I am going to be a granfather!!

I am going to be a grandfather for the first time this coming summer. I know, it's no big deal. Many people have been, currently are, and will be in the future.

What has been different now - compared to when I first became a parent - is the associated technology. My daughter-in-law had an ultrasound performed on the baby at about 12 weeks gestation. Then she had the video put on Facebook. I watched that and it was so amazing. The detail of the baby was amazing. The doctor was able to measure the fetus at this point. Less than 2 inches long.

Less than 2 inches - and the formed details of the child were amazing! Although I know that the internal organs haven't fully developed yet, it was still inspiring to see the definition.

All of this brings me to two points. The first is that seeing that ultrasound affirms that all of creation is controlled by a creator. HE knows what HE is doing. This life has a name, character, and eternal soul already. The Creator does this kind of work every day and HE is really good at it. Watching the ultrasound has already developed a unique relationship between child, mother, father, grandparents, and great-grandparents.

The second point is that watching the fetus in this ultrasound reminds me that "it" can generate an income for one of two opposite workers. An obstetrician can work to help the mother through the pregnancy to birth. The alternative, ugly side is that the fetus can be destroyed. How can anybody - ANYBODY -really watch the ultrasound and say it is just a mass of tissue ( I saw the baby dance!) and be willing to destroy it???

Well, anyway, this is one exciting time in the Gordon family.

Planned Parenthood will make money again next year - from you!

Friday, Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana offered an amendment to an appropriations bill that would have eliminated all government funding for Planned Parenthood for the next fiscal year. That amendment was defeated along near party lines.

Of course, Planned Parenthood claims that their organization is more involved in family planning education nationwide than actually providing abortion services. Remember that this is the organization that has had several video recorded incidents of allegedly illegally “advising” clients to possibly lie about their ages. At least one incident was here in Indiana.

This action is another indication that the current Congress has every intent to move elective abortions into national health care. I suspect that before this issue is concluded Congress will not only include taxpayer paid abortions, but there will also be no opt-out provision for providers. Doctors, nurses, and medical facilities will be required to offer abortion services. (“Services” – what irony in that choice of words!)

Pro-life will pay for abortions under Obama

The health care debate intensifies.

The White House and Congressional leaders are saying that the bills that have passed so far that it is a work in progress and we should not be concerned about the details until the final bill is up for vote.

Unfortunately, from my perspective, it is way too late to try and modify/kill any proposals when we get to the final vote.

For any Christians that calls themselves pro-life, it is time to prepare yoruselves for a true gut check. Legislation that has passed out of committee (not signed into law yet) includes REQUIREMENTS TO PAY FOR ABORTIONS! The White House has also said that federal funding for abortions is still a possibility and "on the table."


This is obviously a political payment to abortion supporters from the Democratic party. But pro-life people will now be obligated to pay to unborn babies through their tax dollars.

WAKE UP AMERICA!

Don't think nationalized health care is a savior program handed from the government. This is a major power grab of our individual liberties by the federal government. Write to Senator Lugar and Senator Bayh and let them know this HAS TO STOP!
