President Obama echoed his support for abortion rights today, the 38th anniversary of the Supreme Court's pro-choice decision in Roe v. Wade.
"Government should not intrude on private family matters," Obama said in a statement, adding that he also supports policies to prevented "unintended pregnancies."
The president made his statement as thousands of abortion opponents planned annual March for Life rallies, with many hoping that the new Republican-run House will enact new restrictions on the practice....

Let me be very clear on the positions I’ve have taken on that. I want there to be no misunderstanding. I’ve said repeatedly, that I will not, that my Conservative government will not be tabling any legislation impacting in any way a woman’s right to choose.
Thank you Chris, John, & jpw for your prayers and words of encouragement! May God encourage, bless, and sustain you at all times, places and situations now and always! May Jesus, lift you and your love ones up and bless them!
Jessica, I am praying for you as well! Know that Christ is with you, He will never forsake the called.
A naturopath, especially Christian, can be very helpful, if you are able to get to one, in discerning causes.
Many of the degenerative diseases today have causes not explored by the allopath, chemical imbalances of the brain can result. Look at lymecryme website for some info on this if you are interested. I am not giving medical advice but just some thoughts.
When our minds are not working properly it DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE LORD HAS FORSAKEN US!! He is with you!

Great point. During a Bill Gothard seminar back in the late 70s, Gothard made a great illustration how current application of modern situation ethics would most likely have resulted in the abortion of Ludwig Van Beethoven, had he been conceived after the passage of Roe vs. Wade.
Jessica.
May God be pleased to give your doctors much wisdom--and you yourself much patience and comfort--during this present time of suffering.

Pro-death hypocrite types say government shouldn't intrude on private family matters, yet abortion itself was codified into law by a government court decision in the first place. Apparently they are oblivious to the contradiction.

in other words to quote..."Government should not intrude on private family matters,"
Matthew 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Matthew 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

Please pray for me: I have schizophrenia and I hear evil voices speaking against God. May God give me the inner strength to resist the enemy and all his wiles! May I be blameless before God and man. Thank-you and God bless!

Murders, knifings, brutality, A dead apostate Church ect.
Im curious about this new concern for private family decisions. Does that mean he's ok with me home schooling? What about health care decisions? Can I make the private decision to possess the means to protect my family when I leave home? Its almost as funny as Hillary Clinton arguing for states rights but being ok with federally mandated health care. The inconsistency of it all is about to make me lose all my hair.

Perhaps Obama has something to do with it. Quote; "“Barack Obama is the most extreme pro-abortion candidate ever to seek the office of President of the United States. He is the most extreme pro-abortion member of the United States Senate. Indeed, he is the most extreme pro-abortion legislator ever to serve in either house of the United States Congress.”
So writes Robert George, a professor of jurisprudence at Princeton, in an online essay that, since it was published a few days ago, has persuaded many conservative Christians that – whatever McCain’s failings – Obama shows a horrific disregard for unborn life that should disqualify him from serving as a commissioner of drains, let alone president."The Telegraph 2008
The new Repub led Congress has a large number of new blood. It doesn't please the old guard royals, but who cares? H.R.3 has been introduced, called The "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act." If it goes through, Planned Parentood will lose millions, and the federal government will no longer be allowed to fund the crimes of this corruption.
Maya, your idea is right but your application is all wrong. Yes, freedom means some people are going do some things you don't like. The key here as to whether or not government should intervene is whether or not someone else's rights are being hurt. My actions are allowed until they take away your god given rights. In abortion, the baby's right to life is being taken, so government (coercive force) is right to intervene. What worries me is that you don't see the baby as having the right to life. Why not?
In her defense, she's not advocating that nobody ever use force. That you say that tells me that you haven't thought it through, and you are running on emotion or something else.
The story says: "The president made his statement as thousands of abortion opponents planned annual March for Life rallies, with many hoping that the new Republican-run House will enact new restrictions on the practice."
They were in Total Control of the House and Senate and they had the Presidency from 2000-2008 and didn't enact any restrictions...

So you would agree that no one has been given the right to "control others," the ones known as the unborn?

You may want to clarify what you mean, or at least think about it. If you mean; we as private citizens, can't enforce a law, then you are right. But if you mean; no one has the right to make any laws or enforce them (even government)then you are way wrong. Governments need to do more than offer an opinion. They do have a right to contol actions. Else what you would have it Anarchy.
Parents have the right, and responsibility to make sure their children are obedient. You don't just suggest an option to a three year old that is chocking his sister.
Employers have the right to make peole leave the job if they refuse to do the work.
As far as your Free Will statement; yes people are responsible to be obedient, but if everyone has ther power to do what ever they want at anytime by just choosing, then Rom. ch. 7 is meaningless.
"Government should not intrude on private family matters," Obama said in a statement"
Government and Obama have already intruded on family matters - BY taking away the rights of the unborn child and killing him/her.
Obama's legislation and therefore his decision (and mind set) has made the killing of unborn children an acceptable criminal option and therefore a violation of the rights of these children.

Meya;
As TW has pointed out the "will" cannot ever be "free" OF SIN, until God makes the sinner free and brings them into the liberty of Christ by faith.
