Truth And Reconciliation Needed, Part 28 (How's Your Hearing?)

Not having hearing can be a physical and/or spiritual disability. Physical and spiritual hearing comes from God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit. Proverbs 20:12 Amplified Bible says, "The hearing ear and the seeing eye—the Lord has made both of them."

We can observe the evidence of someone's spiritual hearing by how the person acts. Proverbs 20:11 Amplified Bible says, "Even a child is known by his acts, whether [or not] what he does is pure and right."

If someone is not acting according to the love of God, show them Jesus Christ. Another name for Jesus Christ is the Word of God (the Bible). Jesus Christ likes to live in and through people. The Word of God is a great gift to give especially living Bibles -- a life overflowing with the love of God and people.

One can be offered a gift and not receive it. We can live among people filled with Jesus Christ and not have Jesus Christ living inside of us, or we can be living with Jesus but not allowing His life to be lived through us. If we don't hear well, we will not speak and live well. Mark 7:31-37 Amplified Bible says, "Soon after this, Jesus, coming back from the region of Tyre, passed through Sidon on to the Sea of Galilee, through the region of Decapolis [the ten cities]. And they brought to Him a man who was deaf and had difficulty in speaking, and they begged Jesus to place His hand upon him. And taking him aside from the crowd [privately], He thrust His fingers into the man’s ears and spat and touched his tongue; And looking up to heaven, He sighed as He said, Ephphatha, which means, Be opened! And his ears were opened, his tongue was loosed, and he began to speak distinctly and as he should. And Jesus [in His own interest] admonished and ordered them sternly and expressly to tell no one; but the more He commanded them, the more zealously they proclaimed it. And they were overwhelmingly astonished, saying, He has done everything excellently (commendably and nobly)! He even makes the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak!"

Advocates favoring sterilization, abortion, infanticide, dangerous contraception, euthanasia and/or assisted-suicide as healthcare, good and/or Christlike are examples of people who are deaf and dumb to the Word of God. God does not want us to make bad choices. God wants us to choose life. Deuteronomy 30:19-20 Amplified Bible says, "I call heaven and earth to witness this day against you that I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live And may love the Lord your God, obey His voice, and cling to Him. For He is your life and the length of your days, that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to give to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob."

God has a promised land for every believer. Our promised land is a place for believers to grow spiritually, to excel in the qualities of God as we relate with Him and people.

Believers are not to help people make bad choices or to enable them to stay deaf and dumb. Galatians 6:1 Amplified Bible says, "Brethren, if any person is overtaken in misconduct or sin of any sort, you who are spiritual [who are responsive to and controlled by the Spirit] should set him right and restore and reinstate him, without any sense of superiority and with all gentleness, keeping an attentive eye on yourself, lest you should be tempted also."

Charles Benedict Davenport spent his adult life trying to create an excellent society by eliminating disabled, low-income and/or people not of certain European heritage through the "science" of eugenics. Davenport became a disciple of Francis Galton who coined the term eugenics and is a cousin of Evolutionist Charles Darwin who wrote the book On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favored Races.

In the early 1900s Davenport set up and maintained the Eugenics Record Office in Cold Spring Harbor, New York, with funding from Mary Harriman, the widow of railroad magnate Edward Henry Harriman, steel magnate Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller and others. The Eugenics Record Office became the leading American advocate for eugenics and spread abroad its message of "breeding better people" and eliminating the "unfit." To run daily operations, Harry Laughlin was hired at the Eugenics Record Office as its superintendent. Laughlin authored the "Model Sterilization Act" upon which most American states patterned their forced sterilization laws. Some foreign countries even patterned their forced sterilization laws after Laughlin's "Model Sterilization Act." Germany's "Law for the Prevention of Genetically Diseased Offspring" was patterned after Laughlin's "Model Sterilization Law." Laughlin's advocacy of sterilization for people he considered defective, "shiftless, ignorant, and worthless class of people" was admired by Nazi German scientists, educators and others. In 1936 Heidelberg University awarded Laughlin an honorary doctorate for his contributions to racial hygiene.

Davenport's and Laughlin's eugenic ideas like sterilizing people they felt were unfit, didn't die with them. Today in America sterilization is offered as "healthcare" and so are abortion, infanticide, dangerous contraception, and other means to prevent the existence of the same groups of people Davenport and Laughlin spent their adult lives trying to eliminate. 

The Bible books of Matthew, Mark, John and Luke record Jesus Christ telling people stories offering them a good, loving life now and forever in relationship with God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit and with people. Jesus Christ didn't kick people out of movie theaters or kill them in movie theaters. Lisa Carl has cerebral palsy and was kicked out of a movie theater in Tacoma, Washington. The theater owner said, "I don't want her in here, and I don't have to let her in." Robert Saylor had Down Syndrome and was killed because of mistreatment in a movie theater in Frederick, Maryland.

The color red is often associated with love and passion and is one of my favorite colors. Passionate lovers are sexy. Watch this speech http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mg9iVgCl1Z4 given by Gianna Jessen, who was born alive after an attempted saline abortion in a Planned Parenthood clinic in California. Jessen also has cerebral palsy. Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in the United States. For more about Planned Parenthood read this article http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/mar/26/the-abortion-industry/. California is thought to be the American state with the highest number of state-sponsored sterilizations performed on persons with disabilities and without disabilities.

