Murder on demand

Anyone who lives in America should be outraged by recent political acts to further legalize the murder of the unborn AND those who are born. And once again, people of conscience, it is those elected from the Democratic Party who are supporting such immoral efforts. It is, however, those elected from the Republican Party who, in my opinion, are doing little but lip service to stop this attack on humanity. Citizens of New York and Virginia who call themselves human, Christian or even empathetic to any human or civil rights should be outraged to action. You would be arrested for killing new born puppies, but not new born humans if the Democrats and the Virginia Governor had their way. This is lunacy. 
 
New York state Democratic Party legislators gleefully passed legislation to deny "personhood" to unborn babies. They symbolically took the vote on the anniversary of the Supreme Court's Roe v Wade decision to legalize abortion. Democrat Government Andrew Cuomo signed the bill into law as his fellow party members celebrated. Democrats in Rhode Island and Vermont, under the guise of protecting reproductive health care and reproductive privacy, have introduced bills that eliminate any restrictions on abortion. These include allowing late term abortions-even to the moment of birth and Rhode Island's bill eliminates any protection for a viable unborn child from criminal assaults on a child's mother. 
 
The linchpin, however, in this new "Murder on Demand" environment is a bill introduced by Democrat Virginia state legislator Kathy Tran that makes it "lawful for any physician licensed by the Board of Medicine to practice medicine and surgery to terminate or attempt to terminate a human pregnancy or aid or assist in the termination of a human pregnancy by performing an abortion or causing a miscarriage on any woman in a stage of pregnancy subsequent to the second trimester." The justification is simply "continuation of the pregnancy is likely to result in the death of the woman or impair the mental or physical health of the woman." Therefore, if the woman consents because of her mental health, the infanticide can be legally committed. Virginia's Democratic governor and Attorney General fully support the infanticide legislation.
 
Now then, Nebraska Republican Senator Ben Sasse introduced a bill to protect babies who survive failed abortions and designate them as a legal person. Sasse asked for unanimous consent to pass the bill on the floor of the Senate. Democrats blocked the vote. Sasse's bill does not go far enough. This death and hate culture in American must stop. We all should demand and expect that these people supporting infanticide be removed from office as they are premeditating the murder of US citizens, moreover, human beings. As the Lord says in Jeremiah 2:34, "Also on your skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but plainly upon all these things." Who wants the blood of murder by demand on their hands?
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Caring for those even the Church ignores: 
The Disabled in Ghana

By Pastor William Agbeti

[ NOTE: In addition to our ongoing clean water, feeding, and clothing efforts when you support The Daily Jot, you are helping wipe tears off the faces of suffering mothers and fathers seeking rehabilitation of their disabled children]
UN figures put persons living with disabilities in the world at 20% of the global population. 80% of this number can be found in developing countries. In Ghana alone, there are some 3 million persons living with various forms of disabilities. 
Our Ghana ministry serves where others will not.This two-day residential program for children with disabilities provide food, clothing and recreation

Their plight is demoralizing. Many in the Ghanaian society consider them taboos. Scores of local churches have not opened their doors to them. Several families neglect their disabled children, to fend for themselves. Sadly, some communities go to the extreme to put a newly born disabled child into a mortar and use a pestle to pound it to death, with the belief that their souls will not return to the communities again. In the main, the disabled are ostracized from the society. Only a handful of homes, families and communities treat them with a modicum of respect and acceptance. Read the rest of the story by clicking here
