Thank
God for a president that has moral integrity to take a stand against
this barbaric procedure. As a healthcare professional, I see no
reason for partial birth abortion, which inflicts pain and a horrible
death for these helpless infants. It is blight on our society.
I pray that President Bush’s legislation will not be overturned
by liberal judges.

Stan Schmunk ’s letter last month was right
on target. Until the church stops tolerating abortion, divorce,
and abuse among Christians, we are moving rapidly towards God’s
judgment on this nation.
We
can justify sending troops overseas to stop dictators from butchering
their own people all we want, but the Lord will not ignore the
over 1 million babies a year we allow to be butchered in this
nation.

It
is almost incredible that Stan Schmunk is so ignorant of constitutional
history that he claims in his letter (Nov. 2003 edition) that
because Jesus Christ and God are not mentioned in the Constitution,
that this document is not based on the law of God and on Christian
legal principles. It did not seem to penetrate into Mr. Schmunk’s
brain that the vast majority of the Founding Fathers at the Constitutional
Convention were members of Christian denominations and churches.
Even Benjamin Franklin, who was considered outside ordinary
Christian churches and was probably not a strict Christian, requested
the assemblage to pray to God, the Father of Lights, for guidance
and the reason that the assembly did not immediately call in a
chaplain was that they lacked the funds to hire one.
Mr.
Schmunk simply has no sense to the history of the Founding Fathers.
Being they were almost all Christian, it did not appear necessary
to them to explicate the law of God in a document that was concerned
with the structure of government and the federal system. It was
clearly understood by each of them that this was a Christian nation
and the percentage of Christians in the population, excluding
the indigenous peoples, was over 99%. The charter of our freedoms
is the Declaration of Independence, which is, if Mr. Schmunk will
read it, a statement in the main body, of the Bill of Rights in
reverse.