Zechariah 4:10 New Living Translation Bible teaches us "Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin ..." Carl participated in the ceremony where US President George Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) into law in 1990 to stop discrimination against persons with disabilities. Absalom Jones preached his first Thanksgiving Day sermon in 1808 celebrating legislation signed that while it didn't end African American slavery did make the trans-Atlantic slave trade illegal. Jones' sermon urged people to set aside a day of public thanksgiving and became a tradition of "Thanksgiving Sermons." Many persons with disabilities, African Americans and other people are killed by abortion. The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act doesn't end all abortions, but it does protect the lives of unborn babies from age 20 weeks and beyond when girls and boys are able to feel the pain of being torn apart by abortion. On November 7, 2013, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) announced his sponsorship of the Senate version of the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which passed the U.S. House of Representatives in June 2013.

Harriet "Moses" Tubman was an African American who lived before and after African American slavery. Tubman also had a disability. She had seizures and uncontrollable sleeping spells as a result of a slave overseer throwing a brick at her head and fracturing her skill when she was a teenager.

Tubman was also a vigorous lover. Her first husband, John Tubman, a free African American who refused to help Harriet Tubman escape slavery and become free, died in 1867. In 1869 Harriet Tubman married Nelson Davis, a Union solider more than 20 years younger than herself.

After escaping slavery Tubman helped her sister, Mary Ann Bowley and Bowley's two children escape slavery. Eventually, Harriet Tubman helped free all 10 of her siblings and her parents, and she branched out as a conductor of the Underground Railroad who carried a gun and led hundreds of slaves in the South of the United States of America to freedom in the North and in Canada. Tubman even rescued babies out of slavery. She did not kill them though they may have been difficult to transport. During the American Civil War Tubman was a nurse, scout and spy.

It was risky for Harriet Tubman to go back to the South of the United States and help slaves obtain their freedom. She could have been returned to slavery, whipped, bitten by the dogs of slave catchers and/or subjected to other harm and even killed. It was risky for Harriet Tubman to join the Union war effort. People become disabled and even die in wars.

Harriet Tubman had friends. One of her friends was William Still, who was an abolitionist, author and advocate against the American Colonization Society which wanted to send free blacks back to Africa. Still wrote about Harriet Tubman, "She was a woman of no pretensions; indeed, a more ordinary specimen of humanity could hardly be found among the most unfortunate-looking farm hands of the South. Yet in point of courage, shrewdness, and disinterested exertions to rescue her fellowman, she was without equal." Abolitionist, teacher and writer Charlotte Forten wrote about Harriet Tubman, "We spent all our time at Harriet Tubman's. She is a wonderful woman--a real heroine." Charlotte Forten was also wonderful and came from a wonderful family of abolitionists and women's rights advocates. Forten's grandfather was James Forten. For more about the Forten family read my article "Big is Beautiful" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/02/big-is-beautiful.html. Harriet Tubman was also friends of William Seward, governor of New York, and Women's Rights Advocate Susan B. Anthony.

Being privileged to have friends in positions of power didn't prevent Harriet Tubman from practicing the love of God with a variety of people. After the American Civil War some of the people Harriet Tubman advocated for were children, the elderly, women and the disabled. James 2:8-11 Amplified Bible says, "If indeed you [really] fulfill the royal Law in accordance with the Scripture, You shall love your neighbor as [you love] yourself, you do well. But if you show servile regard (prejudice, favoritism) for people, you commit sin and are rebuked and convicted by the Law as violators and offenders. For whosoever keeps the Law [as a] whole but stumbles and offends in one [single instance] has become guilty of [breaking] all of it. For He Who said, You shall not commit adultery, also said, You shall not kill. If you do not commit adultery but do kill, you have become guilty of transgressing the [whole] Law."

Practice inclusion instead of isolation, generosity instead of greed, pure love instead of partiality. Jesus Christ did, does and always will. Jesus Christ has given Himself with the whole Godhead (Father and Holy Spirit) to empower Christians to do like Jesus.

Luke 14:12-14 Amplified Bible says, "Jesus also said to the man who had invited Him, When you give a dinner or a supper, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or your wealthy neighbors, lest perhaps they also invite you in return, and so you are paid back. But when you give a banquet or a reception, invite the poor, the disabled, the lame, and the blind. Then you will be blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied), because they have no way of repaying you, and you will be recompensed at the resurrection of the just (upright)."

God wants the best possible life for everyone now and eternally. Deuteronomy 28:13 Amplified Bible says, "And the Lord shall make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you this day and are watchful to do them."

God created us and preserves our life from fertilization through birth, youth, old age and beyond death for people who are African, European, Asian, Hispanic, other ethnicity, male, female, working all different kinds of assignments at all different kinds of hours and with different minds and abilities and with multiple mixtures of these characteristics. God created us to have a good relationship with Him and to be in relationships with people who are just right for us.

Good relationships are compatible with good business. An untapped, massive market exists in welcoming persons with autism and other different minds and bodies into restaurants, marriage and other good, enjoyable, beautiful things. When Rafael, who has autism, and I go to restaurants we don't usually see persons with autism, Down Syndrome, intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy and other disabilities. Increasing the wage of service providers to the disabled would help the disabled enjoy restaurants with wait staff. Proverbs 10:15 New Living Translation Bible says, "The wealth of the rich is their fortress; the poverty of the poor is their destruction." Deanna Copeland is a service provider for Andrea Hood and only makes $1,400.00 monthly. Read their story here http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/08/disability_rights_advocates_fa.html.

Davenport, Laughlin and other eugenicists advocated that the disabled, low-income and those not of certain European heritage should be segregated in mental health institutions; then to save taxpayers money, they should be sterilized and sent out to work low-income jobs for elites who could rape them, blame them for the rapes and threaten to send them back to mental health institutions.

