Pro-Life Unity Director to Appear on Television Interview Next Week! Watch Jenny in action during an interview with Ray McBerry on Channel 17, Monday through Friday next week, at 9:30-10am and 5:30-6pm! Read Jennifer's latest field report! Why this site and why now? This site is designed to help you — in order to help them live. There is a growing grassroots movement in Georgia seeking to reestablish the sanctity of each and every human life from conception to old age. Join together with men, women, and children from every walk of life and every denomination of the Christian faith in this mighty work of God's people to protect the lives of those little ones who are utterly unable to protect themselves. Help your fellow Georgia citizens end this terrible holocaust of human life. Now is the time, as the momentum and the voices of concerned Georgians rise, for you to become part of something significant in the history of our land. As never before since the Roe v. Wade decision, we have within our grasp the instrument which will turn the tide — House Bill 1. The crucial battle to see House Bill 1 become the law of our state is now at hand! We cannot let up in our efforts for so many lives are at stake. We need to lobby strongly for the passage of HB1, the bill that puts Sanctity of Life principles to work on an every day basis in our state, shutting down and criminalizing the practice of abortion.

Welcome to Georgia Human Life AdvocacyA site dedicated to the Sanctity of Life in Georgia Call to Action! Yesterday I was spending a ridiculous amount of time on Facebook. I went to one site and observed a photo of a sign which stated, " Why all Democrats are in league with the Devil." This really got me thinking. If Jesus began His earthly ministry today, I would think he would begin by pointing out the pharisees and hypocrites, and I have a feeling it wouldn't be the Democrats He started in on. The self- righteousness within the Republican party is a little frightening to observe. Are we in such denial over our failings to ourselves, our children, our posterity and our freedom? When George W. Bush entered the Oval Office, we all had such high hopes. Yet, he introduced a prescription program that is an entitlement, big government program draining our finances. He Do we have a Republic and freedom? Or do we have a new King George and a Kingdom that is becoming an international empire, draining the finances of an already bankrupt country. And what of our hypocrisy? We justify invading other countries because they are tyrannical. Yet, we butcher 4,000 of our own people each and every day. Is there a tyranny greater than the open murder of millions of prenatal babies who are the most innocent and helpless among us? Do I blame President Bush? Do I blame the Republican leadership? No. I blame us. All of us. It is our duty and responsibility to keep our government small and honest. We have failed. We spend our time As I have gone through the process over the past months and weeks in an effort to be a district, state and national delegate, one thing keeps pounding through my mind. This year is the Republican party Are good Republicans those who tow the line, buck up and give respect and allegiance? Or are good Republicans those who tow the line, buck up and demand freedom, small government, limited taxation, and peace? Are the Democrats in league with the devil? Or are we? God help us! We cannot help ourselves! For Life & Liberty, Further Clarification on Immunizations Dear Readers, I have received one email from a concerned pediatrician who is very supportive of the current vaccine schedule as mandated for American children by the civil government. This doctor feels that I am misleading my readers and providing inaccurate information. I'm not a doctor, so I thought it would be best to quote from a spectrum of doctors in order to support my claim that non-immunized children are healthier than immunized children, and that vaccines in their current form are dangerous. After doing some additional research, I did notice a few things I should correct. As of 2002, the National Vaccination Injury Compensation Program had handed out $1.4 billion in tax dollars to children harmed by vaccinations. Pharmaceutical lobbyists pushed for a 75 cent tax on every vaccine in order to fund this Federal agency. That way when there is a problem with the vaccines, the vaccinated pay the compensation bill. Brilliant strategy to my way of thinking. The companies producing the vaccines never get sacked with the monetary penalties of a dangerous product. The autism rate is 1 in 166 vaccinated children, not 1 in 66 vaccinated children. Also, generally 10% of vaccinated children are at risk for and develop asthma. Here are the quotes: There is a great deal of evidence to prove that the immunization of children does more harm than good. (Dr. J. Anthony Morris, former Chief Vaccine Control Officer at the U.S. Federal Drug Administration) All vaccination has the effect of directing the three values of the blood into or toward the zone characteristics of cancer and leukemia...Vaccines do predispose to cancer and leukemia. (Professor L. Vincent – founder of Bioelectronics) In regard to the TB vaccine – It may leave an ugly scar and, indeed, do more harm than good. Further, as TB, with rare exceptions, is largely a disease of the elderly in the Western world, vaccinating children makes no sense. TB in Britain is a legacy of its empire. As long as people from third world countries come and settle here, there cannot be a let-up in its spread. People who come from high prevalence countries will continue to harbor TB germs in their bodies until they die. The World Health Organization has set its face against vaccination and routine screening. It advocates effective disease management-early diagnosis and supervised treatment - to contain it and avoid its spread to the host