Throw the baby out with the birth water.

If you are a female newborn in China, this could happen to you.

Male babies are prized in China because they will grow up to help in the fields; subsequently, female babies are left to die in trash bins due to China's one-child-per-family policy.

In a way, it is a good concept for China to try to limit the number of Chinese mouths to feed, but this whole concept is backfiring. Why? As we know, it does take two to tango, and in the future, the prized male babies that grew to adulthood will not have a female with which to marry and have a baby. Unencumbered males will roam the streets in search of things to do. Crime, problems and homosexual behaviour can only follow.

Is that really what China wants? What it will cause is even more oppression as Chinese authorities put the clamps down on these overpopulous men. And the Chinese will suffer even more. Without hope, because God is not allowed.

There are some that help through the adoption of Chinese orphans. I have a friend at work that has done that very thing. But real change is not going to come in China until God is allowed in and all life is valued.

Pray for evangelical missionaries in China!

With the Sept 11 anniversary coming up, I wondered how much hype there would be over it. I was hoping it would be a quiet, still, respectable kind of hype.

So far, it seems to be.

Here's a site about Sept 11 that I've enjoyed perusing.

Never forget.

So, the major league baseball players have decided to strike starting Aug 30.

My thought is, "Who cares? I stopped following MLB in 1994 when they struck then." Idiots. They're getting the chance to play sports for a living, which is not a chance I have at all being a 40 year old female, and they're whining because they don't get enough money.

Greedy idiots.

Police say every single one of his ribs was broken. His left leg was also broken. As was his left arm.

He died of pneumonia brought on by his injuries.

And he was a three month old infant.

It gets worse. There are signs that he was sodomized.

How could something so horrible, so almost unspeakable, happen? How could the father of this baby have allegedly done this to his own flesh and blood?

It is because the father of this baby did not value life. He did not value the beautiful creation that his son was; a special creation in the image of God. If mothers can abort a living child from within a womb, what is the difference in killing a 3 month old infant? None.

Fathers, love your sons and daughters. Mothers, don't murder your children in the womb.

Pretty simple, if you ask me.

Whoooopppeeeeee!

I just ordered a 2003 PT Cruiser Turbo! (a.k.a. GT Cruiser)

Cranberry, Auto-stick, moonroof, standard wheels, supplemental side air bags, driver's seat height adjuster, cloth seats. No leather seats, no chrome wheels, thankyouverrymuch.

Pretty early for me to already be having a mid-life crisis since I just turned 40 yesterday, right?

Hmmm. Gotta go pray about that!

Another baby has lost her right to live.

The decision by a Pennsylvania judge that issued an injunction against a 23 year old woman having an abortion was dissolved by another Pennsylvania judge. The woman can now abort her baby over the protests of the baby's father. (See my blog entry from yesterday for more info).

"A woman's right to have an abortion 'is not subject to being vetoed by a woman's husband or partner,' said [the judge], who is based in eastern Pennsylvania's Luzerne County. 'Neither an ex-boyfriend nor a fetus has standing to interfere with a woman's choice to terminate her pregnancy.' "

Let's see. That would make this woman and other women who choose to abort their babies the equivalent of God. That's because only God has the right to create or destroy life and this judge has upheld that this woman has the choice to destroy life even over the objections of others personally and intimately involved in that life.

And women only thought that they were oppressed by the patriarchy. They have the power to choose to kill! That's not oppression, that is complete "freedom."

With a woman's supremely powerful choice, another baby has lost her right to live. Another father has lost out on being called "Daddy."

And God weeps. And so should we.

One would think that they think it is the stupidest decision ever made by a judge.

A judge in Philadelphia has ruled that a 23 year old woman cannot abort her 10 week old fetus. Allegedly, the mother of the 23 year old woman is encouraging her daughter to abort the child because she does not like the father.

Abortion rights activists are contending that the judge is usurping the woman's right to choice. "It absolutely stunned me when this happened; it's clearly an error as a matter of law," [Elizabeth Cavendish, legal director for the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League] said. "You wonder what judge in this country is unaware that women in this country have the right to choice."

Let's look at that last part for a second. A woman's right to choice. What's the choice? To abort her baby. Some would say, "But it is her own body and she can do with it what she wishes." Um, that may be the law of this land, but there are other bodies involved in this choice of hers.

Not only is there the body of her 10 week old fetus, who is busy in the womb swallowing and kicking, but in this case brought before the Pennsylvania judge, there is the body (and rights) of the father of the child involved.

So, this choice involves more than her own body. Therefore, it is not as simple as some abortion rights activists would make it out to be.

Choosy mothers choose life!
