So for those of you that are not informed of what has taken place in Texas, let me update you quickly. A bill was introduced to the Texas Senate that would have banned abortions after 20 weeks and would have most likely closed a large majority of the abortion mills in the state. Senator Wendy Davis attempted to filibuster the bill but after three times going off topic, her efforts were finished. However, her cohorts in the Senate continued to argue with parliamentary inquiries until they were blue in the face. After those were put to rest, the crowd (that never should be allowed in the room in the first place) cheered until the time ran out and the bill was taken off the table. Another loss for the pro-life groups across the country.
I stayed up until nearly 1:30 Eastern time watching, thinking about, and praying for this bill to pass. And I have to say that I was rather disgusted at what took place. I understand that people are misinformed and do not really know what they are cheering/voting for so let me fill those people in: you are cheering for death. When those men and women in the chamber room were cheering and chanting for Wendy and her friends, they were cheering for the deaths of tens and hundreds of thousands of innocent children. There is no other way to look at it. Abortion is murder whether it is in the 20th week or in the first day, and those that opposed the bill are explicitly voicing their opinions that this is okay. America had a great opportunity last night to take a step in the right direction after so many were taken backwards and they failed. They did not fail us as citizens, but they failed the many many lives that will be taken before they even get a chance to breathe their first breaths of the air that fill this great country.
With this filibuster and with today's news that DOMA was ruled unconstitutional and Prop 8 was taken off the table, I get very upset at where this country is headed. We have people, possibly your next door neighbors, that are completely fine with not only being responsible for the murder of children, but for the breakdown of the family as a whole. It may not be entirely their fault though. The mainstream media and those that we call "celebrities" are all in favor of the culture of death and fill our heads with this junk every single day. It's a miracle that we all are not in favor of this garbage. And that gives me hope. I know that God knows what He is doing. He has a plan that is bigger than one court ruling in one state in country in the entire world. It just gets very hard to trust sometimes, and the fact that this culture is so hell bent on death does not make it any easier. However, as Christians we need to fully place our trust in God that something good will come of this.
Right is right even if nobody is doing it, and wrong is wrong even if everybody is doing it. And maybe I will ruffle some feathers by saying this but I believe it needs to be said. Wendy Davis and those that are in favor of the murder and absolute destruction of babies are wrong and should not be happy about what they accomplished. Ms. Davis you are no hero even though you are being praised as a God by those that do not even believe in a higher power. And I continue to pray for those that are still waiting to be told the truth and take ownership of that. Our country right now is afraid of responsibility, afraid of accountability, and afraid of the truth. But my trust is in God who never fails, who is always accountable, who is always loving, and holds me to the same standards.
So to sum up my rant here, I just have to say that while I am disappointed in what took place over the last 12 hours, I still have a lot of hope. I have a lot of hope that good will come of this. And to my pro-life brothers and sisters that may not totally agree with some of the things that I am saying, I apologize. But please know that I am putting my trust and my faith in God and not in our government. When push comes to shove, know that I will be standing with you arm in arm dying in a prison before I take the life of one innocent child so that my life can be convenient and comfortable. Peace.
In Christ,
Josh
