"So the law is slacked and justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous, so justice goes forth perverted." Habakkuk 1:4
The moment of truth has arrived. The promised conservative pro-life justice has been chosen. John Roberts appears to be as bland as his name. He comes to us with little history of yea or nea. As a rash young lawyer he insists that Roe v. Wade is bad law. As a middle aged high court contender he considers Roe “settled law.” His politics are the same as Pontius Pilate. Pilate knew Jesus to be innocent, yet killed HIM to appease the people.
Judge Roberts is a “rubber stamper”, a status quo judge. He promises to do nothing to change abortion. Among pro-life conservatives, mediocrity is a virtue. Hillary Clinton confidently endorses Roberts along with Right to Life. Hillary’s approval of Roberts makes her appear as a moderate.
So why do battles wage for and against Roberts nomination? It is the usual fund-raising tactics of both Planned Parenthood, and Right to Life. Planned Parenthood tells their donors that Bush is trying to end abortion. RTL assures us that Roberts is 100% pro-life. Both cry “GIVE! GIVE!”
Right to life offers no serious challenge to end abortion. THERE IS REALLY NOTHING FOR THE SUPREME COURT TO CONSIDER! South Dakota was prepared to pass legislation to outlaw abortion in March of 2004, but RTL joined forces with Planned Parenthood in defeating this legislation!
The Republican Party, in harness with RTL, consistently betrays the children slated for abortion. Nixon gave us Harry Blackmun, Ford gave us John Paul Stevens, Reagan gave us Sandra Day O’Conner and Anthony Kennedy, and George H. Bush (GHB) gave us David Souter.
GHB is a born-again pro-lifer. His miraculous conversion came about while he was Reagan’s running mate. While a congressman, GHB sponsored Title X (Family Planning) legislation, Barbara Bush sat on the board of Austin Planned Parenthood. In 2004, their son spent $288.3 million on Title X, $33 million more than Bill Clinton! Barbara and Laura Bush are unabashedly pro-abortion!
Pro-lifers say that Reagan and Bush were deceived on their nominee’s records; pro-lifers who believe this are self-deceived.
Judge Robert’s wife Jane is also a lawyer. Jane Roberts is a past Executive Vice-president of Feminists for Life, she volunteered her legal services for its incorporation. Jane was on the board of FFL from 1995-1999.
FFL is woman centered. They do not believe that abortion is in the best woman’s interests. "Abortion is a reflection that we have not met the needs of women. Women deserve better than abortion." writes Sherrin Foster, president of FFL. Foster and her followers consider the woman’s interests paramount.
Like Right to Life, Feminists for Life appeal to human reason rather than ultimate authority of God and his word.
RTL will never admit that for 33 years they have been following a failed strategy. They would rather make John Roberts the new pro-life standard. The term “pro-life” was rendered meaningless years ago. By RTL standards almost everyone is “pro-life”. I have had abortionists tell me they were pro-life!
Planned Parenthood wants to make abortion safe, legal, and rare. How do RTL goals differ from that of PP’s? Howard Dean and Democrats for Life are trying to make the Democratic Party appear less radical on abortion. We see little or no difference in the ideology of either party, yet America continues to kill 4000 babies per day!
If we were truly a nation under God we should obey God’s commandments. We should not spit on the 6th Commandment and the children made in HIS image and likeness. God is sovereign over the affairs of men. HE does not give mankind permission to murder their children born or unborn.
We cannot work for God without God. We cannot win an appeal based solely on human reason. It is idolatry to put our faith and trust in any institution, party, or organization. We must put our faith and trust solely in God and HIS word. Only then will we be in a position to outlaw abortion, sodomy, pornography, and a host of other evils. If we fail, others will build on our ashes. I see little hope for change.
