    The Morning After Pill and the End of Parenthood
    http://www.albertmohler.com/blog_print.php?id=3666

    “Like their older counterparts, 17-year-old women will now be able to go to almost any pharmacy, clinic or hospital and, after showing proof of age, buy Plan B without a prescription. Men 17 and older may also buy Plan B for a partner.”

    Hmmm… So a 17-year-old male can now buy an abortifacient without a prescription for his 12-year-old girlfriend?  No questions asked. Sounds like a license for child rape. Open season on little girls. Is that what this means? Why else do they give “men” (really 17yo boys) the right to buy these drugs?

    FDA Caves, Makes Plan B Available to 17-Year-Olds without Prescription
    http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009/apr/09042305.html

    “Though Plan B is normally considered a ‘contraceptive,’ studies by the FDA and Plan B’s manufacturer have shown Plan B to cause the death of an already fertilized embryo in 75 to 89% of cases, rather than prevent conception.”

    Barack Obama: Joke of the Day

    | April 26, 2009

    100 DAYS, 100 MISTAKES
    http://www.nypost.com/seven/04252009/postopinion/opedcolumnists/100_days__100_mistakes_166177.htm?page=0

    I think there are many more than 100 mistakes because there were lots of stories I followed that weren’t mentioned in the list. Here are a few good ones among the 100 mistakes mentioned.

    5. “The White House says the president is unaware of the tea parties.” — ABC News, 4/15

     (Liar liar pants on fire)

    6. “Mr. Obama is an accomplished orator but is becoming known in America as the ‘teleprompt president’ over his reliance on the machine when he gives a speech.” — Sky News, 3/18

    (“Teleprompter President” is good, but I think ”Infanticide President” or ”Lying President” also apply.)

    11. The picture of Obama and Hugo Chavez shaking hands.

    (Similiar to his knuckle bump with his wife during the campaign.)

    35. “You’re sitting here. And you’re — you are laughing. You are laughing about some of these problems. Are people going to look at this and say, ‘I mean, he’s sitting there just making jokes about money–’ How do you deal with — I mean: Explain. Are you punch-drunk?” — Steve Kroft [to Obama], “60 Minutes,” 3/22

    39. “I’ve been practicing bowling. I bowled a 129. It was like the Special Olympics or something.” — Obama on “The Tonight Show”

    49. Obama bows to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia at a G-20 meeting in London.

    50. “It wasn’t a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he’s taller than King Abdullah.” — An Obama aide

    (CLEARLY a LIE because you could see his left hand in the video. But of course, he’s NOT taller than the Queen.)

    53. Three candidates for ambassador to the Vatican — including Caroline Kennedy — were turned down by the Holy See because they supported abortion, according to reports.

    56. For an April 14 speech at Georgetown, the administration asked the university to cover up all signs and symbols — including the letters “IHS” in gold, a symbol for Jesus.

    72. On Earth Day, Obama took two flights on Air Force One and four on Marine One to get to Iowa, burning more than 9,000 gallons of fuel.

    74. “And I believe the nation that invented the automobile cannot walk away from it.” — Obama during his first State Of The Union address. A German invented the automobile

    90. In the third sentence of his first speech as president, Obama said, “44 Americans have now taken the presidential oath.” The correct number is 43, as Grover Cleveland served twice.

    92. Giving the Queen of England an iPod full of his own speeches.

    98. “Education Secretary Arne Duncan has decided not to admit any new students to the D.C. voucher program, which allows low-income children to attend private schools … For all the talk about putting children first, it’s clear that the special interests that have long opposed vouchers are getting their way.” — Washington Post, 4/11

    99. Obama enrolled his daughters in a DC private school.

    and EVERYTHING that came out of Biden’s mouth should be on the list.

    Five Year Old Taught a Lesson by Public School Teacher

    Teacher Sends 5-Year-Old Home From School With Bag of Feces
    http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=325033

    “The hired hand is not the shepherd who owns the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. ‘I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me– just as the Father knows me and I know the Father– and I lay down my life for the sheep.’”
    John 10:12-15 NIV

    Bless this Child, In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

    My youngest nephew was baptised on Easter Sunday in the Presbyterian church.

    GRANT TO THIS CHILD THE INWARD GRACE
    http://nethymnal.org/htm/g/t/t/g2tchild.htm

    Grant to this child the inward grace,
    While we the outward sign impart;
    The cross we on his forehead trace
    Do Thou engrave upon his heart.

    May it his pride and glory be,
    Beneath Thy banner fair unfurled,
    To march to certain victory
    O’er sin, o’er Satan, o’er the world.

    GRACIOUS SAVIOR, GENTLE SHEPHERD

    http://nethymnal.org/htm/g/s/grasavgs.htm

    Gracious Savior, gentle Shepherd,
    Our little ones are dear to Thee;
    Gathered with Thine arms and carried
    In Thy bosom may they be
    Sweetly, gently, safely tended,
    From all want and danger free.

    Tender Shepherd, never leave them
    From Thy fold to go astray;
    By Thy look of love directed,
    May they walk the narrow way;
    Thus direct them, and protect them,
    Lest they fall an easy prey.

    Let Thy holy Word instruct them:
    Fill their minds with heav’nly light;
    Let Thy love and grace constrain them,
    To approve whate’er is right,
    Take Thine easy yoke and wear it,
    And to prove Thy burden light.

    Cleanse their hearts from sinful folly
    In the stream Thy love supplied;
    Mingled streams of blood and water
    Flowing from Thy wounded side;
    And to heav’nly pastures lead them,
    Where Thine own still waters glide.

    OUR CHILDREN, LORD, IN FAITH AND PRAYER
    http://nethymnal.org/htm/o/u/ourchild.htm

    Our children, Lord, in faith and prayer,
    We now devote to Thee;
    Let them Thy covenant mercies share,
    And Thy salvation see.

    Such helpless babes Thou didst embrace,
    While dwelling here below;
    To us and ours, O God of grace,
    The same compassion show.

    In early days their hearts secure,
    From worldly snares, we pray;
    O let them to the end endure
    In every righteous way.
