How Important Is One Vote?
This is a question frequently asked in states like the one in which I live. Maryland almost always votes democrat in major elections. So, conservatives like myself find ourselves asking if our votes are important on a pretty regular basis. At least, we hear other conservatives complaining that their votes don’t matter. So, how important is one vote? Answer: One vote is so important that if we all threw in the towel because our votes don’t matter then we would live in a functional tyranny. We would never win and we would always be doomed to defeat. We would be the victims of our own fatalistic impulse.
One vote is important.
Now, think of this in God’s sight. And, relate this impulse to the issue of abortion. Our votes as Christians are done before God. Ethical issues, moral issues, control our vote as we are controlled by Word of God. If we don’t vote, then we concede our morals to the false idea of fate. We give our values to the culture and allow the culture to dictate to us what will be acceptable. In essence, we deprive ourselves of the opportunity to vote for the glory of God.
One vote is, in this sense, absolutely important.

More On “Viability”
Abortion advocates present their arguments with a false humility. They claim to depend on a doctor’s opinion of the “viability” of a human life in the womb, while at the same time saying they cannot answer the question as to when human life begins. They answer the question through the back door of abortion doctors.
This is a false humility because they claim to have no superior knowledge about when life begins and then they proceed to fiercely defend a woman’s right to choose when and where to kill her child, so long as it is not “viable.”
Think on this: If one is not sure that the “thing” growing inside a mother’s womb is a human life yet, why would one err on the side of killing it?!? Can you see through this?
The idea of “viability” is a smokescreen that seeks to blur the obvious and compelling reality of human life. It begins at conception. A human is underway and there is no denying it.

“Viability” – A Closer Look at the Freedom of Choice Act
This is an immensely troubling word when it comes to defining life. Who’s using it? Well, some very powerful individuals in the house and senate of the United States of America, that’s who. This word is one of the key words in the 2004 Freedom of Choice Act, that these folks tried to pass. This is also the bill that senator Barak Obama has said he would sign into law as his first act in the presidency, if elected. Watch it, it’ll only take a minute, but the shock should last lifetime…
So, “viability,” is the term used in the bill that Obama says he’ll sign and it means: ”when a baby is capable of surviving outside the womb on it’s own.” Now, it’s a tricky term. Think about it, if you leave a one year old alone for long enough, they will die. So, is a one year old viable? If you leave a premature baby that the parents wanted to live, alone, it will surely die. Yet, it can easily be sustained with todays amazing technology. Thank you Jesus for that technology.
So, this is a trick term. Abortion advocates want us to think of human life in this way so as to attempt to make human life something that people can define at their convenience. Instead of viewing all human life as precious and “created,” as the Declaration of Independence states, these abortion advocates use the term “viable.” We need not protect life if it isn’t viable, right? I hope you don’t agree. Life is viable because it is created. It is viable because it is a human that is being constructed in the womb. These are defenseless children. They are viable in every way. Don’t be fooled by the cold reasoning of unapologetic lawmakers.
Please pray today that this bill will never see a president’s desk. Jesus, make it happen, amen.

Created Equal by the Creator…
There has been, historically, an emphasis on the word “equal” in the Declaration of Independence with regards to the issue of slavery and civil rights. And there has not, historically been an emphasis on the word “created.” Nor has there been an emphasis on the word “Creator.” Though, it is my personal belief that those two words: “created” and “Creator” carry a silent authority that bolsters the word “equal” and gives it its true weight and merit.
If the declaration read that all men “evolved” equally, everyone who read it would know it was a sham. Precisely because the theory of evolution does not allow for the principle of equality. The theory of evolution is knit into a quilt of atheistic principles, chief among which is the idea that the strong survive and only the strong have the so-called right to life, because there is no God to govern and no ultimate moral standard for living, only strength and weakness.
Therefore, those two words, “created” and “Creator” carry the silent and massive authority of the first of the two founding documents.
How recently have you thought about this in regards to the injustice of abortion? We were “created” equal. The whole process of our own construction is what gives us equality, the fact that the Creator made us all to be of equal value and worth is what the framers rightly proclaimed to be the only foundation for our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Think on this. Pray about this.
When will we declare an independence day for those being created in their mother’s wombs right now? When will our posterity really have the protections of life and freedom that the constitution grants them? Please pray with me that this day will come soon. Please make this a matter of daily prayer. Fast for our posterity. Speak out with grace and love but also with truth for our posterity. May God grant us the strength and resolve to never stop until these fragile and precious citizens are protected.

