Molech Renewal Pt.1: Ableism Drives Protests & Laws For The Right To MURDER Babies

Deut 18:9-14 ~  9-When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. 10- There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 11- Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12- For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee. 13- Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God. 14- For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.

Recently, I was brought to the edge of my seat reviewing a story of how multiple and sizeable protests broke out in Warsaw Poland when the Polish Supreme Court ruled against abortion in case of fetal defects. 

Hammered out in 1993 and for the last 27 years, Poles have had the right under law to abortion in case of fetal defect, rape, incest and life of the mother.


I was intrigued because there were over 100,000 protestors, mainly youth, who hit the streets immediately all saying that their "right" to kill a baby with a birth or material defect (which is in essence ableism) should be protected. This has led to multiple and ongoing protests, church vandalization and interruption of church services in many places as most people associate abortion restrictions with the church's position on a baby's right to life and "life at conception" doctrines embraced since Poland became a free country and apart from Communist rule.

Ableism & It's Practical Implications

Ableism ~ DISCRIMINATION in favor of those who are able bodied. It is the discrimination of and social prejudice against people with disabilities based on the belief that typical physical abilities are superior. At its heart, ableism is rooted in the assumption that disabled people require 'fixing' and defines the worth or value of people by their disability

Whether knowingly or unknowingly, these young people were not only promoting death of innocents, but also discrimination in the process. I would venture to say that if asked nearly all of them would  disagree with any form of discrimination. I also venture to say that many of them would also disagree with the killing or murder of any innocent person, but yet they are victims of their own logical inconsistency and irrational belief that children with birth defects such as Down Syndrome, or other physical defects in vitro, are less than human and not deserving of a right to live or exist. This is not only shocking but appalling! The mass appeal to kill babies made me shudder. 

Certainly this is not unique to Poland nor the EU. It seems that all around the world, in many "developed" countries under both Communist and Democratic rule, the right to kill babies is almost a non-negotiable, and in some cases, required part of life. 

For example, in Georgia, Pastor Rafael Warnock, who we have featured in our article,


"Politics, Abortion LUNACY & IGNORANCE" who is also running for Georgia US Senator, claims that the right to abortion, is not only consistent with biblical values, but also American freedoms and freedoms in general and he is willing to fight or that right. 

"I believe that healthcare is a human right, and I believe that it is something that the richest nation in the world provides for its citizens, and for me reproductive justice is consistent with my commitment to that. I believe unequivocally in a woman's right to choose, and that the decision is something that we don't want government engaged in. That's between her, and her doctor, and her minister..."

This man’s statement is much worse than it looks and he, surprisingly, is not ashamed. You mean to tell me that he doesn’t believe that the government should intervene in the murder of babies??? And that, a FATHER, y’u-know a MAN, that FATHERED the baby does not have any decisions in the rights and wellbeing of the child??? That a "doctor", and "minister", somehow become proxy director of the child’s life after fertilization??? 

This is COMIC-BOOK Christianity! Totally unworthy sentiments of a leader committed to the security and wellbeing of the innocents and preservation of the integrity of the gospel!

The good Rev-Rund can't have the spotlight all to himself, however. 

In a puzzling statement that misses the complete picture of the sanctity of life, destroys the biblical texts and that completely distorts facts, more than 5,000 pastors, calling themselves "Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden" who also “CLAIM”, to be against abortion and abortion politics, took time, prior to the election, to sign their name to their endorsement of Joe Biden.

Be clear, Joe Biden openly and unashamedly embraces not only abortion, but abortion in its most vile form (late term abortion) even up to the point of birth. Their SHODDY statement said the following:

"AS PRO-LIFE EVANGELICALS, WE DISAGREE WITH VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN AND THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM ON THE ISSUE OF ABORTION. BUT WE BELIEVE A BIBLICALLY SHAPED COMMITMENT TO THE SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE COMPELS US TO A CONSISTENT ETHIC OF LIFE THAT AFFIRMS THE SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE FROM BEGINNING TO END."

In their borderline endorsement of socialism and full rejection of the biblical view of the sanctity of human life, these alleged "ministers" go on to rationalize that since a primary cause of abortion within the United States is associated with "economics" and concerns over financial welfare and wellbeing of the mother, and that since Joe Biden allegedly has a "plan" to address economic security, they felt that their endorsement of him would be well placed, even in disagreement over abortion. 

Not to be overly political here, but I don't know what planet these APOSTATES were living on! Prior to coronavirus, EVERY SEGMENT of America, including Blacks and minorities were at historic levels of employment, income security and financial growth. Under President Trump the country had not experienced such economic advancement and productivity since reconstruction. So, in essence, their narrative was and is a completely false and one undeserving of their title of leaders within the body of Christ.

The State

Then there is the State, that seemingly loves the right to kill children. Look at Massachusetts which has consistently tried to expand abortion law unsuccessfully. Although 62% of MA citizens don’t want late term or expanded abortion to be legalized within their state when given the opportunity to respond. However, the majority liberals within MA legislature are bent on making sure that children can be killed all the way up until they are born by recently proposing to add late term abortion services and finances to the State budget through what is called Amendment 759. Supporting Bills have been presented such as Bill S1209 and Bill H3220. 

The proposed measures allows abortions when:

the patient is beyond 24 weeks from the commencement of pregnancy and the abortion is necessary to protect the patient’s life or physical or mental health, or in cases of lethal fetal abnormalities, or where the fetus is incompatible with sustained life outside the uterus.” 

