"In memory of the fallen" - Firefighters, rightly, Yes; Unborn, wrongly, No

Charleston Firefighter Rob Fulmer moved his thumb along the edge of a sticker affixed to the side of Engine #10 - smoothing it over and over and over until it was just so. The sticker reads, "In memory of the fallen."
www.thestate.com/136/story/99230.html / June 22, 2007

It is right to memorialize the brave and sacrificial lives of the nine Charleston firefighters who died in the line of duty on June 18, bravely protecting the city and saving the lives of two citizens caught in the blaze.
www.thestate.com/156/story/95778.html

An estimated 30,000 firefighters from around the country, plus thousands of other citizens attended the Memorial Service for these nine courageous men. As thousands lined the streets to pay their respects, about 100 fire trucks joined in a procession, past the furniture store fire scene and past Charleston fire houses, enroute to the North Charleston Coliseum where the nine caskets were displayed for the Memorial Service.

Yet, just over a mile away, in the same "West Ashley" area just outside of Charleston, at the Charleston Women's "Medical" [child-murder/abortion] Center over 50 pre-birth children have/will likely die this week alone***, and who will memorialize the loss of their lives ? Who will even notice ? Can we admit that these murdered children are also human beings, are also 'persons,' worthy of being memorialized as well ?They had not had the opportunity to be born and perform brave deeds of courage,but were they not still "lives worthy of life" to be respected instead of slaughtered ?


www.antiabortionsigns.com/catalog.html

*** The Charleston Women's Medical Center reported murdering 2,797 pre-birth children in 2005 alone, according to SC DHEC figures. From 1988 to 2005, this abortion death camp has reported murdering from a minimum of 2,162 (in 1995) to a maximum of 2,835 (in 2004) pre-birth children each year, for a total of 46,540 CHILDREN MURDERED IN CHARLESTON'S WEST ASHLEY CHILD-MURDER-BY-ABORTION DEATH CAMP in just these 18 years -they have NEVER BEEN MEMORIALIZED in a manner commensurate with this holocaust.

Nine brave firefighters sacrificed their lives on Monday, June 18 while fighting a raging fire that was described as a "30-foot tornado of flames," and trying to save the lives of two employees at the Super Sofa Store, 1807 Savannah Highyway (US Rte 17), Charleston, South Carolina. It was the "worst single incident to claim U.S. firefighters" lives since the Sept. 11 attacks." (www.thestate.com/156/story/95778.html).

www.thestate.com/312/story/99231.html
The fire Monday night created the single largest loss of firefighters' lives since the Sept. 11 terror attacks. Beside the caskets, the faces of its victims looked out proudly from large photos: Capt. William "Billy" Hutchinson, 48; Capt. Mike Benke, 49; Capt. Louis Mulkey, 34; Mark Kelsey, 40; Bradford "Brad" Baity, 37; Michael French, 27; James "Earl" Drayton, 56; Brandon Thompson, 27; and Melvin Champaign, 46.

"We've lost over 100 years of service," said Charleston Fire Chief Rusty Thomas at a Tuesday afternoon press conference. "I lost nine of my best friends."
www.thestate.com/156/story/95778.html

These firefighters and rescuers were heroic in their efforts. One of the speakers at today's (June 22) Memorial Service said, "To save a human life is a necessity for a firefighter." Scripture references had been made to the words of Jesus about greater love hath no man than to lay down his life for his friends, and that whatsoever you do to the least of these My brothers, you do unto Me. So why are these same thoughts not also applied to the rescuing of the lives of the unborn being slaughtered just over a mile from where this tragic loss of nine lives occurred at the Super Sofa Store near the corner of the Savannah Highway (U.S. Rte 17) and Wappoo Road ?

Who will protect and rescue the lives of the children being butchered on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays according to the CWMC's own website, on a weekly basis ?!!!

For several years now, Voice of the Unborn director Johnny Gardner has been lobbying the SC Legislature for a suitable memorial to the Unborn who have lost their lives in our statebecause of the on going holocaust and tragedy of abortion. Over 317,000 children have been murdered from 1973-2005 in South Carolina by surgical abortion alone.