Perhaps by defunding today's eugenic "healthcare" increased funding would be available to well pay Deanna Copeland and other like service providers to the disabled. "Americans may be surprised to learn that Planned Parenthood has plenty of money, and taxpayers are contributing a large part of it. In 2005-06 it took in nearly $1 billion and boasted a surplus of $55 million. More than one-third of its income — $305 million — came from government subsidies. Its president receives an annual compensation of almost $1 million;" Read more here: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/mar/26/the-abortion-industry/#ixzz2nfErcsQj.

Some people have more than eight fingers and two thumbs with which to eat food. Rafael was born with nine fingers. Bollywood Actor Hrithik Roshan has three thumbs.

We need to embrace the behavior of people who act differently. Rafael eats with his hands. People in Ethiopia and other cultures eat with their hands. Read my article "Food, Love and Marriage" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2012/07/food-love-and-marriage.html.

While God welcomes all people to marry Him in heaven, God does not call everyone to marriage on earth. Some people are designed to be single; others are designed to be married. Some people with disabilities God created to experience the joy of marital sex. Read my article "Sex and the Disabled" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2012/04/sex-and-disabled.html.

Sin has a spoiling effect on relationships. Once we receive a relationship with God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Ghost, God never lets go of us for all eternity. However, believers sometimes let go of God by sinning.

When our relationship is not right with God it is also not right with people. One type of sin is lying. The sin of lying is common to singles and married people. Many married people lie to people who are not their spouse to get sex. They also lie to their spouse and/or don't talk about sex and other subjects.

God is for loving, joyful, sex-filled marriages. God is for openness/nakedness. Genesis 2:24-25 Amplified Bible says, "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall become united and cleave to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked and were not embarrassed or ashamed in each other’s presence."

Parents with awesome, affectionate, romantic, sexually sublime marriages are well positioned to talk to their children about sex. When parents have little or no sexual relationship, talking to their children about sex may inspire their children to think, "What do you know?;" "You aren't having fun and sexual sinners seem to be having fun." These children may decide to pursue sex outside of marriage.

We live in times when schools, the media, Planned Parenthood and others cannot be relied upon to teach our children about sex. Many advocates exist who promote sex outside of marriage and adolescent autonomy from parents, family and the Christian faith.

Some adolescents, adults, singles and married people have chosen abortion to kill the new life of a boy or girl created during sex outside of marriage and inside of marriage.

Some unborn boys and some unborn girls survive attempted abortions. Baby Ana Rosa Rodriquez survived an attempted abortion, but had her arm sliced off during the attempted abortion. In this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXOM99fm1A8 Gospel Singer Fred Hammond talks about surviving an attempted abortion. Abortion caused Claire Culwell to be born with club feet and dislocated hips. She survived the attempted abortion, her twin did not. Culwell is adopted and learned about her past by finding her birth mother who sought an abortion when she was 13. Watch their story here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=571B4ZiIZ_Y. (Abortions are performed on girls nine and ten years old. Watch this video with Curtis Boyd, MD, who admits to doing these abortions, to doing late-term abortions and that abortion is taking life http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfWB7tcAdhw.)

Are you an abortion survivor? Share your story. Joyce Meyer writes in her book Joy redefined Loving Others, "It is impossible for you to be happy if you don't get your mind off yourself and start reaching out to help someone else."

Are you a survivor of rape and/or sterilization? Share your story. Elaine Riddick was forcibly sterilized by the state of North Carolina at age 14 after she became pregnant at age 13 as a result of rape, and gave birth to her only child, Tony Riddick. Watch this CNN interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzYQLHHCxq8 in which Elaine Riddick says about Tony Riddick, "Someone asked me a question the other day. How do we get along? Do I have certain feelings towards him as far as you know reminding me that he was a product of rape. No, that's my son, and I love him very much, and he's a special gift from God. That's how I look at it."

Jesus reaches out to people. Jesus even reaches out to young children who are not wanted, planned or possessing a perfect physique. Yet some seek genetic testing to kill the disabled. Did you know that 67 percent of babies with Down Syndrome are aborted? Read this article http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/24/67-of-babies-with-down-syndrome-die-in-abortions-what-else-should-you-know/ to learn more about people with Down Syndrome. A doctor suggested Andrea Bocelli's mom have an abortion because her son might have a disability. She didn't follow his advice. 1 Timothy 5:25 Amplified Bible says, "So also, good deeds are evident and conspicuous, and even when they are not, they cannot remain hidden [indefinitely]." Andrea Bocelli, who is the biggest selling Classical musician in history, blind and a father, says he is glad to be alive; and he shares his story in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QfKCGTfn3o&feature=youtu.be. Do you have a good deed to share?

God wants us to manage our sexuality and every area of our life with love. Philippians 1:8-10 Amplified Bible says, "For God is my witness how I long for and pursue you all with love, in the tender mercy of Christ Jesus [Himself]! And this I pray: that your love may abound yet more and more and extend to its fullest development in knowledge and all keen insight [that your love may display itself in greater depth of acquaintance and more comprehensive discernment], So that you may surely learn to sense what is vital, and approve and prize what is excellent and of real value [recognizing the highest and the best, and distinguishing the moral differences], and that you may be untainted and pure and unerring and blameless [so that with hearts sincere and certain and unsullied, you may approach] the day of Christ [not stumbling nor causing others to stumble]."