Sounds reasonable to many right? However Pro-life advocates reveal the more in-depth issues associated with the Bills: 

“the bill would enable girls as young as 12 to obtain abortions without any adult, except the abortionist, knowing about it,” and would “remove life-saving medical equipment from rooms where abortions are performed, risking the lives of babies, Massachusetts citizens, who survive the procedure.”

 Then there is New Jersey who seeks to do the same using the Affirmation of Amy Coney Barrett, who personally opposes abortion, to the US Supreme Court as an opportunity to make a push to ratify the “Reproductive Freedom Act” which would make abortion at any point through pregnancy and for any reason, a fundamental right within the State.

Governor Phil Murphy recently said:

“As access to health care and the right to choose are under attack at the federal level, we will support, defend, and protect reproductive rights here in New Jersey,”…“The Reproductive Freedom Act will remove barriers to reproductive health, as well as expand access to contraception while reaffirming choice. Together, we stand unwavering in our commitment to work towards reproductive freedom for all New Jerseyans.”
Further and same old problems persist however. Although religious organization exemptions appear to remain in place, under New Jersey proposals the right of conscience that protects medical professionals from engaging in procedures to which they are profoundly opposed, would be repealed. Non-physicians will be allowed to provide or commit abortions, and children aka: minors, will also be able to secure abortions without knowledge or consent of parents. 

The right to kill babies and life in-vitro is seemingly a "right of passage" and option that humanity is not willing to live without.

Licensed To Kill 

Within America, since Roe v Wade in 1972, there have been an estimated over 50 million babies killed through the process of legalized abortion. Her Black community has been so devastated by abortion (some counting to the average tune of 757 children per day since 1973 or 13,000,000). Blacks are now the 2nd leading minority within the United States by sheer numbers and according to the CDC abortions of Black children are nearly 61% of all Black child births annually. Reporting in the most recent year (2018) there were 552,029 total Black individual (adult and child) births and 335,667 total Black (adult and child) deaths (2017). According to most recent available numbers from the CDC (2016) Black child abortions average 377 per day or 137,510 for 2016. Providing that the average number of abortions or trends are consistent, when estimated abortions of Black children are figured in (138,000/yr) Black adult and child deaths are nearly 86% of Black adult and child births at a 473,667 annual average. If these numbers are consistent, the Black community is growing at a net rate of 80,000 individuals per year. Hardly enough to continue as a "leading" minority, and at some point the death rate will eclipse the birth rate. 

This makes it an imperative to look at abortion and its effects upon the community and in this case, the Black community in particular. The slogan has been that “BLACK LIVES MATTER”, however, if we truly value lives within the community, and especially Black lives, and want the community to survive, be healthy and well, this issue cannot be overlooked and go without thorough and adequate examination and a demand for protections for the unborn, and greater care for women and families who decide that they cannot raise and or parent their newborn child. 

Conclusion Pt. 1

In Part 2 of this article, I will explore the theological dynamic of what we are seeing with a demand for abortion and the alleged link to "women's healthcare". We will examine how the practice of killing children pre and post birth has existed for thousands of years, is wholly inconsistent with Biblical Christianity, and has been part of the sin condition of mankind regardless of the governmental system under which these atrocities are regulated. 

Abortion and the murder of the innocents is NOT solely a political problem, nor is it solely a mere social problem. It is a spiritual problem. It is a problem that begins and ends with SIN and the resultant rebellion of man against the image in which he/she was created. The very image of God!

Radiance Says, NAACP = National Association For The ABORTION Of Colored People

I have wondered for years why the Black community seems to be readily accepting of abortion. Statistics say that Black women abort their fetuses to the tune of nearly 1,450 per day since abortion was legalized in 1973.

Although Blacks (men and women) account for approximately 13.2% of the total United States population, they yet account for over 20% of all abortions (11 million out of the estimated 50 million abortions) performed since 1973. 

These are ASTOUNDING numbers!

I contend that historically there may be 2 startling reasons that abortion is such an accepting act among Blacks. I propose that the first may be that Dr. Martin Luther King, the champion of modern civil rights himself, received the Margaret Sanger Award In Human Rights, issued by Planned Parenthood in 1966. At that time, Planned Parenthood lauded Dr. King for lending his voice to "worldwide voluntary family planning" and for:
Coretta King Receives
Sangar Hunmanitarian Award
for Dr. Martin L. King Jr.
"unique qualities of understanding, compassion and bravery, and for his wise and unwavering leadership in securing for all people their basic human right to knowledge, dignity and opportunity that are a fount and principle of Margaret Sanger's life, this award is presented" ~ HERE
The very association of Dr. King to Margaret "EUGENICS NEGRO PROJECT" Sanger is sickening. Here we have a woman that did all she could to limit the growth and development of the Black community in particularly through targeted abortions and other methods, associated with a champion of justice, liberty and equality for the same group of persons that Sanger, through Planned Parenthood, targeted...YUCK!!!! 

Nevertheless, it may be that this "association" is the backdrop of the historical acceptance of abortion among Blacks.

