Two Witnesses for 'Life' at SC Inauguration Ceremony

"STOP ABORTION NOW"

"REPENT AMERICA - JESUS is the Standard"

"GOD BLESS AMERICA ?"

Republican Governor Mark Sanford and eight other SC State Officers sworn-in with 'So Help me God' Oaths of Office - but not a single word in Mark Sanford's Inaugural Address mentioned the 6,500+ humans slain each year in SC's government-protected child-murder death camps

As SC's Executive, Legislative, and Judicial leaders assembled January 10, two pro-life witnesses for Christ pictured below attempted to call attention to the plight of SC's innocent children being slaughtered in the womb

Two Witnesses for 'Life' at SC Inauguration Ceremony:

One law enforcement supervisor initially tried to move our witness further away from here, but we did not move, and a "command decision" was made to allow us to remain. Praise the Lord. This and other Inaugural Activities had been widely publicized as being "Open to the Public."

"REPENT AMERICA - JESUS is the Standard"

"GOD BLESS AMERICA ?"

News coverage:

Sanford says it's time for big changes in S.C.

The State, Columbia, SC (Posted on Thu, Jan. 11, 2007) www.thestate.com/mld/thestate/living/16430281.htm

[Excerpts, emphasis added]

'Saying he's wiser and more humble than he was four years ago, Gov. Mark Sanford took the oath of office Wednesday on the State House's south steps at high noon under a striking, cloudless blue sky.'

'Sanford, 46, sworn in by S.C. Chief Justice Jean Toal...'

'Sanford told the estimated 2,000 people gathered in white chairs on the Capitol grounds and thousands more watching or listening on radio and television,...'

'As he did four years ago, Sanford referenced the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and again quoted the Bible's book of Ecclesiastes. Then, it was the biblical message that "where there is no vision, the people perish." Wednesday it was Ecclesiastes' message that, "for everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven."'

( Note from CCL: It is Proverb 29:18 (not anywhere in the Book of Ecclesiastes) that says: "Where there is no vision, the people perish:..." Considering the failure of SC's political leaders to perform one of their highest duties as civil ministers, to establish justice, and to prevent the shedding of innocent blood, including politically-calculating Republican Governor, Mark Sanford; and the Republican SC Senate President Pro Tempore, Senator Glenn McConnell (Charleston); and the Republican SC House Speaker, Representative Bobby Harrell, Jr. (Charleston); in light of the horrible slaughter of over 6,500 human beings per year, primarily in South Carolina's three main abortuaries in Greenville, Columbia, and Charleston (http://www.ldi.org/), it is clear that we as a people are perishing, in a land where there is no vision, but rather great blindness, in our state's political leaders, and the people who vote to elect them to office. Here in "Bible-belt" South Carolina, we continue to elect "politicians" instead of Christian statesmen. )

[Governor Sanford:]

"Our vision is that South Carolina becomes a state that is second to none in offering economic opportunities to its people. A place where its citizens are better educated, healthier and ready to meet the challenges of the 21st century."

( Note from CCL: Here above, is Mark Sanford's vision. What's missing is a vision of a land of righteousness, and without God-honoring righteousness, such as that which caused God to bless and prosper this land and people for four centuries since 1607, neither will we be able to sustain prosperity, neither economic nor political: )

Text of Gov. Mark Sanford's inaugural speech

The State, Columbia, SC (Posted on Wed, Jan. 10, 2007) www.thestate.com/mld/thestate/living/16427572.htm

[Excerpts, emhasis added]

Prepared text of Gov. Mark Sanford's second inauguration speech
Jan. 10, 2007, Columbia

Gov. Mark Sanford: 'Thank you for that warm welcome.'

'Thank you as well to all the people of South Carolina for the honor of serving our state for the next four years.'

'While on the subject of thank yous:'

'I want to thank my Maker. I believe that God brought all of us to this moment. I am humbled in simply being here, and I'm humbled in how important the task of bringing change to our state is for every one of us.'

(continued...)

