Iowa Democrat Prayer Thanks God For Abortionists (sic)

Warped Politics - Iowa Democrat Prayer Thanks God For Abortionists

Hey, this could be progress. About time last year, the Democratic National Convention booed when the platform committee tried to backtrack and add a mention of God that had been earlier removed. In Iowa, at least Democrats have gone back to openly praying, but perhaps they should be hoping that God isn’t listening:

They made the unusual decision, for Democrats, to begin the event with a prayer. This was likely in response to a prayer vigil being conducted by pro-life activists at the same time nearby.

Des Moines activist Midge Slater took the podium and spent five and a half minutes thanking God for abortion rights, abortion doctors and taxpayer funding for abortions. She also referred to the decision to have an abortion as “a blessing”.

During the entire prayer, State Senator Jack Hatch and Rep. Tyler Olson, both of whom are running for governor, kept their heads bowed and eyes closed, joining in the group prayer.

The Iowa Republican transcribed a bit of the prayer, which goes on for quite a while:

“We give thanks, oh Lord, for the doctors, both current and future, who provide quality abortion care.”

“We pray for increased financial support for low-income women to access contraception, abortion and childcare.”

“Today, we pray for women in developing nations, that they may know the power of self-determination. May they have access to employment, education, birth control and abortion.”

“Today we pray for the families who have chosen. May they know the blessing of choice.”

Here’s my favorite part, very obviously aimed at the pro-life demonstrators:

“We pray for women who have been made afraid by their paternalistic religion.”
Those in attendance applauded the prayer at it's conclusion.

Afraid? For feminists, they don’t seem to have much faith in women to decide for themselves whether to live as Christians and follow its tenets without fear forcing them into it. However, based on this prayer for blessings on abortions and the demand to spread it worldwide, I’d guess that they’re less interested in faith than they are in their own political agendas anyway.

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.

Thing is, those same democrats who, in the early 70's wanted legal abortions so women would not die in back room clinics are now passing laws to legalize practical nurses to perform abortions.

An abortion clinic was shut dwon, locally because of the substandard conditions.

This was never a safety concern. Abortion is the poster child for all liberal thought. The reasons to support abortion are the same reasons for every liberal ideal.

Abdication of personal responsibility.

The growth of the government in our lives.

Absolute racial hatreds ( 60% of all african american pregnancies in NYC end up in abortion. The same sting that was used to take down Acorn was used on planned parenthood clinics where it was found, blacks and minorities were encouraged more to have abortions. The founder of planned parenthood, her goal was to limit the minority populations )

You have to hand it to the liberal agenda. If they can sell to a mother its ok to murder their babies and call it freedom?

wow, could satan do any better??

Break down the family and the Church, build the State. It's all connected.

It's step by step right out of the manifesto.

Now try telling someone that abortion is the natural progression of the eugenics movement and see if they don't jump down your throat. Scratch that, I mean rip out your throat. Abortion affects those of lower socioeconomic class the most.

And I'm sure they'll drag out the "well what if it's rape or the mother's health" argument. The percentage of abortions due to either of those two things is low enough that I'd feel comfortable saying that if it were only those two circumstances, then we wouldn't even be having this perpetual discussion in the political sphere.

It's step by step right out of the manifesto.

Heh, yeah, exactly. But try telling someone there's an agenda behind all of this and they'll... I think I might have already said that one. Some people might eventually get the picture, but for the most part this issue is falling on the same deaf ears.



But thanking God for abortion. This is pretty warped. We've gone from a medical procedure to protect the life of the mother to a fundamental right. More than one a minute in the US alone. Kind of sad.



This is depressing. I need to spruce this up with some humor