IN ADDITION

Another reason for the acceptance of abortion among Blacks may be the historic endorsement of a woman's "right to choose" by the NAACP. Recently, the Radiance Foundation referenced and severely criticized the NAACP for its position of "right to choose" by displaying an NAACP 1967 Resolution endorsing "family planning, and a subsequent 2004 Resolution of the NAACP endorsing the 2004 March For Life, in which abortion supporters from around the world marched on Washington DC to demonstrate their support of abortion. 
"Board Chair Julian Bond said, "This is an issue of equal rights, and we are pleased to join those insisting on a woman's right to control her own body." ~ Feb. 2004 NAACP Press Release

In their 2004 endorsement of the pro-abortion movement, the NAACP traced their endorsement of a woman's right to choose (aka: abortion) to the 1920's, and its founder W.E.B. Dubois, in essence equating the abortion issue to an issue of "equal access" as opposed to a moral issue or an issue damaging to the Black community and Black women in particularly. even when exposed the NAACP stood by its rhetoric claiming:
“On the issue of abortion, NAACP has not supported abortion but rather supports a woman’s right to choose. NAACP’s decision not to support abortion has been influenced at least in part by the strong religious values and beliefs held by many of those in its leadership, including leading members of the clergy from across the United States.”
This statement was no more than an equivocation on the issue using semantics to cover up the real truth that the NAACP endorses abortion in the guise of a 'woman's right to choose".

Needless to say, the linking of the NAACP to this issue, by web posts and acronym associations from the Radiance Foundation such as:

National Association For The ABORTION of Colored People

National Association For The Advancement of CERTAIN People
National Association For The AGITATION of Colored People
National Association For The ANIMOSITY of CONSERVATIVE People
NOT ACTUALLY ADVANCING Colored People~ (THE BEST ONE IN MY OPINION)

were also not welcomed by the NAACP and they wanted vengeance! 

1st Amendments Rights & FREEDOM OF SPEECH UPHELD!

In response to the Radiance Foundation's linking of the NAACP to the message of abortion and shedding light on the issue, the NAACP sued the Radiance Foundation, claiming that Radiance had acted improperly by linking their organization to abortion advocacy. This was in effort to clearly deny the Radiance Foundation's 1st Amendment rights to expose the issue and educate the public that the NAACP was indeed a proponent of abortion under the guise of a "woman's right to choose". It seems that the NAACP simply wanted Radiance, and anyone else,  to basically shut-up...


In an UNANIMOUS May 2015 decision against the NAACP, the Radiance Foundation's rights of freedom of speech were upheld by the court. One can hear the Court Arguments on the issue HERE

KUDOS to the Radiance Foundation for taking a stand for the right of Freedom of speech and against the dearth of abortion which is killing Black America. The Radiance Foundation's victory and timeline can be found HERE

Final Word: INTOLERANCE!!!

Fascism is a governmental polity or system that is authoritarian, and intolerant of alternate views or practices. A fascist can be said to be a person who endorses fascism or one who gives fascism legs. Since they fought opposing views so vehemently, and since they continue to suggest that those who don't agree with their positions are "not really Black" or do not represent the views of Blacks across America, can we ask the question, "Is the NAACP a fascist organization?"

For a group to so vehemently fight against the views and opinions of individuals who "dare" go against what that group wants the public to believe about them, is amazing to me.

Election 2016

Fast Forward to 2016...We have a 2 term Black President that has not only endorsed abortion under the same motif as the NAACP, but one who has promoted and proliferated homosexual rights further than any standing President in American history. We have a pending election and the Democrats are by far endorsing and encouraging either an avowed Socialist (Bernie Sanders) or a Democratic liberal (aka: progressive) Hillary Clinton, who HAS RECEIVED THE ENDORSEMENT OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD, and who some actually believe endorses values that "represent" Black America...(even though they "pretend' to be mad at her husband for signing a crime bill while in office that they were all aware of before he signed it)

In other words their definition of "America" is not one where there is freedom to voice opinion and freedom to expose truth and discuss things and call people into question and accountability, but their vision is one of subjugation to their agenda whatever their agenda may be. Notice, their agenda is always without or apart from God or objective morality, yet it always includes the acceptance of the church and church leaders

It is based on how they (whomever they are) "feel" about matters and issues, and when there is conflict, all they do is redefine terms to fit the need and then, if all else fails, they threaten their way to the abject silence of all detractors.

Thomas, known as "doubting Thomas" within the Gospels, told his fellow disciples that he would not believe that Jesus had been resurrected unless he saw him and examined his scars for himself. he was not going to believe if he had not personally examined the person of a risen Jesus. According to the gospel of John, nearly 7 to 8 days later, Jesus appeared in the room where the disciples had gathered themselves and challenged John, to examine his scars, to touch his hands, feet and his side, so that he could be convinced that Jesus had actually risen from the dead. (Lk. 24:36-43, Jn. 20: 24-29) 

TRUTH invites examination! The only ones saying "shut-up" and "leave me alone" and don't examine this issue, are individuals who are either demon possessed, like the demoniac(s) at Gadara, or someone who simply doesn't want to be exposed or examined in light of what is really true.

The complete liberal agenda is full of proponents that would trash all rights to preserve their evil deeds...Well, as a drunk once told me...

JESUS is the LIGHT and HIS TRUTH shines ALL OVER THE WORLD!

To that, I say a hearty AMEN!

Blessed!

This DOESN'T Fulfill The Mission Of Christ

The post modern culture has presented some pretty interesting and thought provoking issues. Whether it's issues of sexual practice, abortion or political issues, there seems to be more than a person can shake a stick at.

This year there have been no issues more polarizing than abortion and homosexuality. The outcry on both sides of the issue has been fantastic by itself not to mention the times that major discussions and situations hit and settles in the news.

For example, Sunday May 31st 2009 (Pentecost Sunday) late term abortion Dr., Dr. George Tiller (67) was tragically gunned down during Sunday services at Reformation Lutheran Church where he was serving as an usher. The suspect, a mentally ill man (Scott Roeder-51), who some say claimed to be a part of an activist, defunct, anti-government group called the Freemen, was responsible for taking the life of Dr. Tiller.