While God does not always like what we do with the human physique, God likes the human physique. God also designed for parents to enjoy the sexual relations that may lead to starting a new human life. In Song of Songs/Song of Solomon 7:11 New Living Translation Bible a wife/lover says to her husband/lover, "Come, my love, let us go out to the fields and spend the night among the wildflowers." How wonderful to come to life through married parents making love in the outdoors! Or perhaps your mother laid on the beach with her legs and feet extended up as her husband lay across her creating fantastic friction when you were conceived? Risking a sandy butt isn't for everyone. Some spouses like to release love by lying on their sides merging their vagina and penis in a way that makes the head available for kissing feet, hands and other body parts and hands available to massage the butt and other places. Do you hug naked while riding your husband? The bed is probably considered the best place or at least the most convenient place for lovemaking. A lion-hearted husband can lay back on the edge of the bed making a chair with his butt and legs up for his lioness wife to sit on and explore the possibilities of mutual penis/vaginal pleasure; she can start the seat of pleasure facing her husband; then she can switch it and face away. How many orgasms have you had in a marital lovemaking session? The bathroom is probably a more popular place for lovemaking than people admit. Read my article "How Gross Can Be Good" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2012/04/gross-can-be-good.html. Smoking is prohibited in airplane bathrooms. Take flight on earth. A wife can position her legs for flight, and her husband can board her vagina. Do you have a conception feasting love story to share? Write to:

Even when married couples are past the age of reproduction, God designed for them to enjoy sex. Love licks (Japanese for oral sex,) sexual intercourse and other lovemaking are better than cannibalism, assisted suicide or euthanasia. Read my articles "An Appetizer, the Main Dish or Among a Smorgasbord of Love Play" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/03/an-appetizer-main-dish-or-among.html and "Awesome Aging" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/02/awesome-aging.html.

Because God loves us, God does not will for us to have partner sex outside of marriage. Because God loves us, God wills for us to enjoy sex inside of marriage. God does not want any of us to be afraid of sexuality and try to stomp it out. God created sexuality. What God creates is good, beautiful and excellent provided we participate in God's creation according to His design. God designed sex to bond marital couples. Sometimes sex leads to reproduction. Read my article "Fearless Sex" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/01/fearless-sex.html.

Sexual sin doesn't have to stop us from enjoying fearless sex. Have you participated in killing an unborn boy or an unborn girl? If we are in relationship with God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit, abortion and any other sin does not separate us from the love of God. Stop sinning, and shake off shame and condemnation. Acts 3:19-20 Amplified Bible says, "So repent (change your mind and purpose); turn around and return [to God], that your sins may be erased (blotted out, wiped clean), that times of refreshing (of recovering from the effects of heat, of reviving with fresh air) may come from the presence of the Lord; And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah), Who before was designated and appointed for you—even Jesus."

Enjoy friendships with the opposite sex and the same sex, and if marriage is God's will for you, also enjoy sex with your spouse. John 10:10 Amplified Bible says, "The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)." Refuse to allow shame and condemnation to steal the joy and the feast of sex with your spouse.

Christopher Yuan says he was strangled by a boyfriend/lover in his book Out Of A Far Country A gay son's journey to God. A broken mother's search for hope., and he continued to stay in the relationship for a while. How did he escape sexual slavery? "I didn't leave homosexuality because I thought it was so bad...I left homosexuality because I found something better, and His name is Jesus," Yuan says in this speech http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEDG2xxDGAg. Christopher Yuan's story is not I'm sorry I got caught in my sins, wish to keep on sinning while God wipes out the consequences of my choices, but a story of real change and love of God and people. Proverbs 28:13 Complete Jewish Bible says, "He who conceals his sins will not succeed; he who confesses and abandons them will gain mercy." People who have HIV or AIDS are not exempt from the mercy and love of God. Have you come out of sexual slavery?

Jesus Christ started His earthly life with the union of Mary's egg and divine sperm. Many people will celebrate Jesus Christ's birth on December 25. Instead of celebrating life, Christopher Yuan was in jail in December 1998 after drug enforcement agents and police found 9.1 tons of illegal drugs in his Atlanta, Georgia, apartment along with evidence that he had been selling illegal drugs. Christopher Yuan was also facing a death threat in December 1998 when a nurse informed him that he was HIV positive. Christopher Yuan talks about having HIV, illegal drug use and selling to individuals and dealers in more than 11 states, God, sexuality and his former multiple anonymous gay sex encounters in this speech http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDbyhoRuw54.

Christopher Yuan cooperated with Jesus Christ doing a root canal to remove his distorted sexuality. It was rough, but necessary to reveal a landscape filled with Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ celebrates loving sexuality. Yuan has regular checkups with Jesus Christ. Some hurt. Most are enjoyable. Yuan talks about surgery and checkups in his book Out Of A Far Country A gay son's journey to God. A broken mother's search for hope.

Christopher Yuan went to dental school and is currently a cool, confident, compassionate, committed single. I pray that if he gets married, he will be committed to a Christian wife and to good fillings of the marital vaginal kind.

The Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 New Living Translation Bible, "Never stop praying," and in 1 Timothy 2:1-6 Amplified Bible, "First of all, then, I admonish and urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men, For kings and all who are in positions of authority or high responsibility, that [outwardly] we may pass a quiet and undisturbed life [and inwardly] a peaceable one in all godliness and reverence and seriousness in every way. For such [praying] is good and right, and [it is] pleasing and acceptable to God our Savior, Who wishes all men to be saved and [increasingly] to perceive and recognize and discern and know precisely and correctly the [divine] Truth. For there [is only] one God, and [only] one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, Who gave Himself as a ransom for all [people, a fact that was] attested to at the right and proper time."