Unborn Children's Monument Commission
H.3273
www.scstatehouse.net/sess117_2007-2008/bills/3273.htm

Introduced in the House on January 17, 2007
Currently residing in the House Committee on Education and Public Works


A JOINT RESOLUTION

TO CREATE THE SOUTH CAROLINA UNBORN CHILDREN'S MONUMENT COMMISSION TO ERECT A MONUMENT ON THE STATE HOUSE GROUNDS AS A MEMORIAL TO SOUTH CAROLINA CHILDREN WHOSE LIVES ENDED BEFORE THEIR BIRTH AND TO PROVIDE FOR THE POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE COMMISSION AND TO REQUIRE PRIVATE FUNDING FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THIS MONUMENT.

Mr. Mike Warren, Rochester, NY, minister and pro-life leader:
"True repentance is not possible until the truth regarding the need of repentance is comprehended."

How many Christians understand the Biblical doctrine of corporate bloodguilt,and therefore realize that all of us in America are stained with bloodguiltiness, as is the land itself ? How many pastors have the courage to preach it in the pulpit ?
(e.g., Deuteronomy 19:10, 13; Numbers 35:33; Deuteronomy 21:1-9; Jeremiah 26:15)

"If My people, which are called by My Name (born-again Christians), shall humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."2 Chronicles 7:14

Abortion in America can be ended in one week by passing H.R. 2597 and removing appellate jurisdiction from the U.S. Supreme Court, to prevent the overturn of this bill, which if passed would ban abortion nationwide
( see H.R. 2597, the Sanctity of Life Act of 2007 at http://thomas.loc.gov/ )

Abortion in each state can be ended by passing no exceptions fetal 'personhood'bills, similar to as H.3284, the Right to Life Act of SC; and/or by passing constitutional amendments, similar to HB 403 in the State of Montana

SC RTL Act delayed by House Republican leader for Ultrasound Bill in 2007 Session

Correction and revision of earlier April 29, 2007 report:

SC House Republican leader delaying progress of Right to Life Act of SC to facilitate passage of Ultrasound bill during the 2007 Session

In an earlier April 29, 2007 report, it was reported that Rep. Delleney was blocking the progress of the Right to Life Act, and the question was raised whether or not he was still supporting the bill (H.3284). This report did not accurately reflect Rep. Delleney's position, and I apologize to Rep. Delleney for the error. I should have waited longer until Rep. Delleney had clarified his position, instead of sending out that report too hastily.

Republican Chairman of the House Constitutional Laws Subcommittee, Rep. Greg Delleney (R-Chester) has decided not to hold a public hearing on the RTL Act of SC (H.3284) until action is complete in the SC General Assembly on the Ultrasound bill (H.3355). The 2007 regular session ends June 7.

Once action is complete on the Ultrasound bill, Rep. Delleney has stated he will then sign on as a co-sponsor of the Right to Life Act of SC, and grant us a public hearing. The Ultrasound bill passed the House on March 22, and passed the Senate, amended, on May 17. The House then further amended the Senate version on May 24, but the Senate non-concurred on May 29. The House insisted on their amendment May 30, and appointed three members to a conference committee. So it appears the Ultrasound bill will continue to obstruct the RTL Act through the end of the regular 2007 Session. The net effect is that the public hearing for the RTL Act will not be held until the 2008 Session. This would be a delay of House action of nearly a year.

Meanwhile, the Senate version of the RTL Act (S.313), introduced January 23, will not be assigned to a Subcommittee by the Judiciary Chairman, Senator Glenn McConnell (R-Charleston), until after the end of the regular 2007 Session on June 7.

The 2007 Republican-majority make-up of the SC Senate is 24 Republicans and 20 Democrats (with two vacant seats that had been occupied by Republicans).

These are the five members (3 Rep's, 2 Dem's) of the SC House Constitutional Laws Subcommittee:

(presently is a co-sponsor of H.3284, the RTL Act of SC)
Representative James H. Harrison, ( R ) District 75 - Richland Co.
Representative Creighton B. Coleman, ( D ) District 41 - Chester & Fairfield Cos.
Representative Fletcher N. Smith, Jr., ( D ) District 23 - Greenville Co.

SC House Judiciary Committee, April 5, 2005 - H.3213
Following debate, bill passed favorably by vote of 15 - 5 (roll call)

The Attorney General of SC Legal Opinion dated March 30, 2005 stated the Right to Life Act of SC is constitutional on its face, though would have to be adjudicated if applied to abortion. To see the SC A/G's written opinion, go to # 23 on the 'RTL Act of SC' page of
http://www.christianlifeandliberty.net/:

Legal Opinion (2005) of South Carolina Attorney General on the Right to Life Act of SC
"Accordingly, it is our opinion that the Right to Life Act is constitutional."