The Dunamis Word and New Bethel Ministries without equivocation, totally and fully decries the taking of life whether it be of the lives of the babies of abortion or the medical professionals who perform such operations and provide such services. We REJECT to the fullest any sentiments or extremists views that find it acceptable to engage in criminal practices against medical professionals who preform abortion services. Taking life at any stage of life in a senseless act like this is certainly not ordained or authorized by God in any manner. We further reject the notion that the best way to fight for the right to life is to be engaged in the intimidation and eventual murder of the innocent. We encourage love instead of hate and vigorous and peaceful debate in order to properly, fully and adequately address cultural issues such as abortion and the abortion industry.

While any term abortion is an unacceptable practice, there are certain complication that can occur late term which only a few doctors in the United States are equipped by training to deal with. The results here are tragic and are not without consequence for all the families involved.

Update 6/7/2009: Todd Friel at Wretched reports that Dr. Tiller had performed over 60,000 murders of childern through his profession over his career. Watch his report and response to this murder:
Thank God for Todd's assessment. Extremism, fundamentalism, and radical, vigilante interpretations of truth are NOT what the Lord is calling for in times like these. Abortion has created its share of problems for sure but how one reacts to abortion and the abortion industry can make the difference in helping to change mindsets and ridding ourselves of the bad decisions that lead to such acivity.

On November 22, 2006 Bill O'Rielly.com reported that Dr. Tiller was providing abortions late term to young rape and incest victims. Even if this was the case, there is yet no sanction for this sort of action. This event is greater than Dr. Tiller. This is about living socially, equitably and morally with all persons. A radical fundamentalist only sees one side of the issue and are not open to the fact that killing Dr. Tiller, was not only a criminal act, it was unsanctioned murder, opposed to God's plan to correct social wrong and morally wrong. This act also deprived children and grandchildren of their father and grandfather on in irrational and emotional whim. There are many disagreements that we have over the issue of abortion, but none of those disagreements should lead to bombings, shootings, murder or even physical threats.

How does one know if they espouse radical and fundamentalist views? Usually the mouth is a good indicator of the heart and some say statements like these:

1- You reap what you sew. If he hadn't been killing children he wouldn't have been killed.
2- If he was really in church or saved he wouldn't have been an abortion doctor anyway.
3- God showed him. God's judgement is real!
4- Well at least he won't kill another baby
5- Tiller was a baby killer anyway, good for him.
6- How could he be an abortion Dr. and be a Christian? His church wasn't teaching anything anyway.
7- Sad thing but what more could he expect, 'cause God's not pleased with that.

Some of these suggestions are more difficult than others but these are just some of the sayings that radical fundamentalists will espouse during a tragic times such as this. The true church should realize that we can best fight this battle through prayer, petetion, presenting our case in the public forum and most of all through living and exemplifying the love of Christ. Display love toward the women that seek abortions and the personel that preform them.
Abortion has done it's damage and is doing the damage everyday, but Christians SHOULD NOT add to the fire by killing people because of it and neither should they endorse, encourage or support those who do. As Todd states justice will be served by God himself.
Mt. 5:13-16 ~ "13-Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. 14-Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15-Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16-Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

The Spiritual Blindness Of Abortion

"Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. 
And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”
~ Mt. 15:14

Retired Bishop Paul S. Morton recently tweeted the following regarding the newly ratified TX abortion law:



The full TEXT of the new Texas abortion law can be found HERE

For sure, abortion is THE watershed issue of modern times. Debate regarding abortion and abortion rights are full of issues over freedom and individualism of adults, but it seems that too many of those arguments fall short of outlining the rights of the unborn. That is, in part, because some wish to claim confusion over when a life is actually a life and when that life actually has a right to live. 

Abortion has effected the American landscape and society to the tune of an estimated 50 million abortions since 1973 and the SCOTUS decision of Roe v Wade. While abortion in the United States has certainly been horrible and often misinterpreted, other nations, such as China, have done no better and in many cases much worse of the issue of protecting the most vulnerable human beings.  According to a recent report from Al-Jazeera over the last 40 years, forced abortion has led to 336 million abortions or child deaths in China. Currently there are 30 million more Chinese men than women which has caused the government to reassess their child family limitation policy through the combining of its National Population and Family Planning Commission.

The Dunamis Word's View

At the Dunamis word, we are certainly PRO LIFE! From the moment of conception we believe that all human life is honored by God!
Our views on abortion can be found HERE in multiple articles. We believe that a baby in the womb, is a PERSON which has a right to LIFE and should be protected throughout the birth process because God is the ONLY creator of life, and as humans, we have been made and created in his image fearfully. In God's call to Jeremiah (Jer. 1:5) God stated that he knew him "before" he was formed. This superceeds the condition of what science has now identified as a "zygote" (a fertilized unattached cell). Therefore we believe that God is the ONLY giver of life and we therefore acknowledge life at conception.

Some Points Of The Texas Law

Aside from this, The TX law partially hinges upon a heartbeat of a fetus which usually occurs, according to most analysis, between 5 to 8 weeks after gestation. In Section 171.205 of the law, a Medical Emergency provision exists, which allows for abortion in the event of a medical emergency that threatens the life of the Mother.  However, under Section 171.204 of the law the following is stated:
b) A physician does not violate this section if the physician performed a test for a fetal heartbeat as required by Section 171.203 and did not detect a fetal heartbeat.
In other words, it seems that under TX law in certain circumstances, if there is no discernible pregnancy and until pregnancy is detected, procedures that would successfully rid a woman's body of an unwanted pregnancy would be allowed. We are CERTAINLY not attorneys and this point will certainly be challenged but since hearts don't beat from day one, it doesn't appear that this abortion ban is a full on abortion ban. As stated, we don't endorse termination of pregnancy at ANY time, but the law is what it is so far as the law is concerned. 

