Americans watched on television as President Bush's jumbo jet soared out of sight on Tuesday--and with him, a long record of protecting the unborn. Although the Obama administration is only about 48 hours old, the new President has already set to work undoing years of pro-life and pro-family policy.Minutes after Obama took the oath of office, the transfer of power was made complete on the White House website. For the past eight years I've been a regular visitor of the website. I have over 2,500 pictures in my library of the various points of President Bush's terms in office. The page, once home to a host of family values, now welcomes an extreme collection of anti-life, anti-woman, and anti-family agendas. Under the caption "civil rights," Obama pledges to fight for nationwide civil unions, repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act, homosexual adoption, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, expanded "hate crimes," and over 1,100 costly same-sex benefits. He promises to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" as well as block a federal amendment to preserve marriage. In exchange for the support of groups like Planned Parenthood, the abortion business is also due for a rich payoff from the 44th president, including his support of abortion-on-demand, more funding for "family planning" programs, embryonic stem cell experiments, and tax-funded abortion.
Washington D.C. may have changed overnight, but our values as Christians must be enduring. We must continue to advance faith, family, and freedom in the next four years. God's people need to begin to work NOW on the next congressional elections to get conservatives elected. America needs to bless God before God will bless America!