On the floor of the SC House on April 13, 2005, to the surprise of Columbia Christians for Life and Voice of the Unborn, a 'fatal flaw' rape exception amendment for the so-called 'morning-after pill' was added. The bill passed the full SC House by a vote of 95 - 18 on April 13, 2005 with the rape exception amendment.

As explained in the Roe v Wade decision itself over 34 years ago, exceptions to "personhood" undermine the legal concept and strategy of fetal "personhood." The 1973 Roe text clearly stated that if fetal personhood was established, then the abortion argument would collapse. This is why the rape exception amendment added on the SC House floor was therefore a "fatal flaw" to the bill. As the Roe decision explained in a footnote by pro-abort Roe author Justice Harry Blackmun, there can be no 'exceptions' to the assertion of fetal personhood. In other words, when it comes to banning abortion, 'exceptions' to personhood are unconstitutional. See quotes from 1973 Roe decision, and links to Roe decision at:
www.christianlifeandliberty.net/H3213-S111-1032.doc

"Good" is the enemy of God's "best": the Ultrasound bill versus the Right to Life Act of SC

The Right to Life Act of SC was first introduced in both the SC House and SC Senate in February 1998. The Ultrasound bill on the other hand, is the latest in a long string of incrementalist, abortion-regulation bills, supported by the National Right to Life state chapter, SC Citizens for Life (http://sclife.org/), going back at least 17 years to 1990. In a very real, practical sense, the Ultrasound bill during the 2007 SC Legislative Session (January 9 through June 7) has been a hindrance, obstruction, and distraction, in the view of CCL, to a more proper focus on principled abortion-ban legislation (like the RTL Act). God's requirement in the case of Murder is JUSTICE, not Regulation ! (e.g., Romans 13:1-4, Genesis 9:6, Micah 6:8, Amos 5:15, Deut. 25:1). The SCCL website does not even mention the Right to Life Act of SC. As Oswald Chambers' devotional entitled "My Utmost For His Highest" says, in so many words: "Good" is the enemy of God's "best."

_______________________________________


If you are a born-again Christian, please pray for passage of the RTL Act of SC in 2008. The Supreme Court said in Roe over 34 years ago that if legal 'personhood' was established for the fetus (pre-birth human being) without 'exception,' that the abortion argument would collapse. The RTL Act of SC does this very thing. Abortion could have been stopped 34 years ago.

"But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it."

CHURCH PETITIONS and E-MAIL LISTS for RIGHT TO LIFE ACT OF SC

Petition Campaign and E-mail Contact and Alert List initiated:

At the "JESUS is Pro-Life" Rally in front of the SC State House on January 22, 2007, hosted jointly by Voice of the Unborn and Columbia Christians for Life, a campaign was initiated to gather names to Petition our SC Legislature and Governor to pass the Right to Life Act of SC, and outlaw abortion in our State. An E-mail Contact and Alert List was started as well.

To date, over 563 names from at least 11 identified churches have been collected in the ongoing Petition Campaign: (only one name per line counted)

Blacksburg - Lighthouse Baptist Church - 61 names

Boiling Springs - Gateway Baptist Church - 102 names

Cayce - Bethany Baptist Church - 13 names
- Gantt Street Baptist Church - 123 names

Columbia - Columbia World Outreach Church - 40 names

Darlington - Victory Baptist Church - 30 names

Gaston - Mount Pleasant Baptist Church - 27 names

Goose Creek - Open Door Bible Baptist Church - 30 names

Lexington - Beacon Baptist Church - 18 names

West Columbia - Joel Baptist Church - 19 names

York - Blessed Hope Baptist Church and School - 47 names

Plus, 53 names gathered at the January 22, 2007 at the "JESUS is Pro-Life" Rally

_______________________________________________________
Total: 10 cities/towns, 11 identified churches, over 563 names

Currently, a public hearing for the Right to Life Act of SC (H.3284 / S.313) has not yet been scheduled in either the SC House or the SC Senate. The first presentation of these petitions is, Lord willing, expected to be at the public hearing for H.3284 before the Constitutional Laws Subcommittee of the SC House Judiciary Committee, on the 5th floor of the Blatt Building on the State House grounds at a future (hopefully soon) date.

So there is still time for residents of South Carolina to send in your petitions ! Most of the Petition lists and names so far have been from Independent Baptist churches and individuals. However other Christian evangelical churches and individuals can also help in this effort. The Petition simply reads:

PETITION

To the South Carolina General Assembly and Governor for passage into law of the Right to Life Act of SC, and for the outlawing of the practice of abortion in our State.