A Latino proverb says, "Una buena accion es la mejor oracion" (A good deed is the best prayer.") Do you vote? Watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7edX9l2c08 about voting, lynching and living in which one of the questions Reverend Johnny Hunter asks is, "... how many of these politicians who know that abortion is mass murder tolerate it because they think the right people are being murdered?"

Sarah J. Garnet, the eldest of eleven children, the wife of a minister named Henry H. Garnet and the first African American woman to be appointed principal in the New York City public school system, believed so strongly in voting that she was also a founder of one of Brooklyn New York's first equal rights organization, called the Equal Suffrage League.

Sarah J. Garnet was also a friend of Ida B. Wells who was friends with black men who owned a grocery store in Memphis, Tennessee. Wells' friends were lynched, and she wrote about their deaths in her newspaper noting that they were killed because their grocery store was competitive with a white owned store. A few months later her newspaper office was sacked. The year was 1892, and a record number of lynchings of African Americans happened. The lynchings and the ruin of her newspaper office did not stop Wells from speaking out against racially-motivated evil.

Evil acts are not to stop Christians from doing good deeds. 1 Corinthians 15:58 Amplified Bible says, "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm (steadfast), immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord [always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the Lord], knowing and being continually aware that your labor in the Lord is not futile [it is never wasted or to no purpose]."

Sarah J. Garnet along with other women raised money to help replace the destroyed presses of Ida B. Wells. Helping people is holy and loving. Philippians 4:5 Amplified Bible says, "Let all men know and perceive and recognize your unselfishness (your considerateness, your forbearing spirit). The Lord is near [He is coming soon]." 1 John 3:16-18 Amplified Bible says, "By this we come to know (progressively to recognize, to perceive, to understand) the [essential] love: that He laid down His [own] life for us; and we ought to lay [our] lives down for [those who are our] brothers [in Him]. But if anyone has this world’s goods (resources for sustaining life) and sees his brother and fellow believer in need, yet closes his heart of compassion against him, how can the love of God live and remain in him? Little children, let us not love [merely] in theory or in speech but in deed and in truth (in practice and in sincerity)."

Ida B. Wells wrote the book Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All Its Phases in 1892. She would write other books, marry Ferdinand/Frederick Barnett and have four children with Barnett named Charles, Herman, Ida and Alfreda. Read more about Ida B. Wells in my article "All Mothers Work" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/05/all-mothers-work.html.

Born a slave in Mississippi, Ida B. Wells became free as many other African Americans did after the Civil War. 1865 was an eventful year. Abraham Lincoln signed the 13th Amendment to the US constitution outlawing slavery throughout the United States of America; Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House, Virginia; less than 50 miles from where Lee surrendered to Grant, Albert Priddy was born; The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) was formed in Pulaski, Tennessee, by six middle-class Confederate veterans. Albert Priddy would become a doctor, a superintendent of the Virginia Colony for Epileptics and Feeble-Minded, an advocate of eugenics and sterilization and the original defendant in the US Supreme Court case Buck v. Priddy that became Buck v. Bell. John Bell replaced Priddy who died of Hodgkin's disease which is a type of cancer. Francis Galton coined the term eugenics and is a cousin of Evolutionist Charles Darwin who wrote the book On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favored Races. Eugenics is a "science" to exterminate the disabled, low-income and/or people not of certain European heritage by sterilization, abortion, infanticide, dangerous contraception and other ways to eliminate their reproduction.

Just because African American slavery has ended doesn't mean that the slave-master mindset is dead. Sadly it has survived, is very sick and tries to be slick masquerading as things like "healthcare." Watch these videos with Elaine Riddick and Freda McKissic Bush, MD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFJNX5bHYVI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60C87TaxpQQ.

What is the biggest killer of African Americans? It's not heart disease, cancer, diabetes, AIDS or violent crime. Watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20KPGyOfBhk and read my article "Thoughts About Abortion" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/01/thoughts-about-abortion.html.

America has a long history of maiming and killing African Americans, persons with disabilities and others. The slave-master mindset showed up in 1973 when the US Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade legalized abortion and state-sponsored sterilization was in the American court system in the case Relf v. Weinberger. "National numbers from the Alan Guttmacher Institute and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reveal that the overwhelming majority of abortion clinics are located in metropolitan areas, and some analysts have placed the percentage in minority neighborhoods at greater than 75 percent. Data from the CDC show that while white women get the majority of abortions (56 percent), black women, at only 13 percent of the population, are getting roughly 36 percent of the abortions. On average, 432,000 black babies are aborted annually. According to sociologist Anne Hendershott, black women are more likely than whites to get late-term abortions, which are riskier. Perhaps abortion is more common in minority communities because, similar to alcohol and tobacco, it is more aggressively marketed there;" read more here: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/mar/26/the-abortion-industry/#ixzz2nfQ6FlB1. Mrs. Katie Relf was the wife of a man who was disabled. The couple had six children including 12-year-old Mary Alice Relf, who was diagnosed as mentally retarded and had no right hand, and 14-year-old Minnie Lee Relf. The family survived on welfare payments and lived in government-subsidized housing. Mrs. Relf was illiterate and signed an "X" on a government form unknowingly giving Alabama state permission to sterilize Mary Alice Relf and Minnie Lee Relf. When Relf found out that her family had been subjected to forced sterilizations she participated in a class-action lawsuit. Investigations during the lawsuit revealed that federal funds had been used to sterilize between 100,000 and 150,000 people. Also mostly women were being threatened with the loss of welfare benefits unless they consented to being sterilized. Some pregnant women were told that their baby would not be delivered unless they agreed to be sterilized during childbirth. The outcome of Relf v. Weinberger was to continue the slave-master mindset. Federal funding of sterilization continued with "improved" methods of securing "informed consent" to be sterilized, and the 1927 US Supreme Court decision Buck v. Bell remained in place. US Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. wrote in the Buck v. Bell case upholding American state-sponsored sterilization, "It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes.... Three generations of imbeciles are enough.".

