President Barack Obama issued a statement today, celebrating the 43rd anniversary of the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that declared abortion a constitutionally protected right. "Today, we mark the 43rd anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade, which affirmed a woman's freedom to make her own choices about her body and her health," said Obama. In a report issued last week, the National Right to Life Committee estimated that there have been 58,586,256 abortions in the United States since Roe v. Wade. The NRLC's estimate is based on data published by the Guttmacher Institute and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Here is President Obama’s full statement on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade: "Today, we mark the 43rd anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade, which affirmed a woman's freedom to make her own choices about her body and her health. The decision supports the broader principle that the government should not intrude on private decisions made between a woman and her doctor. As we commemorate this day, we also redouble our commitment to protecting these constitutional rights, including protecting a woman's access to safe, affordable health care and her right to reproductive freedom from efforts to undermine or overturn them. In America, every single one of us deserves the rights, freedoms, and opportunities to fulfill our dreams..."

What about a baby's right? Don't our most vulnerable citizens have rights? Obama's god cannot be the God of the Bible who had this to say of the Abortion industry in Israel...
Jeremiah 19:5 They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:
The Bible is clear when it states that the line God draws is when a nation begins killing their own children. When this happens, judgment is inevitable. Not if, but when! When a nation begins killing its own children, there is no going back. However, making abortion mandatory by subsidizing it with taxpayer dollars is going beyond legalized abortion. Especially when all of our leaders know exactly what happens in these abortion mills thanks to clever investigative reporting! I am no prophet, but I believe that in our lifetime we are going to see spectacular judgments on the United States of America. What makes me say this? The next verses showing God's judgment for nations that murder their children...
Jeremiah 19:7 ...and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies , and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and their carcases will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth. 8 And I will make this city desolate, and an hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof. 9 And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them.
The only hope for those of us who truly weep at these abominations is to hide yourself in Christ Jesus. The day of evil is here. The righteous hide themselves in God who even in judgment remembers mercy. The wicked continue on and are punished (Prov 22:3)
ObamaCare affirms freedom too.
losing elections has consequences.
Five hundred and eighty football stadiums filled with one hundred thousand people. That’s what that number means.
Christ will be fulfilling John 14:3 soon.
Those left behind, will endure His wrath. It’ll be indescribably ugly.
I agree with you, however what have our Republicants done to stop abortion?
They said we had to abort our babies because overpopulation would harm Mother Earth, now they say we have to open the borders wide for unassimilatable “immigrants” because we aren’t having enough babies.
It’s hard to get your head around numbers like that.There’s no word in the English language to describe the loss.Tragedy doesn’t even begin to do it.
Saw a great post on Facebook that pointed out that we are willing to search for microbes on other planets and call it “life”, but we can’t acknowledge that an unborn baby is alive.
Anyone born after 1973 should thank God every day for the gift of life.
I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live
-Deuteronomy 30:19
Whatever else it is, it’s a WARNING to America about where its hearts are.
If not actively malevolent, they are despairing.
The presence of Jesus, invited, is the answer to both issues. Notice I said Jesus and this is ahead of where the Old Testament is. But why boil willow bark if we can take the aspirin?
I think we will see this evil genie shoved back into its bottle, but it is going to take some visible rumbling of God on the ground, so to speak. And it won’t look like law. It will look like love.
I believe the bible does use “freedom” in a sarcastic sense, but I can’t put my finger on the reference right now.
But it’s a woman’s right to do with her body as she chooses. Wait, it’s against the law for this same person to end her own life (suicide) when she decides. Meanwhile, that poor innocent life gets mutilated without a chance to be adopted by loving foster parents who will pay for everything. Our pathetic Obama will burn long and hard as he cannot lie or cheat his way out of the thing we call just punishment.
Abortion means “freedom” like islam means “peace”.
(This is evidence against the eugenics argument for abortion since people understood how to avoid out of wedlock pregnancies prior to Roe v Wade, so they appear do have become much dumber since Roe v Wade.)
if roe v wade affirms freedom, then dred scott affirms black lives matter.
Great verse...and so true! Europe and America have chosen death. Now, we are eating the fruit of death with our cultures being destroyed by Islam and colonizers...
The first step out of this is to realize that God does not play this thing on the level of “deserving” except to those who insist on earning something.
The moment people turn over to Jesus and start accepting the gift, is the moment that what was claimed as earned (which turns out to be death) is knocked out of the picture.