The person collecting the names is then asked to mail the signed petitions to:

Columbia Christians for Life, PO Box 50358, Columbia, SC 29250 (803-765-0916).

This will be an ongoing project until child-murder-by-abortion is outlawed by the South Carolina General Assembly and Governor of South Carolina.

"Protesters call on legislators to outlaw abortions"

Beaufort Gazette, Beaufort, SC

Published (on-line) Mon, Jan 22, 2007
(to be posted on-line at www.ChristianLifeandLiberty.net , click on "Events")
[Excerpts, highlighting emphasis added]

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Abortion foes rallied outside the Statehouse on Monday to call on South Carolina legislators to outlaw abortions on the anniversary of the case that made them legal. [sic]

"Today marks one of the darkest days our country has known," the Rev. Charles Butler, of Souls Afire Baptist Church in Orangeburg, said of the Roe v. Wade decision, handed down 34 years ago Monday.

He urged anti-abortion activists to get involved in government. "It is high time we take our government back from the infidels," Butler said.

Voice of the Unborn director Johnny Gardner said he fears God will destroy America for its sinfulness.

"Either we repent or, as a nation, we will parish," said Gardner, who's frequently seen inside the Statehouse carrying dolls and pushing strollers to protest abortion.

He criticized state senators for letting a bill dubbed the "Right to Life Act," which cleared the South Carolina House in 2005, die in committee. The bill, which would extend legal rights to fertilization, was reintroduced in the House last week.

Gardner also asked lawmakers to approve a monument on Statehouse grounds recognizing fetuses aborted in South Carolina to "express sorrow, remorse, repentance."

Steve LeFemine [correction: Lefemine], of Columbia Christians for Life, called abortion "evil" and said South Carolina should lead the nation in testing Roe v. Wade.

"You know who's behind abortion? Satan himself," shouted the Rev. Stan Craig of Choice Hills Baptist Church in Greenville. "Our American flag has been turned into a bloody butcher's apron. ... Our American flag is dripping with the blood of innocent children."

Bill History

This bill has been continuously filed in the South Carolina House of Representatives since 1998, and has been filed in the South Carolina Senate first in 1998, and then, 2005, 2006, and 2007. For the first time, it passed the House of Representatives on April 13, 2005 by a vote of 95-18 (95 'Yes' - 66 R's + 29 D's versus 18 'No' - 1 R + 17 D's), albeit with a fatal flaw rape 'exception' amendment which had been proposed by a Representative who is now no longer a member of the SC House. The bill had 52 co-sponsors (47 R's, 5 D's) before this vote on Second Reading.

[Interesting historical footnote: Union forces occupying Fort Sumter in Charleston (SC) harbor surrendered on April 13, 1861 after a day and a half of bombardment by Confederate artillery.]

Then after two Senate Judiciary Subcommittee hearings (with no vote) in May 2005, the bill was stalled there in Chairman Senator Jim Ritchie's (R-Spartanburg) subcommittee the short remainder of the 2005 Legislative Session, and then the entire January thru June 2006 session, killing the bill:

S.C. Gov. Supports Pre-Abortion-Ultrasound Bill

www.covenantnews.com/blog/archives/028618.html

The S.C. Ultrasound bill (H.3355) Regulates Child-Murder-by-Abortion. It may reduce abortions, but it will also prolong the practice of "legalized" ABORTION. In the 34-year battle to end abortion, it is yet another strategic and moral error, adopting the incrementalist approach to reducing the number of abortions, while distracting the pro-life community efforts and resources from the proper focus on ending abortion. As Oswald Chambers' devotional "My Utmost For His Highest" says, in so many words: "Good" is the enemy of God's "best."

God's requirement in the case of Murder is JUSTICE, not Regulation !
(Romans 13:1-4; Michah 6:8)

Why isn't Governor Sanford supporting the now nine-year-old Right to Life Act of SC (H.3284/S.313) to establish justice by recognizing the unborn as legal 'persons,' thereby ending legalized abortion ?

The Right to Life Act of SC fulfills the Biblical Mandate to "Establish Justice" for the Unborn - the S.C. Ultrasound bill "Regulates Murder."

