Slowly, slowly Christianity is being cast as something undesirable in the US. Is it me or is Pres Obama moving away from his "faith"? It seems only the other day when he was praising Islam's contribution to America. I know he was being a politician...but....
Amidst all of the American flags and presidential seals, there was something missing when President Barack Obama gave an economic speech at Georgetown University this week -- Jesus....

President Obama okays funding embryonic stem cell research (but removes adult stem cell funding)
What are the issues involved?

Earlier this month, President Barack Obama reversed a Bush executive order which limited federal funds for embryonic stem cell research to lines created before 9 August 2001 (see US Senate passes embryonic stem cell bill; President vetoes). Under Obama’s new executive order, federal funding will be available for new embryonic stem cell lines, created by the destruction of human embryos. Some in the media have hailed this as a step forward for science. Others try to garner support for the decision by enlisting the support of family members of individuals who suffer from illnesses like ALS (Lou Gehrig s Syndrome) and diabetes, who hope that this form of stem-cell research might lead to cures of their conditions. But do the facts back up such hope? read more...

Fight FOCA (Freedom of Choice Act)
"The first thing I'd do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. That's the first thing that I'd do." -- Senator Barack Obama, speaking to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, July 17, 2007
From NARAL Pro-Choice America :
Thanks, President Obama!
Just days into Obama's presidency, he took swift and decisive action to end the global gag rule. The repeal of the global gag rule means that health clinics in developing countries will again be able to offer the world's poorest women access to much needed reproductive-health services, from birth control to prenatal care.
The above statement is just another way of saying, "thanks President Obama for making abortions more readily available."
We Christians may well be limited in what we can do but we still have prayer and a voice. Don't sit down and give up. Fight FOCA have a petition we can sign to get our message across. We must find our collective voice and not give up.
Please go to the Fight FOCA website and sign the petition.
Thank you.
