Bush, Frist Praise Bill That Allows Pregnant Minors To Murder Their Unborn By Abortion

Is it really a pro-life, pro-family victory to have a bill passed by the Republican-controlled House that says only the parents of pregnant minors can transport their daughters across state lines to murder their innocent, unborn babies by abortion? I think not --- not by any stretch of the imagination.
But, evidently, President Bush thinks it is.
In a statement praising the recent House-passed "Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act," Mr. Bush says this bill will "protect the health and safety of minors by ensuring that state parental involvement laws are not circumvented. The parents of pregnant minors can provide counsel, guidance, and support to their children, and should be involved in these decisions. I urge the Senate to pass this important legislation and help continue to build a culture of life in America."
This bill helps to continue the building of "a culture of life in America?" Really? How so? How does this bill help to build "a culture of life" if it allows pregnant minors to murder their innocent, unborn children by abortion? Such an assertion is not only absurd, it is also grotesque.
Does it really help build "a culture of life" to require in some cases, as this bill does, that abortionists must notify, in person, the parents of pregnant minors before they murder the innocent, unborn children of these under-age girls? Not at all.
Does it really help build "a culture of life" to impose, as this bill does, a 24-hour waiting period, in some cases, for pregnant minors, before they murder their innocent, unborn children, even if they are accompanied by their parents? No way.
The "New York Times" (4/28/05) says supporters of this bill characterize it as pro-family. But, a bill that allows pregnant minors to murder their innocent, unborn babies by abortion is as ANTI-family as a bill can be. And it compounds the crime of abortion by mandating that parents must be accomplices in this murder of innocent unborn children if these pregnant minors cross state lines to commit such murder.
The Republican sponsor of this bill, Rep. Ilena Ros-Lehtinen from Florida, is quoted in the "Washington Times" (4/28/05) as saying that it would "promote strong family ties" --- another morally idiotic statement. Any bill dealing with abortion, which allows any abortions, is destructive of family ties because it allows the murder of innocent members of that family while they are in the womb.
The "Baltimore Sun" (4/28/05) reports Amy Call, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.), as saying that her boss expects to bring up a similar bill this summer. Frist is quoted as saying: "No matter how few people it affects, it is an important bill on the principles." But, what "principles" are being alluded to here? Certainly not the "principle" of protecting the lives of all innocent, unborn human beings from being murdered by abortion.
In the previously mentioned "New York Times" story, Douglas Johnson, a spokesman for the supposedly pro-life "National Right-To-Life Committee," says he thinks there will be a "big fight" over this bill because it is "vehemently opposed" by pro-abortion groups. But, if President Bush, the GOP-controlled House and Sen. Frist were REALLY pro-life, THEY would have vehemently opposed this bill because it continues the culture of death by allowing pregnant minors to murder their innocent, unborn children by abortion.
Once again we see that, IN PRINCIPLE, the pro-abortion Democrats and the supposedly pro-life Republicans are really two pro-death peas-in-a-pod because neither party is trying, in any way, to stop ALL abortions --- which is the true pro-life position.

"History is important. Why? History is nothing less than the outworking of God's eternal decree in time. History has a definite beginning and a definite ending. All history is God's history. If you want to understand the issues of today, you must grasp the issues of yesterday. Here in America the South has always contended for righteousness and truth, why? Why is the South known as the Bible belt? The principles for which the South contended in 1776 and in 1861 are the same principles that are being contended for today." ~Pastor John Weaver, History and Southern Heritage, DominionMinistry.com |