S.C. Gov. Supports Pre-Abortion-Ultrasound Bill
(Read editor's note)

March 20, 2007

CovenantNews.com
www.covenantnews.com/blog/archives/028618.html

Tim Smith / The Greenville News:
Gov. Mark Sanford on Monday backed a House bill (H. 3355) requiring women to view an ultrasound image of the fetus before [the state helps them murder their babies by abortion]. His spokesman said the governor opposes an amendment granting an exception for victims of rape or incest. The House is scheduled to resume debate on the legislation, which could be the first of its kind in the nation, this week. "I believe life is sacred, and in the debate over when life begins, I believe that as a society we should always err on the side of life," Sanford's statement said.

http://greenvilleonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070320/NEWS01/703200361

Editor's note:
In reference to South Carolina's pre-abortion-ultrasound legislation, Gov. Mark Sanford's statements, "I believe life is sacred" and "as a society we should always err on the side of life," are clearly false imaginations meant to entertain a particular voting block - a voting block that is ignorant of what exactly the legislation says or what it means.

In the bill's first statement to "The Committee On Judiciary" it tells what it relates to:
"relating to prerequisites for the performance of an abortion."

How does legislation that spells out "the performance of an abortion" even remotely sound like the Governor believes "life is sacred?"

Is this what the "sacredness of human life" represents to "pro-lifers" in South Carolina, that in the "performance of an abortion, life is sacred?" It sounds like devil-worshipers wrote this legislation to sacrifice babies to their "sacred" gods.

Also, Gov. Sanford's statement that, "we should always err on the side of life," is erroneous. Oh, the governor and lawmakers erred all right, but they erred on the side of death. This is what a baby looks like after he's had his pre-abortion-ultrasound. Does the end result of this law look "pro-life" to you?

What Gov. Mark Sanford and the state lawmakers have done is relinquish their God ordained duty to use the sword of the State as a "minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil." Specifically, it is their duty to arrest, prosecute and punish people who murder babies in the State of South Carolina. But what these office holders have done is become evangelical targets - a specific people to be called to repentance for defiling civil government by shedding innocent blood.

Are these office holders aware of the fact that if this bill becomes law it will make them directly accountable for the murder of every child killed under these regulations? The blood of babies like this will be on their hands.

Christians in South Carolina should know that murderers "shall not inherit the kingdom of God."(Galatians 5:21). And that "murderers... shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." (Rev.21:8)

As long as Christians elect men to civil office who relinquish their God ordained duty by approving of murder, then Christians in America will be ruled and judged by the damned - as is the case in South Carolina.

FIFTH ANNUAL "REPENTANCE FOR BLOODGUILT" SERVICE IN COLUMBIA, SC:

As America considers the twin major national security issues of 1) millions of illegal aliens already having entered our country, and 2) the disaster from the undeclared, and therefore unconstitutional, and therefore illegal; as well as unjustified (no 9-11 connection, no WMD's),and therefore unnecessary (not a "just" war), and therefore immoral War in Iraq, REMEMBER:

It is God alone Who can bring peace and security to a land (Lev. 26:5,6)...

Foreign invasion and War are divine consequences upon a nation, any nation, for the shedding of innocent blood (e.g., 2 Kings 24:1-4)...

As has been said, it's now Christ, or Chaos (and then Tyranny)...

Repent, Church ! Repent, America !

FIFTH ANNUAL "REPENTANCE FOR BLOODGUILT" SERVICE IN COLUMBIA, SC:
(since January 2003)

REPENTANCE FOR BLOODGUILT
OUTDOOR WORSHIP SERVICE

Sunday, January 21, 2007
South Steps, SC State House
Columbia, South Carolina

PURPOSE and VISION

The Repentance for Bloodguilt outdoor worship service is a gathering of Christians assembled to join in prayer, praise, worship and the declaring of God's Word as we:

1) Repent and ask the Lord's forgiveness for our corporate bloodguiltiness.
Bloodguilt is upon us, our city, our state, and all its inhabitants, especially the Church (2 Chron. 7:14), which has failed to love her unborn neighbors as herself, for the over 317,000 unborn children who have been murdered by surgical abortion on South Carolina soil since the wicked and unconstitutional Roe v. Wade supreme Court decision of 1973 (thru 2005), and most likely several times more than that number aborted chemically. Their shed innocent blood pollutes the very ground of our city and state (Nu. 35:33), and cries out to God for divine vengeance and recompensation (Gen. 4:10).

2) Beseech the Lord, to end completely the sin of shedding innocent blood in Columbia and in SC, not by our might and power, but by His Spirit, as HE is already doing closing four abortion centers in the Columbia area, and by closing six other abortion centers in our state (Ps. 24:7-10; Matt.16:18; Ps.110:1).

