In the sanctity of all innocent human life from the moment of conception to the time of natural death.
That all human beings are granted certain rights by the creator, that the greatest of these is the right to life, and that all other rights are of little value if the rights of everyone to life are violated.
That the primary function of legitimate government is to secure these rights for all and that it is the duty of everyone to engage in the responsible exercise of citizenship to insure these rights for all people, especially for those unable to advocate for themselves.
Adoption, instead of abortion is the loving option. All babies are God's special gifts.

Obama Nation Flyer - Available for print out and distribution.
References for information in Obama Nation Flyer Private citizens and organizations should inform others of Obama's extreme positions against humanity. Permission is granted to link, forward and make copies of this flyer as widely as possible. Churches and other 501c3 organizations themselves, however, cannot distribute these flyers because their tax exempt status allows discussion of issues, but not the positions of only one candidate. Pastors cannot authorize distribution of this flyer on church property or with church funds, but everyone (even pastors) can educate their fellow citizens as private citizens themselves. Anyone may pass on this information to Christians and others of good conscience, for example, on public property (sidewalks and at street corners and parking lot entrances/exits) even after church. Campaign finance laws do not permit, however, broadcasting such information by television and radio within 60 days of an election. |

Is your doctor Pro-Life? What is the position and practice of the hospital whose services you use regarding the rights of the unborn and elderly, abortion, euthanasia, and other life issues? How do you find out? |
|
One way is to contact the Christian Medical and Dental Society. Or, just ask your physician. A truly Pro Life doctor will not be offended and if yours turns out to be pro-abortion, at least you can then follow an informed conscience! |