'I'm struck by how fundamentally the decisions of today will impact the South Carolina of tomorrow that each one of our children will one day inherit.'

( CCL Note: Yes Governor, and your failure, along with that of the SC Legislature to ban the murder of South Carolina's children in their mothers' wombs will continue to increase the judgment of God upon this state and nation in terms of crime, violence (Hosea 4:2), foreign invasion, and war (2 Kings 24:1-4). ALL of these judgments have already begun. Or have you missed the student violence in SC's government schools, and between gangs, the invasion of our state by illegal aliens from south of our nation's border, and the deployment and deaths of members of the South Carolina military in war zones ? ). Yes, it is God Who gives peace and prosperity to a land (e.g., Leviticus 26:5,6), when the people in a land obey His commandments. However, here in South Carolina, we refuse to obey His Sixth Commandment forbidding the murder of the innocent: "Thou shalt not kill (murder)." Exodus 20:13 )

[Governor Sanford:]

'I believe in the inherent dignity of each human soul. Our founding fathers were very deliberate in setting up a republic wherein each person was guaranteed life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.'

( CCL Note: Well Governor, then demonstrate that belief by your public support of the Right to Life Act of South Carolina, a bill first filed in 1998, and active every year since, to vest legal personhood at fertilization, thus protecting the right to life of those human souls from being unjustly extinguished by violent acts of child-murder by abortion. )

[Governor Sanford:]

'Five, we must commit to taking everyone with us on the voyage before us. In the Bible it talks of when you do it to the least of these you do it unto me.'

( CCL Note: Yes Governor, and that includes murdering children by abortion - that also is something we are doing to the least of these, and thus also doing to Jesus Christ. )

[Governor Sanford:]

'So we must be very deliberate in not only thinking of every South Carolinian as a brother or sister who deserves our respect and careful attention...'

( CCL Note: What about South Carolinians who are in the wombs of their mothers, and not yet born Governor Sanford ? Are we to also give them "our respect and careful attention" ? When are you going to give them more attention using your "bully pulpit" ? Why is it not yet worth an expenditure of your own "political capital" to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, the most defenseless, the most judicially innocent, the murdered unborn in South Carolina ? )

[Governor Sanford:]

'In his second annual message to Congress in 1862, Abraham Lincoln said:...'

( CCL Note: Governor Sanford, you quoted from President Lincoln's 1862 second annual message to Congress, but have you read this part of President Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address given on March 4, 1865 ?:

' Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether." ' ( www.bartleby.com/124/pres32.html )

Governor Sanford, one of God's "end-game" judgments upon a people and a land for the shedding of innocent blood is war - read 2 Kings 24:1-4. The War Between Americans (1861-1865) cost over 600,000 American lives, our nation's costliest war, more than WWII. What will God require of America TODAY, if "every drop of blood drawn with the abortionist's knife is paid for by another drawn on the field of military conflict" ? We've killed close to 50 million by surgical abortion alone (http://www.ldi.org/) in America since the 1973 unconstitutional Roe decision. )

[Governor Sanford:]

'Two hundred years ago South Carolinians like Rutledge, Lynch, Middleton and Heyward pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honor to a new form of government, and the question for each one of us is what will we commit.'

( CCL Note: Yes, Governor Sanford, 'what will [you] commit' to end the shedding of innocent blood of thousands each year in the state you govern ? Since your first inauguration in 2003, it is estimated that over 26,000 pre-birth children have been butchered on your watch as governor, by surgical abortion alone in the State of South Carolina. The land is polluted with their innocent blood - Numbers 35:33. )

[Governor Sanford:]

'In our collective hands are the keys to change. I need your help. I need not only the full participation of everyone gathered here today * but more powerfully the participation of citizens across this state.'

( CCL Note: Governor Sanford, we need your help to Establish Justice for pre-birth human beings in South Carolina ! More importantly, the thousands and thousands of pre-birth children who are in danger of being butchered in South Carolina abortuaries, between now and the end of your term of office in January 2011 need your help ! )
