The Stakes Are High

UPDATE RE: SICK COMPUTER (Wednesday, 2/4/09) Computer will be going to the HP hospital shortly. They'll be sending me a pre-paid box to mail it in. I should receive the box in two or three days. Before I send my PC to the hospital I'll put up a post to that affect, at which time I don't know how long I'll be without a pc. Probably a couple of weeks, during which time I'll suffer withdrawal symptoms. :)

The title is from the e-mail I received today. Although I don't really have the time to be posting this, I found it too important to ignore. I was sent the e-mail by The American Family Association.

Right now, pro-abortion forces are lining up in Washington to turn back the clock on every pro-life gain we have made in America in the past 36 years. President Obama told pro-abortion groups that the first bill he wants to sign is the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA),
a federal law that would overturn every legal restriction on abortion, including:

- laws in 44 states that preserve a parental role when minor girls seek abortions;
- laws in 40 states that restrict late-term abortions;
- laws in 46 states that protect the right of conscience for individual health care providers;
- laws in 27 states that protect the right of conscience for institutions;
- laws in 38 states that ban partial-birth abortions;
- laws in 33 states that require counseling before having an abortion (Informed Consent laws);
- and laws in 16 states that provide for ultrasounds before an abortion.
It is important that our Texas leaders not only stand firm against abortion but also against FOCA. We encourage you to read the
comparison below, and then act on the three steps at the bottom of this piece.

Sincerely,

Kerby Anderson (POINT OF VIEW RADIO SHOW)
David Barton (PRESIDENT, WALLBUILDERS)
Mark Cole (CHAIRMAN, HOUSTON AREA PASTORS COUNCIL)
Richard Ford (PRESIDENT, HERITAGE LLLIANCE)
Rick Green (NATIONAL RADIO HOST; FOUNDER, PATRIOT ACADEMY)
Ann Hettinger (STATE DIRECTOR, CONCERNED WOMEN FOR AMERICA)
Stephen F. Hotze (PRESIDENT, CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS OF TEXAS)
Colleen Parro (EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COALITION FOR LIFE)
Alice Patterson (PRESIDENT, JUSTICE AT THE GATES)
Joe Pojman (EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, TEXAS ALLIANCE FOR LIFE)

Of course this doesn't only concern Texas.

I've sent an e-mail to Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison who supported Roe v. Wade in 2003 and is considering running for Governor of Texas in 2010. I've also contacted Senator John Cornyn. If you live in Texas please let Hutchison know that if she doesn't reverse her stand on Roe v. Wade you won't vote for her in 2010. If you live elsewhere, contact your senators anyway to tell them how you feel about this.

You can e-mail Senators Hutchison on her website - click "How to contact me." Senator Cornyn may also be reached from his website - click "contact".

On top of everything else I'm having computer problems. I'll never buy an HP computer again. I've learned my lesson!
