Friends: The Republicans are down to their Last Bastion of Deceit: The Abortion Issue. The rest have been artfully exposed: I.E. That their tax breaks are only for the wealthiest amongst us and they would raise taxes on the middle class; or that the Democrats want us Hill Jack’s and Red Neck’s Guns.
The Republicans are deceitfully wrong on Abortion.
You see our Lord, as he proved when he came to earth, is not about evil and hate, but rather Grace.
Our Lord is not about accusation and anger, but rather love and understanding, as i prove in the OP.ED. below.
This Last Bastion of Deceit must also be refuted if We are to obtain the landslide We The People so richly deserve in 2008.
Please send it to your local editors and urge them to publish it.
Please have your workers pass it out during their canvassing.

My name is B.L. Conway. I am a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Kentucky and a 1986 Graduate of its’ terrific Law School. I reside in tiny Abingdon Virginia where I enjoy the practice of law. I am a history buff and a Christian that was trained in a Purpose Driven Church (The fastest growing Christian Movement in the World given to us without strings by the wonderful Pastor Rick Warren). My purpose is to serve others gladly freely by providing the truth in light, which is all I am trying to accomplish here.
The Conservative Right label and accuse Senator Obama and the Democrats of murder for being pro abortion. This is simply not true. Mr. Obama has said plainly that he is not for abortion and he will work to see that it is limited and that women fully understand that there are better choices. This is the Biblically Correct approach.
Jesus taught against strict enforcement of religious law because we humans are not capable of being perfect. We see this portrayed constantly in the gospels during Jesus’ conflict with the religious leaders. For example, the Pharisee accused Jesus of sin for healing on the Sabbath and he rebuked them. John 5:1. They also accused Jesus disciples of sin for gathering grain on the Sabbath and Jesus rebuked them. Matthew 12:2. Jesus said of these hypocrites in Matthew 23:3 and 4 that we should not follow their works for they say and do not perform and they lay heavy burdens to grievous to be born by men, yet they do not abide by them.
This is a central problem for the so called “Conservatives” of today that have sold the public this litmus test of Abortion. They command others to a standard that they are unwilling and unable to perform personally. We cannot legislate morality. As Pastor Rick Warren teaches, this occurs from the inside out with the help of our Savior.
Now let me discuss, Jesus’ position on Abortion. It is Sin and it is Murder. I do not know why the Democrats dance around the issue. There is no question about it and Jesus condemned it and any other harm to a child. However, it is not the job of those on the Right to judge their sisters, nor do we need big brother in the bedroom, be it in the hospital or otherwise. They do not know their sisters circumstances or how she came to that terrible decision to sin.
But rest assured that JESUS CAN, WILL AND HAS FORGIVEN HER. Jesus forgave many “harlots” in the bible.
Please look at what that means. Prostitution was rampant in ancient Rome and its’ territories as has been shown by archeology. Contraception was non existent. This means the harlot were bearing children. They have found mass graves of infants below the Roman Brothels throughout their Empire. See E.G. Determining the Sex of Infanticide Victims from the Late Roman Era through Ancient DNA Analysis, Journal of Archaeological Science Volume 25, Issue 9, September 1998, Pages 861-865.
This is called infanticide. It was more heinous than abortion as THE CHILDREN WERE FULLY BORN!
Now consider that and read John 8:1-11. This was a trap sewn by the Religious leaders. They lead the harlot, caught in the act, before the people with Jesus preparing to teach them in the Temple. They cited the requirement of the Law from Lev. 20:10 and Deut 22:22 (death by stoning) and asked our Savior what to do, to try and trap him.
Jesus did not blink or avoid the issue. He knelt down to the ground and began to write in the book of life and said let he that has not sinned cast the first stone. Well, that scattered the hypocrites.!!!!!!!!!!! Jesus then stood up and said “Woman where are they? Has no one condemned you? No one sir, she said. Then neither do I condemn you; Go now and leave your life of sin”.
Oh!!!!!!!!!!! What a wonderful blessing our Lord gave this woman. His grace knows no bounds!
There were many of these “harlots” that followed, supported and cared for Jesus. Mary Magdalene for example, was deranged and possessed by demons. Luke 8:1-3. These women anointed Jesus feet, cared and fed him. Luke 7:36- 50 and see John 12:1-8 and Mark 14:3-9. Jesus cured them and forgave them their many sins which no doubt included infanticide.
These Women loved Jesus and stood right with him during the crucifixion. Jesus told the religious leaders: "Assuredly, I say to you that tax collectors and harlots shall enter the kingdom of God before you. For John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him; but tax collectors and harlots believed him; and when you saw it, you did not afterward repent and believe him.” (Matthew 21:31b, 32)
Friends, I pray you know that sin is despicable in God’s view. Secondly, Abortion is clearly a sin, but there are not levels of sin. The Bible teaches that we are all sinners and fall short of the glory of god. None of us would have a prayer for eternity, but for the awesome sacrifice of Jesus who paid with his blood our terrible just punishment.
However Friends, please also see that we are not to judge our sisters that commit this heinous act of Abortion. We cannot legislate morality. We need to teach it by getting our kids in good church and by expanding the Kingdom.
I do not think and I pray that no one commits the sin of Abortion frivolously. I also pray that they see their error and repent.
We however, do not need Government in this decision making process. This is to say that we should not condemn our sisters or cast the first stone. We are not without Sin.
Lastly, this is not the role of Government. As a citizen we enjoy a right of privacy and a refuge from the tyranny of the masses in personal decisions of this nature that our ancestors fought and died for. Let Our Wonderful Lord and Savior deal with us Sinners. He does a better job than our fallible human Courts.
