What about defending themselves against “death machines” called Left-wing liberals? She is just another shining example that the American left suffers from a severe mental disorder know in the word of God as “a depraved/reprobate heart.” — Pastor Ward Clinton

Ken Ham: Think about it! The abortion holocaust far surpasses the terrible atrocities of Hitler. Could it be that one of the reasons God is withdrawing the restraining influence of the Holy Spirit in this culture and turning people over to debased things (read Romans 1) is because this nation has brutally murdered around 55 million children?
God-fearing people certainly feel outrage over the massive number of unborn children murdered. Our cries of outrage are silenced quickly, though, by a culture that tells us this issue is “political,” and therefore out of a sense of politeness we should keep our views to ourselves. Likewise, if we express a biblical view of marriage and sexuality, we are silenced with accusations of bigotry. Similarly, if we proclaim to believe the Holy Bible is an accurate record of the origins of the universe, our planet, and humanity… we are silenced with ridicule. Abortion and these other issues are touchy issues, and I have found that even in the church we are discouraged from speaking of them openly for fear of driving a brother or sister away from the faith. In this way, our churches are becoming like the culture.
There are only 50 million children in school in America.
In June of 1857, the year before he would challenge Illinois Democrat and incumbent Senator Stephen A. Douglas for a seat in the U.S. Senate, Abraham Lincoln addressed the subject of Dred Scott and whether decisions of the Supreme Court should be challenged. Lincoln, was, famously, a lawyer and a good one. He revered the law. And up until the Dred Scott decision, issued by the Court months earlier in March of 1857, Lincoln was unhesitating in his support of judicial decisions. But deliberately, willfully inserting slavery into the Constitution — not based on the law but on the pro-slavery sentiments of the Court’s members, notably including Chief Justice Roger Taney — was a bridge too far for Lincoln. In writing his opinion on the case Taney had quite specifically made his bias plain, saying that African-Americans “had no rights which the white man was bound to respect.”
Lincoln biographer David Herbert Donald writes of Lincoln’s reaction this way:
“So blatant was the Chief Justice’s misreading of the law, so gross was his distortion of the documents fundamental to American liberty [meaning the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution], that Lincoln’s faith in an impartial, rational judiciary was shaken; never again did he give deference to the rulings of the Supreme Court.”
Not only was Lincoln done with his faith in giving “deference” to the idea of “an impartial, rational judiciary,” he used his speech to tear into Douglas (whom he refers to always as “Judge Douglas” in reference to Douglas’s earlier title as a Justice on the Illinois Supreme Court) for Douglas’s hypocrisy on the issue. In the wake of Dred Scott Douglas was an enthusiastic supporter of the Court’s decision. Lincoln accused Douglas and Chief Justice Taney of, in Herbert’s words, “working, together with other Democrats, to extend and perpetuate slavery.” With the Dred Scott case decided and slavery now, supposedly, enshrined in the Constitution forever, Douglas wanted no one to tamper with it — much less try and undo it.