community. Vaccination wastes resources, gives false hope and distracts attention from what needs to be done. (Dr. Surinder Bakhshi, Consultant in Communicable Disease Control, Birmingham) Official data shows that large scale vaccination has failed to obtain any significant improvement of the diseases against which they were supposed to provide protection. (Dr. Sabin, developer of the Polio vaccine) Only after realizing that routine immunizations were dangerous did I achieve a substantial drop in infant death rates. The worst vaccine of all is the whooping cough vaccine...it is responsible for a lot of deaths and for a lot of infants suffering irreversible brain damage. In susceptible infants, it knocks their immune systems about, leading to irreparable brain damage, or severe attacks or even deaths from the diseases like pneumonia or gastroenteritis and so on. (Dr. Kalokerinos, M.D.) The evidence for indicting immunizations for SIDS is circumstantial, but compelling. However, the keepers of the keys to medical-research funds are not interested in searching this very important lead to the cause of an ongoing, and possibly preventable, tragedy. Anything that implies that immunizations are not the greatest medical advance in the history of public health is ignored or ridiculed. Can you imagine the economic and political import of discovering that immunizations are killing thousands of babies? (Dr. William C. Douglass, M.D.,honored twice as America's 'Doctor of the Year'.) The only safe vaccine is a vaccine that is never used. (Dr. James A. Shannon, National Institutes of Health) This final quote is by Harold E. Buttram, M.D. and he conveyed my thoughts exactly: Based on more than forty years of observation of the vaccine scene, I am increasingly convinced that science has not and never will be a governing factor in this area as long as vested interest has the power to mandate vaccines. Experience has shown that those in power simply ignore that which does not suit them. In my opinion there is only one basic issue with which we are confronted; there is only one hope of reversing the current downward health trend among American children, and that is for parents to gain the right of free choice to accept or reject vaccines based on informed consent. Under today's bureaucratic regime, this right will never be given to parents. Following legal channels, it is a right that must be demanded. It will not be easy, but it can and must be done. Personally I will support anything or anyone leading in this direction. It is interesting that some clinics in the U.S. encourage informed consent immunizations. This way they stay politically correct by not recommending parents not vaccinate their children. But as a result of informed consent, the children are not vaccinated. Here is the link to an article posted yesterday on a clinic in Chicago that has studied over 30,000 non-vaccinated children. http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/Health/2005/12/07/the_age_of_autism_a_pretty_big_secret/6829/ Equip yourself with all the information out there. Here is a website that lists other websites concerning this important issue: http://www.vaccinetruth.org/websites_not_to_miss.htm I had mentioned in my article that the Pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine is extremely dangerous. The National Vaccine Information Center had detailed information on the horrors of this vaccine. I have provided an excerpt for you here: Of all the vaccines which have been routinely used by children in the past century, the brain damaging effects of the pertussis (whooping cough) portion of DPT vaccine is among the most well documented in the scientific literature. Created in 1912, the crude pertussis vaccine basically consisted of B. pertussis bacteria killed with heat, preserved with formaldehyde, and injected into children. In the early 1940's, aluminum was added as an adjuvant and later the mercury preservative, thimerosal, was added when pertussis was combined with diphtheria and tetanus vaccines to create DPT. Pertussis vaccine was never studied in large clinical trials before being given to children in the first half of the 20th century or after it was combined into DPT and recommended for mass use by the American Academy of Pediatrics in 1947. The pertussis vaccine's ability to kill was first signaled in 1933 when T. Madsen reported two babies died within minutes of vaccination. In 1947, Matthew Brody gave detailed descriptions of two cases involving brain damage and death after pertussis vaccination. But, it was the 1948 published case study by Byers and Moll that gave the strongest warning that children were suffering brain inflammation within 72 hours of pertussis vaccination and being left with various kinds of brain damage. Forty years later, the prospective UCLA/FDA study published in Pediatrics in 1981 comparing DT and DPT vaccines would find that 1 in 875 DPT shots is followed by either a convulsion or collapse shock episode within 48 hours of vaccination. Biological mechanisms for pertussis vaccine induced brain damage center on pertussis toxin (PT), one of the most lethal toxins in nature. Pertussis toxin is a known neurotoxin, a reliable inducer of brain inflammation and brain damage, which is why it is used in lab animals to deliberately induce EAE (experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis). Pertussis toxin is implicated in brain inflammation caused by pertussis (whooping cough) complications as well as pertussis vaccine complications. Unfortunately, pertussis toxin is also thought to be responsible for stimulating immunity which is why it remains in DPT, DTaP and Tdap vaccines.. Other ingredients in DPT vaccine, which have been associated with neuroimmune dysfunction and may interact synergistically with pertussis toxin to cause shock, brain damage or death are: endotoxin, aluminum, and mercury. After