To pull the funding would take 60% of both the House and Senate...not 51%. Neither the Democrats or the Republicans have that kind of majority. Neither is there enough majority of the House, Senate, and States to pass a Constitution Admendment that would codify against RIGHT TO KILL, and DEFINING MARRIAGE between one man and one woman.

The last Constitutional Admendment that passed both House and Senate, then presented to each of the 50 States for ratification was the HUGELY popular Equal Rights Amendment which narrowly failed. Therefore the Republicans alone do not have the power to enact such restrictions. If it were left up to Republican Presidents alone, these evil practices would have been abolished long ago...even before they got started. Ronald Reagan was OUTRAGED by the practice of killing these little babies before they were born. So has every Republican president since Roe V. Wade. Democrat presidents LOVE IT...THEY LOVE TO KILL those babies and support the murderous women's RIGHT TO KILL both by voice, vote, legislature, and appointment to the Bench.

Not so with the Republican presidents. They voice against it, the veto further legislation, and appoint men such as Scalia, Thomas, Alito, and Roberts to the bench that WILL FIGHT IT, tooth and nail. Already, with one swing vote has the DEMOCRAT partial birth abortion been struck down by a 5 to 4 vote.

What a horrible practice the Democrats defended. Partial birth... My God! Even late term. Too gruesome to even think about on a fully developed child at the time of birth...puncturing the skull of a little baby whom the Lord of heaven chose to send into the world, then suck the little darling's brains out and collpase its skull. Some of the more gruesome practices have included chopping of the head of the baby as it was being born.

Got the Democrats...not the republicans...and all the jumping, asile running and shouting Apostolics who voted for them to THANK FOR THAT!

But the Democrats are so livid and demonically possesed against any judge that they perceive to be conservatice/constructionst. Remember Judge Bork? Short memory, huh? Too bad that he let it be known how he felt about the RIGHT TO KILL, standing tall for RIGHT TO LIFE. Since it was known how he felt before the confirmation hearings the Democrats marshalled every evil force to defeat his nomination. Well, they did. We lost probably one of the greatest justice appointment to the Bench since Oliver Wendell Holmes appointed by Teddy Rosevelt.

I've said it before, it is worth saying again. I would again vote for possibly the 2nd worse president in the last 100 years for a 3rd term and 4th term, even if it meant that USA would be plunged into the greatest depression in its HISTORY if it meant that we could replace Ruth Beta Ginsberg, now 77 and John Paul Stevens, now 87 with another Thomas, or Scalia. Think of the millions of babies that would be saved from the great American HOLOCAUST. I would prefer a DEPRESSION SO SEVERE IT WOULD POP OUT THE EYEBALLS, than to see this great WICKNESS to continue.

So, if you Apostolics vote in another DEMOCRAT as president, he will replace John Paul Stevens and Ruth Beta Ginzberg with exactly their type, leaving NO HOPE that Roe v. Wade will be overturned. THE RIGHT TO KILL will remain in tact. If there are 10,000 Apostolics that vote in a Democrat and there are a million babies killed every year, an annual rate of 10,000 slaughtered children per year can be attributed to your guilt. Therefore, it becomes a MORAL issue for each and every Apostolic.

No, this is not an economic issue, even though there was a dip in abortions in 1997. It is the conscience of America issue. The Republicans know it. Most are determined to fight the RIGHT TO KILL. I will place my support to anyone or anything that will commit to cease this horrible, evil, wicked practice by getting the Judicial branch of Government working like it should. The Republicans are commited to it.
So what happened when we had a republican majority? Please!

Didn't you read my posts?

Republican majority is NOT enough. On issues like this, you must have 60% in the House and Senate. Republicans have never had that KIND of a majority. A time or two, there was ALMOST enough majority to do it, but not quite. At least they have put forth a heroic effort on more than one occasions.

If I recall correctly, it was in 1991 or 92 that an important piece of legislature authored by the Republicans in the Senate to overturn partial birth abortion that was subsequently blocked by the Democrats in the name of Right to Choose, read Right to Kill. I recall still the Senator Bob Smith a heroric Republican who stood for over three hours filberbusting against an amendment that would have virtually killed the bill, authored by a Democrat.

I recall how passionate he was. I watched as the man pled with the Senate so passionately that I was moved to tears. I had never seen anything like it before nor have I since. I tried to call his office to speak to him...it was so powerful. The wicked, evil, hard-hearted Democrats prevailed. The wicked, grotesque partial birth proceedure continued until it was finally overtuned with a more conservative leaning Supreme Court. There was only a small mention of Senator Smith in the news.

I would vote for ANY man or woman, be they Democrat or Republican who will appoint constructionist Justices to the Bench. Let the self-centered, prosperity loving at any cost, addicted to ease and comfort suffer a very hard winter of depression, but for the cause of getting "original intent" judges back on the bench.

Just this past week, exclusively Democrats voted against Christianity in Congress. Congress voted in overwhelming favor of Ramadan, the high holy Day and the high holy day of the Hindu religion as well...not ONE Democrat objecting. Then, Christianity's Christmas came up for a vote as to it's importance in American life. Yes, you guessed it. The Democrats voted against putting it on the same level of importance as Ramadan and the Hindu holy day...only Democrats. There were no Republican votes against it. There were a total of NINE DEMOCRATS that voted against Christian's Christmas who voted for recognizing the importance of the heathern religions' importance in America.

They are Godless...hating the very word Christian. Yet, an Apostolic will vote for these devils for office. I am aghast.

I've always said and believed, "A nation, whatever it may be, DESERVES the government that they have."

Can Apostolics be Democrats?

Sure for a period of time... a very short period...

like about as long as it takes to make their way to an old fashioned altar!

LOL....

Do you actually believe that the blood of Jesus can wash away such a deep stain of guilt?

I'm impressed by the power of the blood.

We have to believe the word of God even if we see little evidence, "...and such were some of you..."

No different today. It's the same. Nothing has changed.

Wicked politics drove Jesus to the cross after he was spat upon, mocked, beaten with stripes, and placed a crown of thorns upon his loving brow. That was not enough, even in death they drove a spear into his side.

It's the same today. Nothing has changed. The world hates him as much today as they did then.

Many disciples are the same as they were then. They will watch from afar, hide in the shadows and DO NOTHING, sometime even being embarassed to profess before the world that they know him.

Today's silent, do nothing, run and hide disciples are as complicit in the awful crime against heaven as they were then, so long ago. Nothing has changed but for the courageous few that will speak out against and act against wickedness in HIGH PLACES of government.
