"Yes, Hitler killed 6 millions, while America has killed over 50 million of the complete innocent humans!" AMEN, H.D. Schmidt, and that number is now much closer to 60 million -- a million times more little babies have been murdered in this modern holocaust, which, like the first, has the complete legal sanction of the government. The development of ultrasound has shown us what the Lord told us centuries ago in Psalm 139, but many people are blind, apparently willingly so. God help America! Grassroots national repentance is our only hope.

What does that mean? It only means that America while still claiming to be under God and its money says in God we trust, is more and more ungodly! And yes, making Adolph Hitler look better every day in comparison; not to say that he was not an evil man, which he was! Our pulpits have become too timid to point out sins! What America is doing to its unborn, the way I see it, it has become the greatest insult ever to the Gospel! Yes, Hitler killed 6 millions, while America has killed over 50 million of the complete innocent humans!

The apparent shift in evangelical views to pro-choice might have to do w/how often conservative Christian women abort: in 2008, 75% of abortions were to women who self-identified as Catholic or Protestant Christians. Perhaps the frenzy of pro-life poll guides and rallies is a reflection of our own sense of guilt before God, which might be better confessed than politicked.

Actually, the Wall Street Journal just published the results of a study showing that Roe has the highest level of public support since they started doing these surveys in the late 1980s. 7 in 10 Americans support a woman's right to choose, with only 9% (christian fundamentalists) opposed to abortion in all cases. The younger generation might not be activist, but they are just as supportive of women's rights as those who fought for reproductive rights 40 years ago.