decades of reports in the medical literature that the pertussis portion of DPT vaccine was causing brain damage in some children, the large, case controlled National Childhood Encephalopathy Study was conducted in Britain and published in 1981. It confirmed a statistically significant association between pertussis vaccine or pertussis-containing vaccines (DPT) and acute brain inflammation leading to permanent brain damage. An NCES reanalysis 10 years later re-confirmed the finding. In 1994, the Institute of Medicine, National Academy of Sciences, published a report validating the conclusions of NCES, stating that " "the balance of evidence is consistent with a causal relation between DPT and the forms of chronic nervous system dysfunction in the NCES in those children who experience a serious acute neurological illness within 7 days after receiving DPT vaccine. (www.nvic.org/myths.htm). For Life & Liberty, And, after all, what is a lie? 'Tis but the truth in masquerade. It is unfortunate that South Dakota's first attempt at protecting life was shot down by National Right to Life--one of their board members is a Senator in S.D. and worked tirelessly to sabotage the legislation in the House committee process and then in the Senate. The idea to put it on a ballot was just to stall for more time. One of my friends, a leader of an Atlanta prolife organization, was in SD for three months and said that the NRLC people who went out there to campaign against the legislation were very open about stating- "If abortion is outlawed, where does that leave us?" The Thomas More Law Center has a very in depth report on the evil NRLC committed in regard to South Dakota's legislation. (Go to this link, and scroll down mid-page: Thomas Moore ) Now South Dakota, via Vote Yes for Life, is trying again, this time with exceptions: life of the mother, rape and incest. We need to identify things that are harmful to our cause. To allow for any exceptions, to say that it is ok to kill the baby in certain cases, is not in accordance with Scripture. See Deut. 24:16- Children are not to be put to death for the sins of their fathers. Also, Deut 24:17-18, children without fathers are to be protected from injustice by the entire society (that means you and me). We are calling what is evil good when we accept any legislation that allows for the murder of innocent life. There is a way that seems right to man, but is an abomination to God. Our conscience has become hardened to evil. Furthermore, we have entangled ourselves in false arguments. To say that prenatal murder is acceptable for the life of the mother is a false argument. Medically it has never, NEVER, been considered an abortion if medical intervention is used that saves the mother and ends in the death of the baby. But to intentionally kill the baby while trying not to harm the mother is certainly a horse of a different color. That is always and absolutely murder in every instance. Ultimately, we must recognize that life and liberty are inextricably bound. If the civil government grants the right to life, they also grant the right to liberty. This is why our liberties and freedoms have been so completely eroded in this country. Babies in the womb cannot be murdered because the right to life is granted by God. Any legislation that gives to the civil government the right to grant or withhold that right is intrinsically evil. We must come to see that God is not a big bowl of warm fuzzies. The Bible teaches us that God is a consuming fire, and that He hates the hands of those who shed innocent blood. Our God is a God who kills people, who brings forth horrific judgement on those who defile His land and His people. The judgement that befell the Jews in 70 A.D. was horrific. Jesus warned his disciples to be watchful of the times when this great judgement would befall God's people who rejected and crucified our Christ. Reading through the Old and New Testament is a demonstration that God is a jealous God, and will not abide an evil people who claim to be His and then defile themselves by serving false gods and committing horrific crimes. We have murdered over 50 million innocent Americans in only 35 years. Our children will inherit a country devastated by debt to foreign countries, an immense tax burden (we are one of the most taxed people on the planet), and bioethics that have reduced humanity to less than animals. We are legislated to the point of insanity (the Georgia House passed a bill on Friday allotting the same penalty as smoking a joint to selling marijuana flavored candy -- flavored candy! We are not even allowed to drive in this state without our seat belt on). Our dollar is failing, and some countries are refusing payment for products in U.S. dollars. The Federal Reserve is a farce, debilitating our economy and stealing from the population through bogus banking practices and printing billions in "money" that is backed by nothing. And though Bush ran on a platform promising a noninterventionist foreign policy, we are entrenched in a war that is bleeding our already financially wounded country dry. We are in a time of judgement because God's people continue to call what is evil good. "If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, turn from their wicked ways and call on Me, then I will hear them." To accept any legislation that says it is all right to kill innocent life in some cases is evil. It is calling what is evil good. A half truth is not a truth. " And, after all, what is a lie? ' Tis but the truth in masquerade," Lord Byron. Let us not shirk in our duty or faint in the way, but demand that which is ours to have: God given Life and Liberty. We have only to reach out our hand and take it! If God is before us, who can be against us? If only we could see the power that is within our grasp! Was it not Elisha who stood boldly against the army of the King of Aram? Elisha prayed