 The Bishop's Blindness Matches Secular Blindness  

Like all too many claiming to have spiritual insight, Bishop Morton is blinded as to the nature of abortion when it comes to life and rights of the unborn. 
Pointing out the alleged flaws of the TX law, Bishop Morton complains that the law, penalizes women who become pregnant as a result of rape or incest, by not allowing abortion. For the critic, this may sound reasonable as we will discuss, however noone wants the pain of rape or incest exacerbated. However, the Bishop has forgotten that although a rapist may rape and a family member may commit incest (which is another form of rape in our opinion), only GOD can give life.  

The secular world claims that this is an issue which cannot be forgotten or forgiven and that pro-life proponents are unfeeling and unkind because, for some reason, they wish to believe that most abortions are due to rape and incest.

A Word Regarding Rape
Nothing in this article should be construed as downplaying rape. Rape and abortion are two different horrible acts and a rapist is never justified in any manner. Unfortunately rape occurs. According to the US DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, OFFICE OF JUSTICE PROGRAMS report it is estimated that 302,091 women and 92,748 men are raped annually. They also estimate that 32% of women who are raped are raped between the ages of 12 and 17 and only about 1/3rd of women who suffer violent rape ever seek help or treatment. So rape is an issue and a very serious one that we can address in another article, but by far and large, women seeking abortions as a result of rape are few on a comparative scale.  
 
The Abortion Rape/Incest Myth Exposed. Facts To The Rescue

Interestingly both Bishop Morton and the secular critic are pointing towards the same thing. An extremely small amount of annual abortions for which stats are kept "sometimes". You see, if figures are accurate, abortions as a result of rape and incest represent only 1.5% of abortions annually according to most statistics on the subject. 

In our article ABORTION ISSUES & MYTHS, I point out the following:

To the heart of this post and as not to add additional confusion to the fiasco that we are witnessing, it is interesting to note that only 1% of women in the 2004 survey-based U.S. study became pregnant as a result of rape and 0.5% as a result of incest. These statistics are according to Finer, Lawrence B., Frohwirth, Lori F., Dauphinee, Lindsay A., Singh, Shusheela, & Moore, Ann M. (2005). Reasons U.S. women have abortions: quantative and qualitative perspectives. Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health, 37 (3), 110-8. Retrieved 2006-01-18. This information offers startling insight into the myth that a high representative amount of abortions are due to rape or incest therefore condoning abortion.

To place this in perspective, of the estimated 50,000,000 abortions that have occurred since 1973 only 1.5% were due primarily to rape or incest. This would bring the figure to approximately 750,000 abortions in which the killing of a fetus was decided based on morally subjective terms. As it relates to the black community, assuming the same 1.5% rate of rape and incest, (which may be more or less) the numbers would shrink from 13,000,000 since abortion legalization in 1973 to 195,000. The average number of abortions per day would go from it's current level of 1,450 to approximately 22 per day.

A website called Abort73.com examines the state of Florida, which just happens to keep statistics in a more diligent manner. Figures state that in 2018 Florida recorded 70,083 total abortions. Out of that, only .14% were due to rape. Although this is very serious, it only represents about 98 abortions.

So Bishop Morton and abortion law critics are bringing somewhat of a mythical argument to the forefront as if most abortions are due to rape and incest, when solid evidence exists to the contrary. It is clearly a fallacious argument to ENDORSE abortion, as the Bishop is doing whether he believes that he is doing so or not, based on the abortion rape/incest myth. 

Conclusion

I would first agree with the Bishop that rape and incest are serious issues and one that deserves our concern, intervention and prayers. However, I would ask the Bishop, who can be fed if they are killed in the womb? Who can be clothed, if they are murdered before they begin life? Why is the voice of the unborn stymied, and their right to life ignored and overlooked? Is that at all "Christlike"? Would JESUS deny a baby born of rape and or incest their right of life? What has the baby done to deserve death? How and why are the INNOCENT, punished for the sins (rapist) of an abuser or criminal?

I question whether this Bishop's sentiments are at all Christlike in any manner when the complete picture is considered. How can scripture be quoted, while simultaneously sacrificing children at the alter of Molech? Rape is certainly wrong, but how does murder of the innocent make it any better?

This leads me to the conclusion that THIS CHURCH, or this SO CALLED church, has not learned the lesson that covid came to teach it. If we are not valuing EVERY life and seeking to protect the most innocent in a unified fashion, I am not convinced in any manner whether we even know the message of Christ.

I often used to wonder why Christ said:

"And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." ~ Mt. 7:23 

Listening to people who butcher scripture such as this, I know why. To "never know" someone is to not identify them in nature and or demeanor and or agree with them in any manner. Yes we know the woman and man who suffers sexual abuse, rape and incest must be ministered to and healed, but how can we help through and by recommending murder in its place?

This is not merely a matter of a "flaw" or a "fault". This is a total about face from who the person of Christ is. You mean to tell me, that people can preach HIS name and not IDENTIFY with Christ so much and so until Christ says, "I don't know you!"?

