Congresswoman Holds Back Tears Urging Democrats to Ban Late Abortions

Democrats came to the House floor yesterday one after another refusing to support a ban on late-term abortions the House eventually passed on a mostly part-line vote.

One congresswoman, in describing how abortion kills unborn children, was so distressed to see so many lawmakers ignoring their plight she had to hold back tears during her speech on the House floor.

Rep. Virginia Foxx, a North Carolina Republican, told her colleagues: “May we, in love, defend the unborn. May we, in humility, confront this national sin, and may we mourn what abortion reveals about the conscience of our nation.”

“Madam Speaker, we go to extraordinary lengths to save, not only human beings but even animals, because we value life so much. However, there are many who do not hold the unborn in the same esteem, and that is tragic,” she added. “There’s nothing more important than protecting voiceless, unborn children and their families from the travesty of abortion.”

She must have missed the Nat’l Democrap Convention, where they all voted “Nay” to God.

democrats still behave like blacks are bound in slavery. yet they have no problem endorsing laws permitting murder of the unborn.

Jesus, come back now, no more delay, the evil people believe the world would be so much better if we the ones they believe are the root of all problems, were gone. let them test that hypothesis.

i believe those last seven years are so hellish and increasingly destructive because believers have been removed and they have nobody else left to blame but themselves, all the hateful christians are gone, and their own plans and schemes results in much of the destruction dscribed in revelation. they get their wish, they have seven years to shape their utopia, and it is nothing but horror after horror. they run the entire earth into detroit.

Cognitive dissonance makes your head hurt, and eventually takes it’s toll on your physical health...

This is how the human sheep divide from the human goats, however.

Matthew 24:22

And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

We all wished to be raptured from our air-conditioned suburban retreat but such may not be the case...

“Madam Speaker”

I just don’t get the “Madam Speaker” bit. Is she referring to Marsha Blackburn, the manager of the bill?
