that she was always against abortion. Abortion was always against her wishes. She never sought an abortion and never went for an abortion. She has said when she approached her attorneys for help, she understood her case as an effort to obtain a divorce and regain custody of her children. She was pregnant, and unbeknownst to her, her attorney and her mother arranged an abortion for Sandra. Sandra, to this day, says such an act was so far from her intentions that when she discovered the plan, she fled to Oklahoma alone. The “Roe” in Roe vs. Wade is a similar case. Norma McCorvey was a rough talking woman who drifted from job to job and had three children, all of them given up for adoption. She never had an abortion, she just signed the affidavit provided by her slick attorney and was expected to melt into the background and keep her mouth shut. For years she was an abortion advocate, but then a young girl named Emily struck up a relationship with her. When McCorvey found out that Emily was almost aborted, she put a face with the decision that bore her name. McCorvey could not fathom that her young friend Emily may have fallen victim to abortion. McCorvey then became a Christian and a pro-life advocate. Evil politicians, their media minions, and some religious leaders cost lives as they pursue their prideful existence. Christ said in Luke 17:2, “It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.” He loved children. And Christ is the one who gave us all eternal life. Abortion is death. Life is the way of Christ. God’s law written on our hearts is the SUPREME LAW. When the SCOTUS investigation concludes revealing the truth behind this leak, we may well find that it was a planned political assault on this Constitutional Republic aimed at retaining power and the death cult to which they ascribe. And that, my friends, is far worse than, say it with me…Stupidocrisy. Daily Devotion: A Clear Objective - by Greg Laurie – www.harvest.org I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us —Philippians 3:13–14 https://harvest.org/resources/devotion/a-clear-objective/ - Listen In the film City Slickers, Billy Crystal plays the role of Mitch, a New Yorker in his late thirties whose marriage is falling apart. He goes to a dude ranch to become a cowboy for two weeks, and there he meets an actual cowboy named Curly. As they’re riding along on their horses, Curly, a man of few words, turns to Mitch and tells him the secret of life is just one thing. “That’s great,” Mitch says, “but what’s the one thing?” “That’s what you gotta figure out.” The apostle Paul figured it out. He said, “I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us” (Philippians 3:13–14 NLT). Paul had a clear objective. Notice that he said, “I focus on this one thing.” David, the great psalmist and king of Israel, summed it up this way in Psalm 27: “The one thing I ask of the Lord—the thing I seek most—is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, delighting in the Lord’s perfections and meditating in his Temple” (verse 4 NLT). What is the one thing that gets you up in the morning? What is the one thing that gets your blood pumping, the one thing that you are really passionate about? For the apostle Paul, that one thing was Jesus—following Jesus and knowing Jesus. And that’s what we should focus our attention on as well. I’m not running the race of life for people. I’m not even running this race for whatever heavenly reward I may receive. I’m doing it for Jesus.
