When Planned Parenthood Goes After Joni Ersnt, She's Gets My Vote

I've been seeing these Planned Parenthood ads going after Republican Senate candidate Joni Ernst and all I can say is: she's got my vote.  That means that she is a threat, that she takes her pro-life position seriously.

 Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Planned Parenthood in Iowa has closed 11 clinics in last two years and if Ernst is elected, they face even greater resistance and restrictions.  The abortion industry is big business.  In 2009, they performed 332,278 abortions and made just 977 adoption referrals.  That makes up 37% of their income, which has led to 500 million in profits over the last decade.  If you do the math, thats $185 million dollars in profit from killing the unborn. They give few to no mammograms.  They frequently recommend sadomasochism, bondage, and torture (and worse, like fecal play) to underage girls.  They have been found to encourage and cover up statutory rape and child sex abuse, help and hide child sex trafficking, and encourage illegal sex-selective abortion. Basically, they are evil and should be opposed on all fronts.  There is nothing they do positive that your local pregnancy center doesn't do.





And apparently, Jodi Ernst is a threat. She must not be some politician only giving lip service to being pro-life just to get votes.  She even sponsored a personhood amendment to the Iowa Constitution.  That would define the unborn as a person with the rights of a full adult while in the womb.  That kind of definition seems pretty consistent with Psalm 139, don't you think?

Bruce Braley, however, has made it clear he is very pro abortion.  He released an ad you may have seen attacking Ernst's position and this online ad, rich with rhetoric like "women's bodies," "choice," "access," and "rights." Using those kind of buzz words, while lacking any real substance or addressing of abortion, is consistent with the political games of pro-choice politicians. "War on Women" and all that. What about the body of the unborn?  What about the choice and rights of the little girls killed in abortion?  The difference between Ernst and Braley on abortion couldn't be clearer.



If the unborn is a human life, made in the image of God, it should be opposed on all fronts.  No, I do not only care for the unborn and yes, I fully support helping and caring for moms and families.  But yep, these days I'm a one-issue voter.  If you are for the killing of children made in the image of God, I will never vote for you.  Joni Ernst, however, really seems to be standing to protect the unborn.  So much so, she has drawn the ire of the biggest abortion provider in the country.  Braley, however, stands in firm support of abortion. So, Iowa Christian, how will you vote? Truthfully, I'm not a fan of her cliche, female politician hair.  But God bless her, she's got my vote.

7 Responses to the Misleading Hobby Lobby Aftermath

The Law is reason free from passion. - Aristotle I was very disturbed by the aftermath of the Hobby Lobby ruling yesterday, both from my friends on social media, from bloggers online, and from politicians with real power and influence. After I read the case and wrote a basic outline , I kept hearing people, over and over again, say things that simply were not true. There was a lot of passionate rhetoric that had no substance in reality. At best, this response is proof that our political discourse has truly devolved into ignorant soundbites that get the most clicks and votes, where truth is an afterthought. At worst, politicians and pundits are deliberately deceiving people to rile up your base and smear political opponents. It's probably a little bit of both. Remember the narrative pushed by the left: the Republican war on women. It's not about Truth, it's about the narrative that helps re-election. I picked out a few of the deceptive untrue or irrelevent memes I ...

8 Keys to Understanding Today's Hobby Lobby Ruling

My legal mind really enjoyed reading the Hobby Lobby case today. Here are 8 keys to understanding the ruling, it actually makes a ton of sense. 1. Hobby Lobby already provided 16 of the 20 contraceptives mandated by the Affordable Care Act. They only objected to IUDs and morning after pills that may prevent implantation of a fertilized egg, thereby violating their religious beliefs that life begins at conception and should be protected. 2. The Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) was an act passed by a Democratic Congress in 1993 (and signed by Clinton) that reiterated religious protection of all "persons" by requiring that any law, even if applying to the general public, must not "substantially burden" one's religious convictions without being for a "compelling government interest" and using the "least restrictive means."

Portrait of a Prophet: Daniel (spoken word full text)

After much prayer and reflection, I gave this spoken word poem at Vineyard Community Church on 4/6/14 over the life of Daniel the Prophet. On The Shores of Babylon Daniel's Answer to The King by Briton Riviere (1890) God is my Judge That’s what my name means You may know me as Daniel But they even tried to take that from me I know you live in an age of plenty You think yourselves quite mighty And scoff at the idea of tyranny But take a minute, remove this cultural context which is so blinding And step into my shoes, you’ll see what I mean
