THE FAIR CHOICE ACT!
In searching the scriptures, I do not find anything regarding "abortions" per se’, but what I
found was most interesting. Many pagan religions involved fertility gods and also gods who required living sacrifices. God’s command to His people was to not intermarry or become involved with these pagan practices ....but they disobeyed.

Jeremiah 7:31; 19:5; 32:35; I prefer you read these scriptures for yourself. As you can see, in regards to Baal worship and sacrificing baby boys and girls to their god Molech, God says; "I never commanded it, and it never entered my mind"! You will note that God mentions this situation three times. Obviously, it was important to stress that God never thought about His people killing their own babies. This tells me that God has chosen not to know what his people intend to do - that is how choice works.

In Jeremiah, God is very disappointed with His people and He brings down Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnon. Later this place is called the valley of slaughter. Eventually the valley became the continually burning refuse dump for Jerusalem. In the New Testament it is referred to as Gehenna (or Hell), because it had the appearance of a "lake of fire". The name then was adapted to describe the actual future hell, the lake of fire, as noted in Revelation 20:15, to which all those who reject Christ and His commandments, will ultimately be consigned..
We know that aborting babies is wrong but you may not know that many people in the world and some of the Christian community do it not for sacrificing to a pagan god Molech but to their god of convenience, embarrassment and in addition, for financial reasons.. That was the exact reason the people of old, sacrificed their baby’s - they sacrificed to their fertility god so that their crops would be abundant. However, today, some have chosen to abort from the womb because our laws say that is not murder - a murder charge is given when killed outside of the womb. In the mind of many women, because it is their body, it is their decision of choice as to whether they should carry the child or not. It is not a moral issue to them!

On "The Factor", Bill O’Reilly’s show, October 10, 2006 he was giving some results from a CNN poll, that I thought were interesting; 35% of women have had abortions; 45% of women oppose abortions, except to save the life of the mother; 90% of Doctors don’t want to do abortions.

The Oregon Family Council conducted their 1996 election survey and 2006 election survey, of all the people running for political office with the following results:
1) Do you consider yourself pro-life? (Opposed to abortions)
1996 1.2% yes (D); 58% yes (R)
2) Do you support legislation requiring that a parent or guardian be notified before an abortion may be performed on a minor? In 2006 it says with 48 hour notification.
1996 10% yes (D); 83% yes (R)
2006 11% yes (D); 70% yes (R) note this measure lost in the 2006 Oregon election!
3) Would you support a law restricting abortion with exceptions only for rape, incest and the life of the mother? 1996 this poll was not taken
2006 4% yes (D); 67% yes (R)

Because of the changes in the 2009 White House administration, ‘The Fair Choice Act’ is once again being considered as law. If that should happen, we are in trouble! Jane Ann