for the eyes of his fearful servant to be opened and his servant beheld the hills full of horses and chariots of fire ready to protect Elisha (2 Kings 6). If only our eyes would be unveiled in order that we would stand firm and fast and resolute in this urgent time. If ever a day came to stand without compromise and with unbending determination, brothers & sisters, that day is upon us. As Washington urged his men when failure loomed large and the light of hope was growing dim, "Today let us fight not for ourselves nor for our families, but for the millions of unborn Americans who will come after us." The Duty is Ours, The Outcome is God's. For Life & Liberty, Vaccinations, a Success Story of Profit Pharmaceutical companies today have it made. Their lobbyists are really the most successful in the country. Think about it. Pharmaceutical companies have their products mandated by the civil governments of all 50 states in the form of vaccinations. Tax dollars are alloted to vaccinate children who otherwise couldn't afford it. So your money is used to buy their product for other children. Furthermore, many states and even federal law has granted immunity to these companies in the event that their products cause serious health problems or death. Consider the fact that the pharmaceutical company Eli Lily was granted immunity in the Homeland Security Act for their mercury-laced vaccines. It certainly doesn't hurt that many of our elected civil government officials own stock or receive large campaign donations from these successful companies. Even better, pharmaceutical companies go into medical schools and educate their best salesmen, doctors, how to sell the product to the consumer. Doctors have become the middle man. What's not to like? Unfortunately, Pharmaceutical companies do not have the built-in, corrective safeguards of a free market, in which the parents of damaged children can sue for financial compensation for injuries--this would cause some of these companies to go under completely, and we wouldn't have to worry about them anymore. But the civil government stepped in to help them out with our tax dollars. The agency: The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Did anyone catch what happened? Instead of making pharmaceutical companies pay damages, our benevolent government is forcing us, the consumer, to pay the damages by using our tax dollars! Thus far, over 800 million dollars have been paid out for injuries. I state all of the above to demonstrate that you should be very cautious about stepping into the vaccination cycle with your most precious possession: your children. The deck is stacked against the consumer from the beginning, and all the while the health and lives of your offspring are put at risk. Vaccines today have many hidden dangers. First and foremost, the chicken pox vaccine is created using aborted fetal tissue cell lines. Chicken pox along with polio and hepatitis are now only available this way. Many of the other childhood vaccines are also created using aborted fetal tissue cell lines, but you can at least request vaccines made from monkey kidney tissue or chicken embryo cells. Check the preservatives! And also check the health risks of the vaccines. The whooping cough vaccine (pertussis) is 100x more dangerous than contracting pertussis. Weigh the risk of the vaccine against the risk of the disease. And don't let your pediatrician lump together vaccines. Each vaccine can be bought individually, so you are not forced to vaccinate for DPT if all you want is the P (pertussis). SIDS is directly related to vaccines. Consider that more than 3,000 infants die yearly in the U.S. within 4 days of receiving a vaccination. In the 70's, Japan raised the immunization age from 2 months to 2 years, and their SIDS rate dropped immediately and drastically. Furthermore, the risk of autism amongst vaccinated children is now projected to be 1 in 66. In the 1950's the autism rate was less than 1 in 100,000! Here are a couple very useful websites to aid you in your research: The National Autism Association – this organization is run by parents. Whatever you decide to do with regard to managing your children's healthcare, I hope that you will join me in calling on Georgia legislators to repeal all civil law regarding vaccinations. Pharmaceutical companies must operate within the built in safeguards of a free market. Vaccines are not the cure-all panacea of our time. In fact, the evidence strongly suggests that vaccines, as they are For Life & Liberty,
From whom do our rights come? To whom are we enslaved? The civil government has granted the populace the "right" to healthcare. We are now enslaved to the type of healthcare the civil government provides. Vaccinations are a perfect example of this. Initially vaccinations were highly recommended to keep babies and young children safe from debilitating disease, today vaccines are mandated by the civil government in all 50 states. Vaccines are developed with one thing in mind: profit. So testing is not extensive enough, and side effects are largely ignored. Thus, civil goverment grants immunity to pharmaceutical companies from families who experience death, autism or or negative effects from vaccines. Consider that the Homeland Security Act had within it a couple lines granting full immunity to Eli Lily, a pharmaceutical company manufacturing mercury-laced vaccines. Between 1992 and 2002 the autism rate in all 50 states rose 1000%. (Go to National Autism Association for more disturbing facts). Every year 3,000 babies in the U.S. who die of SIDS do so within 4 days of receiving vaccines. In the 70's, Japan changed the immunization age from 2 months to 2 years, and the SIDS rate dropped dramatically. The pertussis vaccine (Whooping Cough) is 100 times more dangerous than just getting whooping cough. Did you know there is a federal agency who exists for the sole purpose