As I have blogged many times before, with the Global Economy the way it is, what is good for one is good for all. We all need to be building up the Middle Class, because it is the Middle Class that is the true backbone of each and every successful (developed) economy.

If only 'Big Business', the 'Religious Right' and the Republican Party would wake up and smell the coffee and realize that fact. After all, What good--What Real good comes from a business-Any and Every Business--To manufacture the best idem at the lowest cost, if no one can afford to buy it??

I do not know about other states, but the State of Ohio passed it's law banning Same Sex Marriage way back in 2006. Much has changed since then, many of us have learned to accept Homosexuality since then.  After all, many Homosexuals have earned Respect by serving in the military and by working hard on the job. Equality is the Just and Right thing to do.

Oklahoma Students “Accidentally” Shown Anti-Choice Propaganda Film

 

High school officials in Wagoner, Oklahoma say they happened to “accidentally” show viewings of a new anti-choice documentary “180″ and hand out free dvd’s to students, without parental permission. Of course.
The film was created to “change the mid of every pro-choice person who views it” by comparing abortion to the Holocaust.
Needless to say, parents were not happy about the “accident.”
As Robin Marty reports, it wasn’t until parents complained that the school stopped showing the film and confiscated the dvds. School superintendent Marte Thompson blamed a student aide for accidentally handing the movies out before the school got consent from parents. . . .

If Only These 'Right-Wing Christians' would let the Holy Spirit do HIS job. As if this is the way to spread the message of Love and of Life--NOT. This only makes Jesus look to week and to feeble that  He needs human intervention to save His Message.

If only These Christians would go back to the Book of Genesis and study the story of how Jacob received Esau's birthright through the trickery of their mother, Rebekah and the consequences that followed that deceit--as it that really was the Will of God.

In addition, these Christians have also forgotten or will not accept the Fact that the United States is a Secular Nation, where each person is free to practice any religion or No religion.

Finally, what these Christians have also forgotten that at the time that the Holy Bible was being lived out the Human population was very very small with short lives and high mortality rates and many diseases that killed--Today the Human population is mega times larger and is in serious danger of exceeding our food supply--Yes, Jesus is the same loving Saviour;BUT would Jesus really want the Human population to continue to grow well beyond the point that Earth can sustain life????

No, abortion should not be the first option, but a legal abortion is better than an illegal abortion, where both mother and child die. In addition, sometimes the mother's life really is worth saving, because sometimes pregnancies can become deadly, then the abortion becomes a very necessary option. Most Importantly, the Religious Right and the Republican Party have shown that there really is a slippery slope to avoid--first-- IL-legalize abortions then IL-legalize birth control and then start stripping Women of our Rights and our Freedom.