After feeding the poor, sacrificing ones body and whole self for HIS cause, it is possible that HE does not know "you". I am convinced that as a minister, if you don't know or care about the quintessential issue of baby murder and further gravitate towards the world in the misrepresentation of facts such as Bishop Morton, CHRIST doesn't know you! How can he? There is no IDENTITY of HIM in your beliefs as you set them forth.

I am sure, some have been faced with things in this presentation and believe me, I am not one to minimize your struggle or situation. However, I am here to declare that GOD is yet in control of all things and the way that is committed to HIM, though it may be difficult, can be trodden with Christ who is WITH us and IN us as the hope of glory. He can heal and he can fix every broken piece.

Blessed!

The Right To Live. The Ultimate Human Right. A Dunamis Word On The Issue

Over the years I have written multiple articles on abortion and abortion rights, examining the issue in light of both biblical truth and societal results.

In my article "Abortion Issues And Myths" I outline the fact that since Roe v Wade  
became law in 1972 Americans have aborted an estimated 50 million babies and nearly an average of 1,400 children per day within the Black community alone. Not only has this decimated America from a Human values standpoint, it has also done the same from an economic cost as well. For example, although the Black community comprises only 13% of the US population, in 2014 Black women accounted for 36% of all abortions. Other statistics clearly point out that Black Americans are no longer the leading minority in the US by number, and strong arguments can be made that this is due to high abortion rates and low birth rate among Black families. From an economic standpoint, this suggests that wealth within the Black community in particular and ultimately within America is not being replaced at adequate levels to sustain the community. I think a brief look at most of our urban epicenters around the country bears out ample support for that argument on many different levels.

The Right To Live. The Ultimate Human Right

The arguments supporting abortion as an institution are nothing new. The arguments often confuse issues of human rights with issues of quality of life. For sure, the right of every human being to live, exist or have a right to life, is the #1 HUMAN RIGHT'S issue in the world. However, no liberal human rights organizations will undertake this argument, therefore displaying their absurd hypocrisy as human rights organizations. Where is the voice of the HRC, or GSLEN in the HUMAN RIGHT of human being to live and exist? Their voices DO NOT exist on the issue because they (the so called human rights organizations) are and have always been FAKE NEWS!

Resurging & Failing Arguments For Abortion

Seeing, feeling and hearing that the writing is on the wall, signaling the end or at least "modification" of abortion within America, the left has renewed the fight to kill babies under the law by mingling their arguments with chants of "women's rights", "women's health", a "woman's right of self-determination of her own body" and has further renewed the assumption that "no one wants a rapist's baby" or a "baby of incest". The fact is that the prior statements don't apply to the argument as they are "quality of life arguments" as opposed to "human rights" arguments as they have been applied by pro-abortionists (as I will explain later in this writing) The latter statements or sentiment is not accurate and further diminishes life. The truth is that it is estimated that less than 1.5% of all abortions are due to rape and or incest. So to use rape and incest as a "reason" for abortion is not only a spurious and dubious argument, it simply cannot be supported by the factual data that exists.

Simultaneously, the abortion argument has not changed as many of the same individuals who encourage it remain silent about late term and partial birth abortion which is a more visible forms of abortion that provide ample evidence that a human being is actually killed during the abortion process and through a process that has been ratified as being "legal", but yet barbaric and murderous.

A Dunamis Word

In recent days I undertook to speak out on the issue on Facebook yet once again. Here is what I said:

"JER. 1:5 - Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations."
I will go more in depth on this but I was awaken early to share this tidbit of info. on the subject of life and abortion which has recently come front and center in this nation once again.
It seems to me that there are some things that everyone agrees on. That life is valuable, freedom should be upheld, a woman should have control over her own body and that the innocent and those who can't help themselves should be defended and protected from death.
The problem appears to be the application and point at which our values and closely held beliefs come into effect or play.
For example, is a fetus a part of his or her mother's body or a separate individual even if not so physically? At what point does that fetus posses human rights? Do the rights of a fetus include the right to live and if so when or at what point? 
The Importance of Worldview 
For sure the answer to these questions are more than mere matters of opinion. They center around what one believes about life and existence itself. So what one believes about what life is and why there is life informs one's opinions on this issue. 
For example, if one believes that all existence is purely material, and there is no greater or higher purpose for human existence, one might claim that life is defined as being on the same par as animal life or even plant life with only physiological differences, and devoid of any essential purpose other than what it (the life) chooses to exercise. While there are many problems with this view, which I may point out, notions such as these sre rooted in existentialism. At the core of this rationalization of life is a materialistically centered reconciliation of existence with little to no acknowledgement of transcendent purpose, goals, values or higher existence. 
On the other hand, if one's worldview is more biblically informed one may embrace concepts of a spiritual and essential nature of man, individualism and mankind. 
For instance, in God's call to the ancient prophet Jeremiah HE outlines that before Jeremiah was "formed" in the womb, God knew him. At the very least this indicates that Jeremiah was an individual prior to his formulation... 
A Little Science 
While there is yet great debate within the medical community over when conception actually occurs, there is little to no debate that when an Ovum is fertilized by a sperm, all the DNA and other information necessary to create a human being is passed along. In other words, the process of a sperm implanting an Ovum by itself does not right away produce a fully developed human begin, however at that moment the developmental process aka: formulation, has begun. 
Back To The Point 
God's call to Jeremiah indicated that Jeremiah was not only a material being but also "something" that could be "known". Language of this sort indicates that apart from material creation Jeremiah had a substance about himself that could be "known" or reconciled in an intellectual manner.  
This "substance" that can be "known" is what is called "spirit or soul". This is similar to the concept if "ensoulment" in which it is said that man "possesses" a soul or spirit.  
While the bible does not teach "ensoulment" in the sense that man has a compartment within him that is spirit or soul, it does however teach that man, in his totality, is a soulish being or what is termed as a "living soul". This is described in Genesis 1 in the following 7th verse: 
"And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul" 
Man in his entirety consisted of not only material (dust of the ground) but also spirit (living soul). Transducianism is the teaching that since the creation of man as a "living soul", every being subsequently produced by men are also of the same composition and or nature. 
Conclusion: 
Without a doubt we are influenced by our worldview. 
In the case of life the choice is clear. Either one believes that a fetus is a sub par form of life undeserving of an opportunity to live and is devoid of human rights or one believes that prior to even formulation of a body that each being is an individual deserving of human rights, is full of purpose and not merely an accident or cosmic configuration of material pieces. 
Abortion is a material process with no consideration given to spirit, soul, purpose or intention. At heart, abortion and it's premise is not about women's health, neither is is a healthcare issue. It is about quality of life and an individual's or being's right to life under what I believe is a properly informed worldview. 
Therefore, to restrict abortion is not a prohibition of any human right. A woman's right of choice is in no wise inhibited, any more than a driver's right of way while driving is inhibited by a pedestrian walking.  
When placed in proper context a woman's ability to nurture life is one of the greatest gifts given to mankind. 
If contextualized in a battle of epic spiritual proportions, one can see why a strategy to kill or inhibit "living souls" from existence has nearly always existed especially since the destruction or subversion of the image of God within man is the goal of man's arch-enemy, satan.  
So for the Christian, the notion of abortion and abortion rights is much more than about a law, civil rights, or some ethereal right enshrined or conferred upon individuals through law or societal norms. It is a fight for souls, values and human rights. Those rights include the human right of a pregnant woman to make a choice about her being, and also the human right of a baby to live and grow.  
I think it is time to set the record straight not only regarding abortion, but regarding life itself and the very reason we exist as humans.