of financially reimbursing parents for negative immunization effects? So far, they've handed out over $800,000,000 in your tax payer money! The World Net Daily posted an article this morning pointing out that states are now collecting DNA samples from newborns, and using it without the parents' knowledge or wishes. (http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=60643). When rights are given to us by the civil government, we quickly become powerless. Since healthcare is now a government-granted right, we are at the mercy of whatever manner of healthcare the civil government deems necessary for us. Shouldn't fathers and mothers have the final right to make informed decisions about the injections our children receive – especially considering the serious health risks some of these highly-touted vaccines pose to our children? Think About It, Help Us Do Something About It! *Just Posted: One Final Fight For Life This Session! Friday, April 4th is the last day of the legislative season, and we intend to go out with a bang! Representative Bobby Franklin, via fancy footwork within the framework of Georgia House Rules, will have 20 minutes in the well to present to the chamber his request to suspend the rules in order to substitute the language of HB1, making prenatal murder a felony, for the language of SB16, which is in regard to dog fighting. The House will vote on whether or not to suspend the rules so as to make the language substitution and then vote on the "new" SB 16 making prenatal murder a felony. We need your help! Please call your Representative and ask him/her to vote "yes" with Rep. Bobby Franklin on suspending the rules. Also, come down to the Capitol tomorrow so that you can personally see your representative and be present in the chamber when Bobby makes his presentation. Let's all support life and support our crusader for life, Rep. Bobby Franklin.
The Rise of Paternal Government Power and the Erosion of Parental Rights It is disturbing to watch the mutual decline of life and liberty in our country and state. Now that life and personhood are rights granted by the civil government & medical community, it seems every other right is now the civil government's to hand out to the populace with a list of requirements if they intend to keep their civil government-given rights. When you have children, you are made painfully aware of who owns your child. Children are a gift from the Lord to parents. The children belong to the parents, and live under the family government and under the headship of their father. The care given to the children is the sole responsibility and right of the parents. In Georgia, however, children before birth are the property of their mothers to be kept or disposed of as the mother sees fit. Once born, children belong to the civil government, and it is the duty of the parents to obey the civil government in the care of the children, or the civil government has granted itself the right to take away the children. This ownership begins the moment of birth. By state law, your child receives a vitamin k shot and the PKU test. If you do not want these procedures, you must sign a paper for religious abstention and hope your nurses don't call DFACS. Before you go home, your child receives his first vaccination. By state law, you must place your child in a carseat in order to take him home, and he must remain in a carseat each time he rides in a car until he is the age of 6. By state law, your child must attend school by a certain age. By state law, if you choose to educate your own child rather than having the state educate your child, you must submit attendance reports and do yearly testing so the state can make sure you are taking good care of its property. By state law, your child must have certain vaccinations before being allowed to enter the state school. By state law, should you purchase your child abicycle, you must also insure that he wears a helmet. Should you choose to spank your child, there is also a state law in regard to that-how long the mark can last, and where the spanking is to be applied to the child. If one of your children die, the civil government has granted itself the authority to remove all your other children from your home until an investigation is completed in order to prove your innocence in the death of your child. There is nothing necessarily wrong with helmets, car seats, discipline, vaccines, or vitamin K shots. But it is not the right of the government to dictate to us how we care for our children. God did not grant civil government that kind of authority. I'm amused when people ask, "What if a parent is irresponsible?" If a parent is irresponsible, it is for the church and community to fill in the gap. Do we really believe that the civil government, a perfect example of red tape, wasted money, abuse of power, bureaucratic nonsense, and dreadful neglect is capable of stepping in and adequatelyraising children? When the family government breaks down, it is then for the church to care for and educate the orphans. Civil government does not hold the power that it grants to itself. In fact, our Constitution was written as a restraint to civil government. Our Founding Fathers understood that civil government always seeks to take away. Our Constitution assumes the rights of the people, and restrains the civil government so as to protect those God given rights. The duty of civil government is to protect the life and liberty of the populace. That is all. Our liberty, our life, our property, our children are granted to us by our Creator. We must restrain the civil government, make our will known to those we elect, and take back the power that has been
