I work as a part-time liaison in an after-school program for elementary age students here in northern California. They are a lot of fun, but can, of course, be difficult. One thing we do, in the 2 to 6 p.m. time span, is help the kids with homework. Sometimes the kindergarten and first graders don’t have any, so we keep them occupied with other things.
One of these is doing dot-to-dots. Remember them? You do if you are a parent! Well, once they learn numbers and learn the alphabet, the dot puzzles are a breeze. In fact, they are too easy. A little boy or girl will no sooner get one than a hand goes up and the child says, “I’m done!”
I started writing one of our California senators a few days ago, using dot-to-dots as an illustration. It must have been a bad one, because I hit a wrong key, goofed up the message and still have not got it sent. (That’s what happens to us technologically challenged folks.)
Well, to try to get to the point. We have, or had (some have dropped out) 8 Democratic presidential candidates who cannot connect the dots. They are universally, unequivocally pro-abortion. I was going to say to our Senator, Barbara Boxer, that when a child is conceived, it is not much more than a dot, but it is a human being and there is straight line between conception and birth and there is no point in that process when the child is not a growing girl or boy.
We need to drop the euphemism “pro-choice”; “infanticide” would be a better description. National Right-to-Life News tells us where the Democratic candidates stand: Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards, Bill Richardson, Joe Biden, Dennis Kucinich, Christopher Dodd and Mike Gravel are all unanimously, explicitly, outspokenly pro-abortion.
What does this mean. It means that these otherwise, quite intelligent human beings, need to go back to kindergarten. They just don’t seem to have the mental capacity to “connect the dots” and none of them has sufficient clarity of mind, or reasoning ability, to be President of the United States. They are subject to their various constituencies. Even if they know in their minds and hearts that abortion is a bloody blot on the soul of this nation, none of them has sufficient political character or “guts” to change to a pro-life stand.
Let’s look at the other side of the coin. With exception of Rudy Giulani, and, to some extent, Mitt Romney, all of the Republican candidats: Fred Thompson, John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Sam Brownback, Duncan Hunter, Ron Paul and Tom Tancredo (some of these have dropped out) are all unequivocally pro-life and opposed to Roe v. Wade.
In a few days we will mark the anniversary of this heinous Supreme Court decision of 1973. The passage of 35 years has seen the deaths of some 50 million unborn babies. Do you think God does not know about these deaths? Do you want a President of the United States so deficient in straight reasoning that he or she cannot “connect the dots”?
There are seven things God hates; that He calls an “abomination” unto Him. One of these is “the shedding of innocent blood” (Proverbs 6:16-19). The Bible reiterates God’s hatred of such shedding of blood in several other places in the Scripture. “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man sows, that he will also reap” (Galatians 6:7) The reaping time is coming; are you ready?