Many people who have the slave-master mindset say that abortion and sterilization are helpful. Wallace Kuralt said he was helping disabled, low-income and/or people not of certain European heritage by forcibly sterilizing them. The Charlotte Observer reports that Kuralt was a welfare director in North Carolina from 1945 to 1972 who said in a 1970 interview that “we’ve pursued sterilization of the inadequate parents more actively than any place in the world... Our activities (in birth control and sterilization) have caused us to give aid to less than 50 percent of the families we would have had to give aid to if it were not for these activities;” read more here: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2013/08/08/4223519/alice-mae-jackson-and-eugenics.html#.UjHJM3_mViM#storylink=cpy. In a July 2009 New York Times Magazine interview US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said, "Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of. So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion."

Margaret Sanger of the American Birth Control League which became Planned Parenthood also had the slave-master mindset. Sanger, who received some funding from Clarence Gamble, an heir of the Procter and Gamble fortune who had the slave-master mindset, says in this interview with Mike Wallace https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsrOPDdbTzM, "I think the greatest sin in the world is bringing children into the world that have a disease from their parents, that have no chance in the world to be a human being practically, delinquents, prisoners, all sort of things, just marked when they are born. That to me is the greatest sin that people can commit."

Margaret Sanger's thinking is against the human race and in favor of abortion, sterilization, infanticide and "family planning" targeted toward the disabled, low-income persons and those not of certain European heritage. For Margaret Sanger, who spoke at KKK rallies, Planned Parenthood and their likes it never was and is still not about reproductive rights or reproductive health. It's always been about reproductive racism, sexism, elitism, disability discrimination, etc. Watch this Maafa 21 video http://maafa21.com/, and read this fact sheet by The Rebecca Project for Human Rights http://www.rebeccaproject.org/images/stories/Fact%20Sheets/depo-provera-deadly-reproductive-violence-rebecca-project-for-human-rights-2013.pdf; "Over the past two years, the Rebecca Project has investigated, documented and interviewed scores of women and girls, deducing that birth control providers serving low-income women and girls such as Planned-Parenthood characteristically decline to inform patients about the FDA's warnings concerning Depo Provera. However, health providers are mandated ethically to inform women of harm and to post FDA Depo Provera Black-Box warnings on websites -- instead of misleading and misinforming families about the drug's dangerous side effects;" these FDA warnings include women may lose significant bone mineral density that is not fully reversible, blood clots, stroke, bleeding irregularities, weight gain, ectopic pregnancy, delayed return to fertility and sterilization; other research has found that Depo Provera use causes a double risk of breast cancer and a women's increased susceptibility to HIV/AIDS and all other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

Watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk1f95sDna0 in which persecution of immigrants is discussed and an advocate with the Rebecca Project talks about the side effects of Depo Provera, US government efforts to sterilize 1/4 of the world's women of color and other issues. Do you have an abortion, sterilization, infanticide, Depo Provera, Norplant or other "family planning" experience to share?

No matter what color we are we can be enslaved by the slave-master mindset. God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit calls people to freedom. 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 Amplified Bible says, "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom). And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit."

Free people are faithful to research ways to stay out of slavery and to fight for freedom. Proverbs 18:15 Amplified Bible says, "The mind of the prudent is ever getting knowledge, and the ear of the wise is ever seeking (inquiring for and craving) knowledge."

Hiram Rhoades (Rhodes) Revels was an African Methodist Episcopal Church minister who was an educator. After Revels was the first African American to serve in the US Senate completing the term vacated by Confederate President Jefferson, Revels became the first president of Alcorn College for Negros. Like Blanche Kelso Bruce, the first African American elected to the US Senate who served the full six-year term, Revels represented Mississippi and was a member of the Republican Party which was founded to stop the spread of African American slavery.

Dr. Alveda King, a niece of Christian Minister and Civil Rights Activist Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and co-editor with Dr. LaVerne Tolbert of the book Life At All Costs An Anthology Of Voices From 21st Century Black Prolife Leaders, has African, Native American and European ancestors. She is also a Christian who talks about her heritage, the mix of heritage Americans possess, and her "family planning" experience in this Civil Rights and the Pro-Life Movement speech given at Villanova University https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zj4JAbHvw9U.

Alveda King's grandfather had a dream about her before she was born, and he encouraged her mother not to abort her. His dream came true. Alveda King is alive today and full of life. Women and girls are hurt by abortion. Dr. Alveda King speaks regularly about the harm abortion has done to her and others. King had a cervical cerclage, which is a surgery to stitch a cervix, so that it stays closed and able to hold pregnancy. Abortion weakens the cervix. Women who have had abortions are more likely to miscarry. Some women, like Tegra Little, are not able to have children after an abortion.

Men and boys are hurt by abortion too. Read my article "Do Fathers Have a Say in Abortion and Frozen Embryos?" http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/01/do-fathers-have-say-in-abortion-and.html.

