On a more serious note...

I was just sent an email about Obama's Freedom of Choice Act, which he has stated will be the first thing he does when he is in office. This act will allow live abortions, and all other types throughout the nation. Furthermore, it will require those who work in the medical industry to perform such abortions or risk losing their liscense. Here is some of what was sent to me, by a relative who is a nurse:

"Many of you know that I took a beautiful young boy's body to the fridge in Pocatello. I came on and was asked to take him to the lab. He was in a red garbage bag in a large basin. When I got to the lab, noone was there. I unwrapped the bag to reveal a beautiful 20-24 week infant. He had everything that necessitates life, yet, his chart said he was incompatible with life. I sobbed as I realized the gravity of this one tiny body that was not allowed a chance at life and the many others lives who are cut short each day as if we are talking nonchalantly about bailing out the auto industry and the economy. These are lives that I am sure our Father in Heaven would say are worth saving. "

"...I fear [this act] will change Healthcare in America more than any of us can begin to imagine. Especially myself and my sister-in law ----, who have both found our niches in Women's and Children's services. We (RN's in healthcare) are split much as the American people are on Row v Wade. There are still at least half and possibly more of the RNs that I work with who will quit their jobs caring for the wonderful Mothers who are bringing babies into this world, as our Creators plan necesitates. The nurses that I know that are pro-life are as a whole- much more compassionate, caring, and loving towards their patients than others who are there to support their families and worldly needs. It would be tragic if we all go to home health or medical surgical or areas of nursing that are sure not to face assisting with abortions under any and all circumstances. "



And here was the forwarded letter of the email (author is unknown to me):

Dear Family and Friends,

As most of you know, last night Obama made a public announcement
that he is going to sign the Freedom Of Choice Act, which will allow
all types of abortions including partial birth abortions, also
allowing babies who are born alive due to botched up late term
abortions, to be set aside without any medical care or nourishment and
left to die (most of these babies have no medical problems and most
of the ones that do, have things like cleft palates, club feet, things
that are correctable, still they are murdered in the most cruel and
inhuman way. They feel everything that is happening to them. There is
more mercy for dogs that are put to sleep) This Bill also will make it
mandatory for doctors and nurses to perform this murderous act even if
they do not want to do so. This act also allows under age teens to
have an abortion, even partial birth abortions, without parental
consent.

Catholic Bishops have pleaded with Obama not to go ahead with this
horrible murder of innocent babies. They have also told Obama that if
he persists in signing this Bill which would require even Catholic
Hospitals to perform these acts of murder, they will have no choice
but to close all Catholic Hospitals. Please let us join with these
courageous Bishops who will go to any length to change Obama's mind.
Please take a minute to sign this statement and let our voices be
heard.

This is a great, informative website. You can click on the video
of Obama's speech to the Planned Parenthood group where he promised
that the first thing he would do if elected President would be to sign
the Freedom Of Choice Act. He isn't even in the White House yet and
he made a statement last night that he will go forward with his plans
to sign this outrageous bill. He still can change his mind because
the Bill cannot be signed until he is actually the President.

Please let your family and friends know about this Bill and ask
them to also sign this petition. Even those who voted for Obama would
not want him to sign this Bill. Most important, please pray for
Obama's true conversion to Christianity. If he doesn't change his
atheistic ways, may God have mercy on our country for the sake of the
millions who would never agree with this Bill if they fully understood
all that it encompasses. Please click on the web site below. It will
take less than a minute of your time, doesn't cost anything and God
will bless you for standing up of Him and His commandment, "thou shalt
not kill".

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people
do nothing"

I know it's the holiday season, and I really do wish you all a Merry Christmas, and I also do beg you to take the few seconds it takes to sign the petition on the link above. Perhaps even take a minute to post or email this link to friends and family. To me, this issue is even more important gay marriage, because this act will allow healthy human babies to die, and will force those who do not want to lose their jobs to assist in the death of these beautiful, tiny babies. Our friends recently had a baby who was 24 weeks old when she was born, and she is an adorable, sweet girl that is full of life. I hope that all such children will have a chance to live.