GOD BLESS AMERICA ?
Johnny Gardner, Voice of the Unborn, Bible in hand, preached one of two messages given during the Repentance for Bloodguilt service. Only nine people total in a State of over 4,000,000 were present at this outdoor worship service, two of whom were from the local ABC TV news affiliate. The second message at this service was preached by Steve Lefemine, Columbia Christians for Life.

__________________________________________

There is a great lack of understanding, because there is a great lack of pulpit preaching, about the Biblical doctrine of corporate bloodguilt, and yet the Scriptural Truth that God judges nations that shed innocent blood is already manifesting itself in America (e.g., Columbine H.S., 9-11, foreign invasion of 10-20 Million illegal aliens across America's southern border), and may one day bring the calamitous devastation which came upon the nation of Judah, beginning in 586 BC, as recorded in 2 Kings 24:1-4: "And the LORD... sent them [pagan nations] against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD, which He spake by His servants the prophets [God is still speaking by His servants today]. Surely at the commandment of the LORD came this upon Judah,... for the sins of Manasseh [earlier king who practiced witcraft and child-sacrifice], according to all that he did; And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not pardon."

[ So when are Congress and the President going to use the power they have had for the last 34+ years to END Abortion in America in One Week by limiting the appellate jurisdiction of the US supreme Court ? See HR 300 at http://thomas.loc.gov/. Why didn't the Republican-majority US House, the Republican-majority US Senate, and the Republican US President pass HR 776 (http://thomas.loc.gov/) in the 109th Congress (2005-2006) ? Because our Congress and President are wicked and cowardly. And because God gives us the leaders we deserve (Isaiah 3:12). We have politicians instead of Christian statesmen in office, and we have wicked laws instead of God's moral law, because the Church of Jesus Christ in America is lacking in faith, knowledge, obedience, courage, discipleship, discernment and obedience ! Take for example, the "common wisdom" among foolish, worldly, undiscipled evangelical Christians, of "voting for the lesser of two evils" - this is but worldly, carnal and demonic - the Scripture clearly shows that God has called us to "holiness" (e.g., 1 Peter 1:16), not any so-called "lesser" form of evil ! God has not called us to "evil," period ! He has called us to holiness ! And so over 1 Million prebirth children are slaughtered every year ! When the Church of Jesus Christ in America learns how to fight with the spiritual weapons that He has given us, then HE, God, will give us the victory ! It's HIS battle ! ]

So when is the US Congress going to pass HR 300 and END child-murder-by-abortion ? When are the State Legislatures going to pass the state-level bills that recognize legal "personhood" for the "fetus" at fertilization ( thus satisfying the formula in Roe v. Wade for collapsing the pro-abortion argument, as documented right in the text of Roe itself ! ) and ban abortion ?

REPENT AMERICA - JESUS is the Standard
In the background is the pinkish orange Pro-sodomite Episcopal "Church" building where SC's Republican Governor Mark Sanford had his Inaugural Prayer Service on January 10, 2007, just 11 days before this Repentance for Bloodguilt outdoor worship service. South Carolina's abominable sins crying out for Repentance do not end with child-murder-by-abortion, but include sodomy, blasphemy (e.g., ecumenism), and idolatry (e.g., mammon worship) as well. The spirit of Jezebel has also strongly manifested in SC, as in the rest of America, in our rebellion against God's created order, vis-a-vis the God-given roles of men and women, as revealed in the Scriptures.

_________________________________________

If child-murder-by-abortion were to end today in America, there would stillremain the need to REPENT for all the innocent blood which has been already shed (over 47 Million murdered by surgical abortion alone, not counting the likely multiple times that number chemically aborted by dual action contraceptive/abortifacient "birth control" pills, Depo-Provera, etc., ad nauseam).

Bloodshed following bloodshed (e.g., gang, domestic, and school violence), foreign invasion (e.g., 10 to 20 million illegal Mexican and other aliens through our intentionally undefended southern border), and our nation being turned over to tyranny, are all scripturally predictable consequences of our ongoing murder of innocent children in the wombs of their mothers.

The shedding of innocent blood is the root cause of the loss of national security, the terrorist attacks, the invasion by illegal aliens, and the loss of our civil liberties (e.g., the so-called "Patriot Act"). That is why the answer must start with REPENTANCE to God, because we have sinned against HIM, and HE now has become our enemy, turning us over to our human oppressors and enemies here on earth. That's how He works.