Women, girls, men and boys are also hurt by sterilization. North Carolina didn't have a dialogue with Elaine Riddick that clearly informed her of the state's intention of sterilizing her. Instead of receiving healthcare Elaine Riddick was forcibly sterilized by the state of North Carolina nine months after she was raped by a neighbor and was giving birth via a C-section to her son conceived through rape. Watch this CNN interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzYQLHHCxq8 in which Elaine Riddick says about her state-sponsored sterilization, "Later on because of my body was traumatized so severely I ended up having to have a total hysterectomy. But prior to that before I had the hysterectomy most of my life was I had to live in a whole lot of pain, hemorrhaging. When I got my monthly cycle ... it felt like someone had taken a knife and was gutting me .... My menstrual cycle ... wasn't normal because it lasted ... 12 to 15 days at a time, and this happened from the time ... after I had my son from the time I was 14 until I got into my 40s when I eventually did have to have a total hysterectomy."

Riddick says about the psychological impact of her forced sterilization, "You will never recover from this because it's always there. Every time you wake up when you go to sleep it's there. You think about how you've been treated in this country here. You think about--well me myself I had been so severely damaged until I was on Prozac, Serentil and Haldol, and that's how I coped. I had to wean myself off these things in order for me to cope, and I have to cope, and I have to go on."

Sometimes people consider physical health as more important than mental health. The reality is that they both need our regular attention, and failing to take good care of ourselves physically and mentally is dangerous and even deadly. Read my article "Heart Disease, Depression and Christianity" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/02/heart-disease-depression-and.html.

Sometimes people consider animals of little value, but that's not how God teaches us to view and to treat animals. Proverbs 12:10 New Living Translation Bible says, "The godly care for their animals, but the wicked are always cruel." Proverbs 12:6 New Living Translation Bible says, "The words of the wicked are like a murderous ambush, but the words of the godly save lives." Have you spoken out against sterilizing cats and/or other animals? Have you spoken out against euthanizing cats and/or other animals?

Recently, I tried to adopt a cat from a shelter and was told that the cat couldn't be adopted without him first being sterilized. Have you had a similar experience?

Are you a victim of American state-sponsored sterilization? A Persian proverb says, "Opportunity should be grabbed." In North Carolina $10 million is to be split equally among people sterilized through the North Carolina Eugenics Board.

A Latino proverb says, "No hay tiempo como el presente" (There is no time like the present.") Compensation claims must be filed by June 30, 2014, for victims to receive a one-time payment to be distributed June 30, 2015.

North Carolina had a eugenics board from the 1930s through the 1970s through which social workers, family and others arranged for people to be sterilized. If you think you are one of the victims, you can ask the North Carolina Justice for Sterilization Victims Foundation to check the North Carolina Eugenic Board's records by completing and mailing them this form: http://www.sterilizationvictims.nc.gov/documents/FirstPartyVerificationform.pdf. Sometimes people are not able to speak up for themselves and need advocates. If you are not a victim, but are an advocate for a victim, you can ask the North Carolina Justice for Sterilization Victims Foundation to check the North Carolina Eugenic Board's records by completing and mailing them this form with required attachments: http://www.sterilizationvictims.nc.gov/documents/ThirdPartyVerificationform.pdf. These forms are verification and not a guarantee of compensation.

A Korean proverb says, "The fortunate man has bread and friends." If you have filed a North Carolina verification form, please share your experience and inspire others.

Leilani Muir won $1 million in Canadian currency after filing a class-action lawsuit against the Alberta Canadian government for her forced sterilization. Alberta had passed a Sexual Sterilization Act in 1928 following the Buck v. Bell case in the United States of America. Have you obtained money as a result of a lawsuit related to sterilization, abortion, infanticide or dangerous contraception?

Chinese Americans have been identified with African American slavery and segregation. In the 1927 US Supreme Court decision Gong Lum v. Rice, the court ruled that Chinese American citizens are colored and as a consequence are restricted to segregated schools. Oliver W. Holmes, Jr., was an associate justice at the time. Also in 1927 US Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. wrote in the Buck v. Bell case upholding American state-sponsored sterilization, "It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes.... Three generations of imbeciles are enough."

In this interview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doiWP2SQx2E Chen Guangcheng, who is blind, the husband of Yuan Weijing and the father of Chen Kerui and Chen Kesi, talks about his nephew, Chen Kegui who is the husband of Liu Fang and father of a young son named Chen Fubin, and, he notes that Chen Kegui was put in the same jail shortly after Chen Guangcheng escaped China that Chinese authorities put Chen Guangcheng in after he filed a 2005 class-action lawsuit against forced abortion and forced sterilization. Chen Guangcheng also encourages people to blog in this interview.

Chen Guangcheng wrote "The Next Human Rights Revolution" in Chinese as Distinguished Senior Fellow in Human Rights at the Witherspoon Institute on October 17, 2013, translated by Jessica Zheng http://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2013/10/11049/, "I would like to call on the American people to take actions to urge the officials and congressmen you voted into office to apply all resources and means to help terminate China’s evil one-child policy and forced abortions. Forcing women to abort their babies is a violation of universal human rights. It tramples on women’s rights, the right of free choice, and also the sacred right of life. This wicked policy results in a severe imbalance in gender ratio and a rapidly aging population."