Sad Outcome on HB1, Yet the Fight Continues I was at the Capitol yesterday for four hours, and have come away forced to acknowledge that HB1 is in fact dead for this legislative season. What have we learned? We have a meaningless Pro-life stamp of approval when it comes to our politicians. Thus, our Pro-life majority in the House has passed a bill to make dog fighting a felony, and killed the effort to make Pre-born murder a felony. Upon leaving the Capitol, I ended up waiting at a light with a Senator whom many consider to be the leading pro-lifer in the Senate, but he's spent his political capital more fully pursuing dog advocacy than baby advocacy this year. Since he's been working on the dog fighting bill for the past four years (over which time 160,000 babies have been slaughtered in Atlanta), and his bill is finally getting traction, he's pleased with what's looking for him to be a successful legislative season. Where does this leave GeorgiaHLA? We are committed to seeing the end of abortion in Georgia and the standard for human life raised in our medical, social, and political community. This is an election year for the House, Senate, Superior Court Judges and District Attorneys. It is crucial that we fully utilize this right by getting involved in the process personally. The candidates need to hear from you. Don't limit your voice to looking at a Voter Guide and going to the polls. Whatever political party you align yourself with, make sure that the life issue is front and center. Attend meetings, get the word out. People are apathetic because they aren't equipped with knowledge. Our daily articles will continue, shedding light on Cherish Life and Liberty issues. We are here to keep you informed on a wide spectrum of issues, empowering you to get involved and get vocal. Partner with us financially and actively, to bring transformation and change to Greater Atlanta and our state. We will be expanding our ministry in an effort to better educate, unify and act. The best is yet to be! For Life & Liberty, Animal Rights Continued...... In my research on the animal rights/anti-human rights movement I came across the following quote in Wesley Smith's book Culture of Death: To advance animal interests is to dilute human interests. Please call your Senator today, and ask him to stand against HB 301, The Dog Fighting Bill. Also, ask that the Senate urge the House to immediately pass HB1 which criminalizes abortion. We must act now. How can dog fighting be a felony when pre-born murder is not a felony? March 18 – Some people probably are alarmed that I would have a problem with laws that protect animals. Certainly I would agree that we have a duty before God to properly care for all our property, our animals included. We must analyze the duty and role of civil government. Certainly it is not the duty of civil government to right all the wrongs in our society or to legislate morality for our populace. If we decide that it is the proper role of government to dictate to us how we care for our animals, are we ok with government officials making regular visits into our home to see how well we are doing? Perhaps when we "adopt" an animal, we should have to obtain a license that establishes the right the government has given us to care for an animal. The civil government is not the moral police of the people. It is not the duty of civil government to be sympathetic or compassionate. Law must bring justice. Justice is the protection of our life and liberty and the punishment for those who infringe upon our life and liberty. Once the law as written by the civil government shows partiality to one subject, it automatically creates antipathy for the other subject, and thus ruins any possibility for justice. Concerning dog fighting; the man who owns the property of the dog is criminalized for having used his property in a way the civil government does not deem fit and proper. The owner is then convicted of wrongful use of private property, and sent to prison for, say, 5 years. Now he cannot provide for his family, he has a felony conviction on his record, and he is robbed of 5 years of his life. The civil law has sided with compassion for the dog and antipathy for the plight of the man. What happens when the civil government decides proper use for other private property in our possession or usurps other responsibilities? We are then rapidly sliding down the slippery slope. Let's look at the education of children. First, county civil governments offered public education where families had an active role in establishing the school, and hiring the teacher. Participation by the community was completely voluntary. The family was responsible for the education of their children, and could participate in and make use of opportunities the local civil government made available. Then districts and states began taking over the process of establishing the schools and teachers. As time marched forward, parents had a decreasing amount of authority and input into the educational process of their children. Today the civil government is responsible for the education of all children. Some local civil governments may choose to allow parents the privilege of overseeing the education of their children, as long as the government remains well informed and assured that the parent is capable of having this privilege. If I fail to meet the requirements of the civil government in Georgia concerning the education of my children, DFACS will be brought in and my children will be removed from my custody. When I first began reporting school days to the county, I forgot two months in a row. I received a phone call from the education department that the reports were to be provided to the government immediately, or a social worker would be sent to my home. This was a gross infringement on my personal liberty. The civil government has taken to itself authority granted only to the family government. What began as a good thing for public education has turned into an appalling crisis. Civil government is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. Let us return to the original