Do Black Lives Really Matter?

Too Many Aborted.com
In my post, "Black Lives Matter...Most Of The Time", I promoted the movement Black Lives Matter, as it, through and by hundreds of protests all over the country, promotes harmony between the Black and urban communities and local police departments.

More To Black Life Than Police...

Although the goal of the Black Lives Matter movement is focused on the police, economics and community relations, there is another more ominous danger that threatens the survival of Black communities all over this country. That is the threat of abortion. To the tune of an estimated over 1,450 lives per day since 1973, the Black Community aborts and continues to abort its babies with the help of federally funded organizations such as Planned Parenthood, which has never broken ties with the startling racist statements and positions of its founder Margaret Sanger who said that Blacks and the poor were like "human weeds" that "never should have been born".

In fact, when I questioned why the Church Of God In Christ, who certainly proudly associated themselves with the Black Lives Matter movement by joining in Solidarity Sunday, (with myself in tow) would not be more vocal on the subject, my message was PROMPTLY removed from the COGIC Facebook site, but mysteriously it reappeared. If I might repeat what I said:
"Then what of our stance on abortion? Black lives are lost to the tune of some 1450 PER DAY. We endorsed a President who claims a woman has a right of choice over the life. Do BLACK lives really matter to us or is this the next buzzword?"
The Presiding Bishop of The Church Of God In Christ, Bishop Charles E. Blake, unlike many others, stood up at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, CO. in the Wells Fargo Theatre in 2008 and delivered a message questioning the endorsement of abortion, both by the Democratic Party platform and the then "presumed" Democratic National Convention candidate, Sen, Barack Obama. This is what the news recorded:
Presiding Bishop Charles E. Blake 
"Bishop Charles E. Blake, presiding bishop of the Church of God in Christ, called on presumptive Democratic  nominee, Barack Obama to "follow through on his promise ... to reduce the number of abortions" while stopping just short of criticizing the Democratic Party for its support of the practice. 
"Surely we cannot be pleased with ... millions of terminated pregnancies," Blake said to applause from the nearly full Wells Fargo Theater. "Something within us must be calling for a better way. If we do not resist at this point, at what point will we resist?"
Democrats must know about the "moral and spiritual pain so many of us feel because of this disregard for the lives of the unborn," Blake said.
In a speech focusing on society's responsibility to its children, Blake first focused on the plight of the inner-city poor as a human rights responsibility before calling abortion a practice "that conflicts with our position and our responsibility ... to human rights itself."
Although Blake intimated he was frustrated with his party's support of abortion, he praised its positions for the helpless in other ways. "Others loudly proclaim their advocacy for the unborn," he said, receiving a standing ovation, "but they refuse to recognize their responsibility and the responsibility of our nation to those who have been born. "They are presently and historically silent, if not indifferent," he continued, "to the suffering of our inner cities."
I recorded this event on The Dunamis Word in this ARTICLE in 2008 from a now archived edition of the Rocky Mountain News the day after the Convention.

NOW back to our regularly scheduled program:

What Is The Problem?
I think Dr. Alveda King, the daughter of the great late Civil Rights leader, Dr. Martin L. King Jr. summed it up nicely. Let's see what she sad:
Dr. Alveda King
"The liberal media looks the other way on this"...“Pray that people will see right through their propaganda.”... “The media has another agenda; if they really thought that black lives matter they would be protesting abortion on demand.”..."[media] often stirs controversy to boost rating” and “support[s] abortion on demand.”...“This media category ignores the fact that the abortion industry targets minorities,”... 
“Even Planned Parenthood tweeted support for Ferguson using the Black Lives Matters hashtags, and yet they abort more black and Hispanic babies that any other abortion provider in America.”~ Dr. Alveda King Daughter of the late Dr. Martin L. King Jr. 
BLACK DEATH, HYPOCRISY and a PASSIVE ATTITUDE from society, the church and political community regarding the issue is the problem!