See Hosea 4:2; Jeremiah 19:3-15; 2 Kings 24:1-4; and Psalm 106:37-42

But we have blind leaders being followed by a blind people in America, and it is neither a Church nor Civil Government priority to bring child-murder to an end... when it could be ended in a week, because Congress has the power to limit the appellate jurisdiction of the US supreme Court ! Just listen to the 2007 Legislative Priorities of both State and Federal leaders, both legislative and executive, and you will see there is a normally a total absence of even any mention of the murder of 3,000 plus pre-birth human beings PER DAY in America.

For example, Republican SC Governor Mark Sanford's Inaugural Speech on January 13, 2007 - not one word about 125+ children/week killed in SC:

Two Witnesses for 'Life' at SC Inauguration Ceremony

Text of Gov. Mark Sanford's inaugural speech
www.thestate.com/mld/thestate/living/16427572.htm

The level of blindness is astounding. And it's the same in the Church - which is actually more responsible and culpable than civil government. The Church is both the problem and the answer to ending child-murder in America. Repent, Church ! Repent, America ! As the Church goes, so goes the nation ! We are called to be Salt and Light. We are to be the pillars of Truth for a nation. We have failed America miserably, and We (are and) will be judged (by persecution) for our miserable failure !

In the background to the right barely visible is The African American History Monument,
"The first of its kind on any of the nation's state house grounds,..." [dedicated March 29, 2001] www.discoversouthcarolina.com/products/3783.aspx

"This monument traces African-American history from the Middle Passage, to the fight for freedom in the Civil War, the struggle for civil rights and emergence into mainstream America. Among the 12 scenes are images that depict a family on the auction block, slaves working in a rice field, men and women celebrating the Emancipation Proclamation, the Jim Crow era, the Northern migration, and images of African Americans today pioneering in such fields as engineering, law education, sports, politics and space exploration."

[ CCL Note: As excellent as the 12 scenes are in depicting the historical progression of the condition of Blacks in America over the centuries, it is unfortunate that the occultic imagery of an obelisk (used in pagan worship of the sun, such as in ancient Egypt at Heliopolis), has also been incorporated as the tallest part of this monument. ]

Slavery in America ended in 1865 with the passage of the 13th Amendment. This monument on the grounds of the SC State House was not dedicated until over 136 years later. Likewise, in the case of State-protected child-murder-by-abortion, an effort is being made, to not only END the wicked practice of child-murder-by-abortion by passing the Right to Life Act of SC (H.3284), but also to erect a monument as a memorial to the South Carolina children whose lives have already been ended before their birth. It is the testimony of Johnny Gardner, Voice of the Unborn,that God gave him the idea of pursuing this goal of a memorial monument for the unborn.

When child-murder-by-abortion ends one day in America (when pro-life Christians stop following the false lead of the Roman-Catholic-Bishop-founded National Right to Life Committee, in incessantly finding new ways to "regulate" child-murder, instead of applying God's requirement for Biblical "Justice" (i.e., capital punishment for abortionist-murderers and the end of abortion), there will still remain the need for the Nation, the States, the Churches, Families, and individuals, throughout America, to Repent, because if child-murder-by-abortion were to end TODAY (March 9, 2007), there would still be a need to REPENT for the 47 Million+ already murdered (and this does not count the likely multiple tens of millions aborted chemically by "birth control" pills, Depo-Provera, etc., etc., etc.).

Just as there is the need for the Nation, the States, the Churches, Families, and individuals of both the North and South, to Repent, where it has not been done already, for the national sin of slavery, which was not ended until 1865 by the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution, after Americans fought our most costly war (approx. 620,000 dead), against each other !!! The 13th Amendment stopped the perpetration of the sin and crime of American slavery, but that's not the same as repenting, saying we as a nation are sorry, for what had already been done during 250 years of "unrequited toil," as Lincoln said, from the early days of colonial Jamestown, VA (founded in 1607), prior to 1865.

The Southern Baptist Convention repented in its 1995 national convention in Atlanta, GA, for slavery and racism. Just recently, in February 2007, the Virginia state legislature has also now apologized:

www.thestate.com/mld/thestate/news/16777578.htm

Just as the national sin of American slavery brought God's judgment of war upon both the North and South in 1861, so is the national sin of child-murder-by-abortion bringing war, terrorism, domestic violence, foreign invasion, etc., as divine judgments upon our wicked nation today.

