We believe this legislation is terrible. After we had come so far toward protecting embryonic life under the Bush administration, we have now again seen "CHANGE." I agree that CHANGE can be a good thing and CHANGE was needed; however, movement toward a completely immoral, socialist society in which the most innocent and delicate lives are not protected is not the CHANGE we should want. I knew going into President Obama's four-year term that I would disagree with most of his ideas of CHANGE and I have to say that at this point in time, I have never been less proud to be an American. We hear of babies being killed in other countries as a form of population control and we are generally appalled by this idea; however, we have no problem with killing babies in order to do "research." The most heart-breaking part of this is that most of the same forms of research can be done with harvested cord blood and stem cells that do not need to be obtained from embryos themselves. America--it's time to turn our eyes upon Jesus. Life begins at conception. Psalm 106:34-43 "Israel failed to destroy the nations in the land, as the Lord had told them to. But they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs. They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them. They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons. They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was desecrated by their blood. They defiled themselves by what they did; by their deeds they prostituted themselves. Therefore the Lord was angry with his people and abhorred his inheritance. He handed them over to the nations, and their foes ruled over them. Their enemies oppressed them and subjected them to their power. Many times he delivered them, but they were bent on rebellion and they wasted away in their sin." Wake up America! We should be able to smell the stench of our own sin by now--it's disgusting. Pray for President Obama and the rest of the government--pray that they will wake up and smell their sin and realize that calling themselves "Christian" is as true as Bill Clinton's "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" statement.