She is Their Voice…
Men, listen to her challenge to us in part 2. What this dear woman charges us with should pierce our hearts. Consider and pray. And by the grace of God let us rise up to meet this challenge, for the glory of God in the creation of human life.
Part One:

Is the Declaration Now Void? No.
“WE hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness-That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men…”
Human Life is protected here in this second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence. And not just adult human life, created human life, period. The Oppressor that human life is protected from is the anarchistic, violent, selfish, tyranny, of the life-philosophy that the strong dictate the will of the weak.
Instead, the Declaration of Independence appeals to the intentions of the Creator to dictate the innate rights that all humans should afford one another.
God is the Giver and Taker of life, not men. As men think of men, in this nation, their perspective, if proper and true, is that all Men are created equal and that they possess their inalienable rights by the will of God and not by the strength of men. This is the irreplaceable Cornerstone of our great country.
Yet, the strength of man, in this document has purpose. The purpose of man’s strength is to protect the inalienable rights of Men, not to take those rights away simply because someone is defenseless or weak. In this truth did the Founding Fathers see the primary purpose of Government. Government exists to protect Liberty for all created human life.
And perhaps most important to the current battle for the protection of human life in the womb, the Declaration of Independence does not afford us our rights because we were born. It affords us our rights because we were created. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness are ours in this nation because our Creator endows us with them, creates us with them.
The fact that we are “created equal” levels the playing field for adult human life and baby human life and baby-still-in-the-womb human life. We are made equal. We don’t become equal once we are born. “Equal” is the way we are constructed. Yet, pro-abortion people use words to describe babies in the womb like: “viable.” They build false stages after the conception of a child as if to be the Great Determiner of when a baby is really a baby. Our great Declaration of Independence flies in the face of such selfish assumption. The Declaration declares the smallest child in the womb to be equal to the strongest, smartest, richest adult in the world. Why? Because we are created equal.
May God seal it home in all hearts in all places.

Constitutional Protection for the Unborn
“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution of the United States of America.”
Preamble to the Constitution of the United States
“Posterity: 1. Descendants; children, children’s children, &c. indefinitely; the race that proceeds from a progenitor.
2. In a general sense, succeeding generations, opposed to ancestors.”
Noah Webster’s 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language
Right there, in the very beginning of our own constitution, is a defense for the unborn and a comprehensive entitlement to the protections that the constitution offers to all American citizens.
Contained in the phrase “and secure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity…,” I believe, lies hope for the unborn. On an earthly level, of course.
Our appeal must be to God and our trust must be in God to do away with the evil of abortion. That “posterity” is a word specifically referring to those children yet to come into the world is no mere product of the ingenuity of man, it is a case of Providential assistance in our nation’s founding document. I thank God for that word.
It is apparent in such a phrase that the writers of the Constitution believed our posterity to be citizens of this great nation. And as such, proceeded to include them in the opening words of the Constitution. They argue, with these words, that this document is not simply to secure the blessings of Liberty to those who are already born in these good states, but to those who are yet to come. I believe their intent in this to be manifold.
They must have intended to stave off the unflinchingly persistent forces of tyranny, understanding that man’s craving for absolute power would indeed creep back into even the purest form of government over time and throughout proceeding generations. They also must have intended that their posterity, those still unborn to them, had every right that they possessed in their adulthood. Surely, if these constitutional protections are not preserved for them before they are born, there is no garauntee that they can be preserved after they are born, the technicalities in such a case, become endless.
Let us protect our posterity as our constitution compels us to. I begin this blog with an appeal to our constitution because no American citizen should be allowed to overlook this truth. If there be any who overlook the injustice and evil of abortion on grounds that this is somehow a Christian or religious issue only, let them review the preamble to the document that secures their own liberty and let them no longer sleep in the peace and security this nation affords them until they see to it that it is extended to all of it’s rightful recipients, including the unborn.