point. For our lawmakers to take time concerning themselves with the well being of our private property--in this case dogs--and establish punishments for the wrongful use (as they see it) of our private property, is a usurpation of our liberty. Furthermore, dog fighting is not a common problem in Georgia. However, if it were, it would be for the community and church to frown upon and urge the abolishment of the practice. But let's look at the abortion issue. Abortion in Atlanta is an epidemic. We are slaughtering 40,000 children every year. Abortionists can commit abortion on children up to almost 7 months gestation. For our state representatives and state senators to even consider advancing the welfare of animals before dealing with the blood letting that is filling our city is a gross misuse of power and authority. The law is to be just and protect the life and liberty of each and every individual in our society. For our elected officials to look the other way while the lives and liberties of 500 children every week are snuffed-out is unacceptable. Perhaps some would say the law must show sympathy to the mother in crisis. This automatically creates antipathy for the child. The community and church must show sympathy to the mother in crisis, and help her to achieve motherhood and provide for her needs and the needs of her child. The law, and thus the civil government, is to show justice to both mother and child, abolish the tyranny of pre- born murder, and encourage the co-operative efforts of the private sector in promoting adoption and other services freely available. I am attempting to pack a lot into a few words here. Yet I do hope that you will see that life and liberty are eroded simultaneously. It is not possible to separate the two. Only the people can take back the life and liberty ripped from them by a tyrannical civil government. It is not the nature of civil government to be moderate and to be limited. It will always look to take more and more, leaving its citizens with less and less. For Life. . . For Liberty. . .For Humanity, Protecting Unborn Animals Currently Higher Priority March 17 – I love animals, and I believe that it is our duty to care for our animals honorably. However, human life and well being is greatly superior to animal life and well being. Unfortunately, our House and Senate have insured that animal life has higher value in our state than human life. Under current Georgia law if I were to perform an abortion on a fetal pig (a D&E abortion which is a dissection and extraction, where you cut the live baby up and remove her one piece at a time) I could go to prison for 5-7 years for cruelty to animals. Yet we do this to 500 babies a week in Atlanta. According to 16-12-4 in the Georgia law code, it is a criminal act to withhold food and water from an animal for any reason. In nursing homes and hospitals all over the state, it is perfectly legal to withhold food and water from terminally ill patients. Humans are dehydrated to death, frequently without even alerting the family. Remember Terri Schiavo? Unfortunately, Terri's case wasn't isolated, just better publicized. This act is legal in all 50 states, because the American Medical Association has defined giving food and water as offering medical intervention. Better re-write your living wills. This is a gruesome way to die that can take well over a week. The Georgia House, who effectively killed the Human Life Amendment, has rushed through a bill criminalizing dog fighting which is now in the Senate and the care of supposedly pro-life Republican Chip Rogers of Woodstock. In the Cobb GOP luncheon when the Human Life Amendment and Sanctity of Life bills were discussed by Glenn Richardson and others, Senator Rogers remained silent. But when it comes to animal rights, Senator Rogers is taking a firm and aggressive stand. In fact, according to an AJC article last week, he's been working on protecting dogs from dog fighting for four years! Slaughtered Georgia babies may take a back seat for Senator Rogers, but when it comes to the family dog, his devotion is front and center. How many Republican Representatives stood on principle and refused to vote in favor of the dog fighting bill sponsored by Republican Bobby Reese from Sugar Hill? Two. Bobby Franklin and Barry Loudermilk. Over 60 Representatives claimed to uphold the sanctity of human life and signed onto the Human Life Amendment which was killed by a 3 to 4 vote in committee. Save two, all those same Representatives insured that animal life continues to be held in higher regard than human life and voted in favor of the dog fighting bill. This is a disgrace. I urge you to call your Representative and rebuke him or her for voting yes to the dog fighting bill. Urge him to insure that HB1 is brought to the House floor for a vote. Furthermore, call your Senator and let him know that human life is of greater value than animal life. Encourage him to vote against HB 301, and instead take a stand against pre-born murder and euthanizing our old and terminally ill Georgians. For Life. . . For Liberty, Jenny National Right to Life – Really? March 14 – Today one of my friends was reviewing NRLC's (National Right to Life Committee) stance against all state efforts to end abortion. In a thoughtful e-mail, she quoted the following statement by James Bopp, Jr., legal counsel for NRLC: Besides the fact that Mr. Bopp's first three reasons reveal that apparently he has a crystal ball and the ability to tell us all what the future holds, note the fourth point very carefully. We shouldn't attempt in any way to challenge Roe v. Wade because we might end up giving pro-abortion lawyers a couple of hundred thousand dollars. Currently we give Planned Parenthood three hundred and fifity million dollars per year in tax money! In light of that stomach-wrenching statistic, I'm just not sure how some unethical lawyers collecting