Since 2008, The Dunamis Word has taken on the issue of abortion to bring it front and center alarming the community of the danger and the Black community in particular. Countless babies continue to die through and by abortion. Countless women, mothers of those aborted, continue to die as well at the hands of so called "abortion clinics".  Two of the young ladies who have lost their lives recently due to this sort of "legalized crime" are  Chicago's Tonya Reaves, Cleveland's Lakisha Wilson. Both Black women. Died as a result of failed abortion procedures. Yet we find no demonstrations or protests by any movement, including the Black Lives Matter movement, against these atrocities. The fact is that 4 Black Lives were lost in these 2 events and not a person (other than those who oppose abortion in all forms) protested. The clinics were funded by and large through public funds, similar to the funding of police departments all over the country. Yet not ONE protest! Although Black woman constitute only 14% of the United States population, abortions by Black women account for nearly 30% of the nation's abortions. SOURCE and yet, we DO NOT PROTEST!

The Tale Of A CITY!
A closer look at the most current numbers for NYC abortions, (remember, NYC has generated the most widely held protests against the murder of unarmed Black men by police) display that 77.56% of all abortions are preformed on Either Black or Hispanic women, with Black women, who only make up 25.5% of NYC's population, leading the way with nearly 35,188 aborted that year. That is nearly 46.1% of all babies aborted in NYC at a rate of nearly 96 abortions per day! (Hispanics, 28.6% of NYC population, had 23,959 total lives lost to abortion at a rate of nearly 65 lives per day) The total number of abortions for NYC, 76,251, make it the nations leading city of aborted babies in the United States. Further, New York State has the highest number of abortions overall in the nation totaling 103,339 aborted babies! 

NYC "die-in" At Grand Central Station
There is no way that anyone can look at these numbers and not be convinced that this is a epidemic for the Black community of NYC and further something that the whole nation should be hotly concerned about. 

Studies also show that Black women are 5 times more likely to abort a child than White women. Condom use doesn't seem to curb the issue either as the and SAME JULY 2014 STUDY shows that over 51% of women who receive abortions used contraceptives in the same month that they became pregnant. In addition, as I have shown in this ARTICLE, the term "medically necessary" is subjective term with no specifically assigned set of values that does not address why and under what circumstances a fetus should be aborted. In addition, numbers show that abortions due to rape and incest only comprise .5% (that is POINT 5 PERCENT) of all abortions since 1973, and those numbers certainly don't seem to be a justification for the soaring numbers that we currently experience (although current numbers say that abortion overall is on a decline- Isn't that special?!?!?!)

Political Inaction, Misdirection and Non-Concern

Bishop Blake's requests and encouragements to now President Obama and the DNC seem to have fallen on deaf ears to say the least. Since his election President, President Obama has gone on record on to say this:
"...every woman should be able to make her own choices about her body and her health...."We reaffirm our steadfast commitment to protecting a woman’s access to safe, affordable health care and her constitutional right to privacy, including the right to reproductive freedom,"..."And we resolve to reduce the number of unintended pregnancies, support maternal and child health, and continue to build safe and healthy communities for all our children. Because this is a country where everyone deserves the same freedom and opportunities to fulfill their dreams."
Although this statement is filled with misdirection of the argument, obfuscation and word casting (almost political code) it is clear that the President's has allegiance to abortion no matter the cost. Noone questions whether a woman should have the right about "her body and her health". This argument is about a BABY'S BODY and that BABY'S right to his/her health. In addition "reproductive freedom" is not the issue, the right of life for the unborn is...babies can have dreams if they are allowed to live. Preventing unwanted pregnancies has NOTHING to do with saving the lives of babies who cannot speak for themselves. With all that said, the DNC went on to exclude God from their political party platform in the last election...go figure!!!!

What Has Our President Done Since His First Election?

Beliefnet has compiled President Obama's Pro-Life record HERE It is really astounding. He has done MUCH for homosexual acceptance marital normalization, but NOTHING to protect babies in vitro from murder. What a SHAME from the most powerful nation and leader on Earth! 

Conclusion

In short, if Black Lives Mattered as we all contend that they do, the lives of the unborn would matter as well. They are not only Black lives that should matter, but lives of the innocent whether Black White Hispanic or otherwise. 

I certainly support many aspects of the Black Lives Matter movement, and was all in on Solidarity Sunday and much more beyond, before and above it and whatever it meant. I feel that the slogans in favor of Black lives should really mean what it professes to mean. Not simply because of the police or failed community policing policies, but because countless lives, dreams, opportunities and hopes are being lost everyday to abortion and the abortion industry. 

Planned Parenthood continues to say that their primary mission is the prevention of unwanted pregnancies. They claim that if they don't exist, then the community and especially Black America would be in trouble because they would not have the necessary "medical help". While all of that is very arguable and at some point even comical, all I know is that while spending some of that $1 Billion in assets annually  they still have not changed their association with eugenics and they remain  part of the social movement that targets Black and poor minorities for its abortion services in nearly every major urban population in America. HERE'S the map to show how Planned Parenthood abortions centers are in nearly every major urban population in America.   

Blessed!
