BUSH BETRAYS PRO-LIFE CAUSE AGAIN, BACKS FEDERAL AID TO OVERSEAS ABORTION PROVIDERS

 

 

By Pastor Chuck Baldwin

May 1, 2003

NewsWithViews.com

Again and again, President G. W. Bush has betrayed the pro-life cause. The latest example is his push for $15 billion in U.S. tax dollars to be sent to Africa for A.I.D.S prevention.

According to British sources, "President George W. Bush dismissed a bid by conservative Christians to restrict his $15 billion foreign initiative to fight A.I.D.S. to only those programs that reject abortion and promote abstinence." In other words, Bush proposes to send federal dollars to those organizations that promote abortion and promiscuity.

The New York Times concurred with the British report by saying, "Ignoring objections from his conservative base, President Bush is to make a Rose Garden speech on Tuesday in support of a $15 billion bill to fight A.I.D.S. internationally that will direct some money to groups that promote abortion."

By choosing to fund pro-abortion groups, Bush is breaking his word to pro-lifers and is proving, once again, that he has no real convictions regarding the life issue.

Furthermore, Bush is a living, breathing example of the old adage, "The man who has a reputation of an early-riser can sleep 'till noon." Bush enjoys the reputation of a pro-life, pro-family president and, therefore, is able to repeatedly endorse pro-abortion and pro-homosexual proposals, and few people even notice.

Bush has done every bit as much to promote the homosexual agenda as Bill Clinton did, maybe more. He has done absolutely nothing of substance to promote the life issue. Just the opposite. He has routinely compromised and capitulated the life issue to the point that it is now laughable when anyone calls this president "pro-life."

Overall, the A.I.D.S. epidemic is behaviorally spread. It is mostly spread through promiscuous homosexual sex. Of course, it is also spread through promiscuous heterosexual sex and through germ- infected intravenous drug needles.

The vast percentage of A.I.D.S. victims are reaping the consequences of their own decadent lifestyles. Sadly, the fallout of this disease also impacts many children, hemophiliacs and others, who have become the innocent victims of other people's sins. No amount of tax dollars will solve that problem. Only a repentant heart and changed lifestyle will cure the escalating spread of A.I.D.S. And, by the way, this remedy requires no federal tax dollars!

Perhaps one day conservative Christians will wake up to the fact that Mr. Bush seldom represents them and will decide to put their combined support and influence behind a principled conservative who will be faithful to the immutable laws upon which this nation was founded. Perhaps.

And your alternative is???? Or is it just easier to bitch like the Rats do?

Reminds me of a saying that one of my old battalion commanders used frequently: "Don't come to me with problems, only come to me with solutions." Advice this "pastor" should learn, as well as yourself if you believe this crap.

My friend, I've already woken up. The question is one of alternative. So far there is none.

Bush has no clear convictions on the life issue?!

How soon we forget the very difficult stand he took early in his term regarding stem cell research. He stood his ground as well as he possibly could.

Let me guess. Republican strategy = Throwing the elections to the Democrats with a spoiler who takes 10% of the vote. Brilliant.

>>In other words, Bush proposes to send federal dollars to those organizations that promote abortion and promiscuity.<<

Can you see the fallacy in his argument? The fact that Bush didn't agree to restrict the money to programs that reject abortion and promote abstinence DOES NOT MEAN Bush PROPOSES to send money to those organizations that PROMOTE abortion and promiscuity.

He earmarked funds to fight aids; I am sure he had very good reasons for not agreeing to these limitations. He's a smart man and as we've seen in the past, a method always exists behind the seeming madness.

(To my mind, I do not see what promoting promiscuity and abortion even have to do with fighting aids.)

Either the author uses fallacious reasoning because he thinks we are stupid, or he is stupid and doesn't know any better.

He forgot that the women often have no choice in the matter--their men sleep around and bring the disease home to them. It's the African way.

The guy who wrote this article is a moron.

"Bush has done every bit as much to promote the homosexual agenda as Bill Clinton did, maybe more."

Oh really? Ask Timothy Tymkovich and Jay Bybee.

"Overall, the A.I.D.S. epidemic is behaviorally spread. It is mostly spread through promiscuous homosexual sex. Of course, it is also spread through promiscuous heterosexual sex and through germ- infected intravenous drug needles."

What a dope. In Africa, the vast majority of AIDS is spread heterosexually, as many African blacks don't even know what homosexuality is.

"By choosing to fund pro-abortion groups, Bush is breaking his word to pro-lifers and is proving, once again, that he has no real convictions regarding the life issue."

False. Bush could do better at times, but very often he's done pro-life things. His judicial nominees are very conservative, for the most part.

Are you a native speaker of English, or is it a second language for you?

No disrespect intended, but your language and grammar indicate that you have learned English in a particular fashion... not the writings of a native speaker.

You can't do everything. Bush is doing all he can to get good conservative judges put on the courts. That's enough for me right now.

This clap trap of a liberal system wasn't built in a day. It will have to be dismantled piece by piece over a long period of time.

Comparing the Bush first 2 and a half years to the scumbag in chief automatically stops the read of this trash.

There are many christians who need to get a life or get out of politics. I find their opinions to be no better than a partisan hack.