enough in legal fees to buy a house is a real road block in the fight for life. Does Mr. Bopp sound like a man who is desperate to stop abortion immediately in any possible way? Does NRLC sound like they are using fundraising dollars to obtain legal counsel that is urgently seeking to save the four thousand babies slaughtered daily? It's time for a Scottish Revival in the Pro-life movement. What's a Scottish Revival? Just this: No one gets saved, but a lot of chaff gets blown away. Bye bye, Chaff. Hello, Abolish Abortion '08. Stay tuned for more details. Asserting A Protect Life Standard March 11 – It is interesting how our society attempts to right moral wrong by creating more law. The medical community is godless. They answer to no authority but themselves, and hold the reins of life and death over each of us. In order to protect ourselves we try to legislate morality into the doctors. Think about it: The Woman's Right to Know law attempts to educate women in spite of their doctors; the ultrasound bill attempts to show women their babies in spite of their doctors; now there's a bill on the federal level, the Pre-natally and Post-natally Diagnosed Conditions Awareness Act to try in some way to limit the number of aborted handicapped children by giving parents information we can assume will not be shared by their doctors. Why not just address the root problem? The vast number of doctors in our country should beshunned by our community. The community holds the power. I can assure you that if the public came together and started going after the medical community for the complete and total disregard for human life, no legislation would be needed. Incremental legislation validates our culture of death. Doctors are protected from personal responsibility because a disregard for human life is legal. But what if each one of us began putting our doctors and our medical insurance companies through a screening process, rejecting immoral doctors and seeking out moral doctors, what would happen? Questions for your current doctor or a perspective doctor: Have you ever performed an abortion? Have you ever recommended abortion? What is your position today on abortiion? Have you ever recommended euthanasia for a terminally ill patient? Do you consider giving food and water to a patient as medical intervention? The only way to bring sweeping and immediate change is to effect the flow of money. When doctors realize that they are jeopardizing their entire career by performing abortions in med school or on the side when they have a regular practice, or by in any other way violating the cherish life principles, they will immediately stop these actions, because money talks louder than anything else. They won't do anything to jeopardize themselves. Legislators cannot give us back our right to life. God gave us our right to life, and we must assert that right for ourselves, our people and our future generations. So let's exert the power we hold, right now. Our future depends on it. Read Jenny's previous field reports. HB1 The rising momentum behind HB1 is breathing new life into the pro-life movement of Georgia. Those who have been activists here for years are feeling rejuvenated and hopeful. There are many, like myself, who are new to the movement, and are being called up by God to stand for life. It is also bringing together people who work for the sanctity of human life in other ways, through prison and street ministries. The fact that you are reading this website means that you care and want to get involved in upholding the sanctity of human life. I want to encourage you that no matter what your circumstances are, there are a number of ways you can help. Mother Theresa said, " If you can't feed 100 hungry people, just feed one," and it is the same in the human life crusade. Call your representatives www.congress.org and urge them to support HB1. Print the flyer and distribute it in your neighborhood, school or church. Pray in front of an abortion clinic this Saturday. Give financially for our lobbying effort at the Georgia Capitol. Clean out your attic, closets, and dressers, and give the clothing to Pro-Life Unity to distribute to needy families in Atlanta. Atlanta is an epicenter of corruption. We lead the nation in sex slavery, child prostitution, and late term on demand abortion. We have the oldest gestational age in the country for abortion for any reason: 26 weeks, 6 days. Praise God that we are getting new attention from national resources. Tony Nassif, from Preventing Abuse, www.preventingabuse.org, who spoke at the Jan. 14th Rally, will also be doing a conference in Atlanta on child prostitution in 2008. Flip Benham with Operation Save America will be bringing his national conference to Atlanta in 2008. Even now, LEARN www.learnsummit.org is having their national conference in Norcross this weekend. Plan on attending these events, which will equip you to bring change here in Georgia. We are so thankful for the prayers and help that Atlanta is receiving. It is important for our churches to become aware and involved in the mission field right here. It is time for a revolution of life to sweep our state, and for us to stand arm in arm for the sanctity of human life. May God bless our efforts, grant us repentance and renewal, and bring forth the passage of Georgia's Human Life Amendment! PS Now more than ever, we need your financial support to carry this fight for life and HB1 all the way to the floor of the Georgia House in 2008. Support Pro-Life Unity today! Update from Jenny: The Importance of HB1 House Bill 1 is a bill sponsored by Ga. Rep. Bobby Franklin which seeks to identify the negative effects of abortion on women and their families, establishes the jurisdiction of the federal courts and the state courts, and in so doing establishes that it is the right of the state, alone, to define murder and establish the penalties for murder.