George Mason, Virginia delegate, August 22, 1787, in the Constitutional Convention:
('Father of the Bill of Rights')
"Every master of slaves is born a petty tyrant. They bring the judgment of heaven upon a country. As nations cannot be rewarded or punished in the next world, they must be in this. By an inevitable chain of causes and effects, Providence punishes nation sins by national calamities."


Child-murder-by-abortion is a national sin. 9-11 was a national calamity. More and greater divine judgment is coming upon America, unless we repent of the national sin of abortion. If we will not repent of the national sin of abortion, then the America of today will be destroyed, just as God destroyed the kingdom of Judah, with successive waves of foreign invasion in 605 BC, 597 BC, and 586 BC (2 Kings, chapters 24 and 25). We've already been attacked on September 11, 2001. What will it be next, America ? What will it be next, Church ? Repentance finally, or further and greater divine judgment ?

Abraham Lincoln, President, March 4, 1865 Second Inaugural Address:
www.bartleby.com/124/pres32.html

"One-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was somehow the cause of the war."

"If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him? 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." "

In spite of all his failings, Lincoln was right in his March 4, 1865 Second Inaugural Address,when he said God gave "this terrible war" to BOTH North and South for the offense of slavery.

And today, God is bringing (increasing) divine judgment on America in the year 2007, for our ongoing, unrepented, national sin of child-murder-by-abortion.

As America considers the twin major national security issues of 1) millions of illegal aliens already having entered our country, and 2) the disaster from the undeclared, and therefore unconstitutional, and therefore illegal; as well as unjustified (no 9-11 connection, no WMD's), and therefore unnecessary (not a "just" war), and therefore immoral War in Iraq, REMEMBER:

It is God alone Who can bring peace and security to a land (Lev. 26:5,6)...

Foreign invasion and War are divine consequences upon a nation,any nation, for the shedding of innocent blood (e.g., 2 Kings 24:1-4)...

As has been said, it's now Christ, or Chaos (and then Tyranny)...

Repent, Church ! Repent, America !

National Right to Life and the Republican Party are wrong. The composition of the US supreme Court is not what has to change to end abortion. If the Christians of America would simply read Article III., Section 2. of their own national covenant, the US Constitution, perhaps they would understand that Congress and the President have had the power to end abortion in America in a week's time, for now almost 34 years !

PRESIDENT BUSH and CONGRESS COULD END ABORTION IN AMERICA IN ONE WEEK:
President Bush and the US Congress have the power NOW to end abortion in America in one week:
Pass HR 552, the "Right to Life Act", amended with the addition of the Article III., Section 2. power of the US Congress in the US Constitution to limit the appellate jurisdiction of the US supreme Court, and the complete jurisdiction of the lower federal courts (US District Courts and US Circuit Courts of Appeal, which were created by Congress by federal statute, and could even be eliminated by Congress by federal statute, let alone have their jurisdictions limited).
[ see HR 618 and HR 300, 110th Congress, at http://thomas.loc.gov/ ]
www.christianlifeandliberty.net/CCL05-21.doc

US House limits jurisdiction of Federal Courts regarding the Pledge of Allegiance Employs Article III., Section 2. constitutional power of the US Congress to limit the appellate jurisdiction of the US supreme Court:
This same Article III., Section 2. constitutional power of the US Congress to limit the appellate jurisdiction of the US supreme Court can be further applied to protect the God-ordained institution of marriage, to protect state-level laws banning acts of sodomy, to protect federal and state laws banning abortion, and to protect the freedom of religious expression that is guaranteed by the First Amendment of the US Constitution, vis-a-vis public displays of the Ten Commandments, and public prayer in the Name of Jesus. www.christianlifeandliberty.net/CONSTLAW06-01.DOC

The Article III., Section 2. legal strategy espoused in the article above is embodied in HR 300, the We the People Act of 2007, sponsored by US Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas).

Congressman Paul's bill would return to the States their Sovereign Rights to:

- Acknowledge God
(issues related to prayer in Jesus' Name, and posting of the Ten Commandments),

- Ban Child-Murder-By-Abortion

- Ban Sodomy (not just ban sodomite couplings, "marriage," and "civil unions")

See HR 300 at http://thomas.loc.gov - check the list of co-sponsors, if your US House member is not a co-sponsor, contact and ask them to sign on as a co-sponsor to HR 300. Ask both of your US Senate members to introduce a bill in the US Senate similar to HR 300 in the US House.