Pastor Bob Fu is president of China Aid Association and author of the book God's Double Agent The True Story of a Chinese Christian's Fight for Freedom in which one of the subjects Bob Fu writes about is how he, his wife, Heidi Fu, and their first child, Daniel Fu, escaped a forced-abortion tragedy that loomed over the family because Heidi Fu was pregnant without a pregnancy permission card required by China's one-child policy. Most people do not escape China's one-child policy that includes forced abortions and forced sterilizations. Fu writes in God's Double Agent The True Story of a Chinese Christian's Fight for Freedom, "Chinese political structure--from the national level all the way down to the village level--has family planning commissions with almost unlimited power. If a woman manages to hide her illegal pregnancy and has an "extra child," the commission can make her pay fines worth three to five times the family's income, confiscate property, or throw her in prison. (China collects more than ten billion US dollars in "family planning," fines every year.) But if the woman is unable to hide her illegal pregnancy, officials will inject her with a poison regardless of how far along she is. Every day, thirty thousand women are forced to have abortions, no doubt contributing to Chinese women's astronomical suicide rates. China boasts that it has successfully prevented four hundred million children from being born, more than the entire population of the United States."

A woman subjected to a forced abortion at nine months of pregnancy shares her story here http://www.womensrightswithoutfrontiers.org/blog/?p=1327. This article includes a letter from a woman subjected to a forced abortion and a forced sterilization http://www.chinaaid.org/2012/07/sister-guo-yanling-christian-in-guangxi.html; also "Her family home was forcibly demolished, all their assets were stolen, and she was placed under administrative detention."

China has implemented a new anti-rumor law. Read here http://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/access-09102013102331.html for more information about the new anti-rumor law which has impacted Chen Guangfu, Chen Guangcheng's eldest brother, and others. Don't be intimidated. Chen Guangcheng isn't. He's still speaking out for human rights. New York University rejected Chen Guangcheng. Now he's affiliated with the Witherspoon Institute, the Catholic University of America and the Lantos Foundation for Human Rights and Justice which also with individuals and with groups like http://www.savesaeed.org is working to free Pastor Saeed Abedini who is imprisoned in Evin prison in Iran because of his Christian faith and works. Ephesians 4:14-15 Amplified Bible says, "So then, we may no longer be children, tossed [like ships] to and fro between chance gusts of teaching and wavering with every changing wind of doctrine, [the prey of] the cunning and cleverness of unscrupulous men, [gamblers engaged] in every shifting form of trickery in inventing errors to mislead. Rather, let our lives lovingly express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly]. Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him Who is the Head, [even] Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)."

Chen Guangcheng is a friend of Desmond Tutu, Archbishop Emeritus of Cape Town, South Africa. Tutu is also an honorary chair of Freedom Now which is providing legal counsel to Chen Guangcheng's family. Jared Genser, founder of Freedom Now, wrote the following three suggestions on how to help Chinese dissidents in this article http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/jared-genser-the-us-needs-a-new-strategy-in-addressing-chinas-human-rights/2013/10/27/58246600-34ef-11e3-8a0e-4e2cf80831fc_story.html, "First, the clear violation of China’s commitments and its lies must be directly and publicly confronted. Failure to squarely address the government’s impunity only emboldens those in the Chinese government who interpret quiet diplomacy and private protestations as a license to oppress. It was disheartening, for example, when President Obama failed to sign a letter to incoming Chinese President Xi Jinping last December from 134 Nobel laureates pressing for Liu Xiaobo’s release. The White House has never publicly called for Liu Xia to be released from her extralegal house arrest. This signals to Beijing that there will be no real price for failing to respond to private requests for action on these cases.

Second, in instances in which Chinese officials refuse to engage as honest actors, it is incumbent upon the U.S. administration to meet with Chinese dissidents and their families who can speak with unique authority about the persecution they continue to face in China. Meetings with President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry, in particular, make clear that the United States views human rights as a central component of its foreign policy.

Finally, each high-level meeting with Chinese officials should include a substantive discussion of human rights issues relevant to the subject of the meeting. International standards on political, social, economic, environmental and cultural rights inform nearly all aspects of modern life. Prioritizing a bilateral relationship that consistently emphasizes fundamental freedoms would allow the administration to articulate a coherent strategy for addressing human rights while fostering the conditions for a real dialogue."

In South Africa Desmond Tutu headed the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that exposed many of the evils done under apartheid, so that evil may be stopped and good promoted. North Carolina is not the only American state that did state-sponsored sterilizations. In 1907 Indiana became the first US state to legalize state-sponsored sterilizations. California is believed to be the state with the largest number of state-sponsored sterilizations, but not all state records have been released. John Harvey Kellogg, who invented Corn Flakes breakfast cereal with his brother, also founded the Race Betterment Foundation which was active in Michigan, another state that had state-sponsored sterilizations. Henry Herbert Goddard, the head of research at the Training School for Feeble-minded Girls and Boys at Vineland, New Jersey, used mental tests to find the feeble-minded. The original purpose of American IQ testing was to identify then institutionalize and sterilize the fecund, feeble-minded, low-income female. Even in states without state-sponsored sterilization laws, forced sterilizations were being done as alleged "pelvic diseases" and part of appendectomies. Colorado didn't have a forced sterilization law, but sterilizations were being widely done in mental health institutions.

Cindy Trimm says in her book Commanding Your Morning, "Think big and think detailed!.... Become a visionary--be creative. Take the limits off your mind! Think beyond where you are.... Ask God to enlarge your capacity for thinking, to take the limits off." Other American states besides North Carolina and other nations need to apologize to, financially compensate victims and erase all forms of "family planning" evil.

The door to evil has not been closed. US Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., wrote in the 1927 Buck v. Bell case upholding American state-sponsored sterilization, "It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes.... Three generations of imbeciles are enough." When asked how Virginia would benefit by sterilizing Carrie Buck, Dr. Joseph DeJarnette said, "You are raising the standard of intelligence in the state" and many prostitutes come to his mental health institution "having had venereal diseases and having had children, and brother, worse than all, white women came there having negro children" (Paul A. Lombardo, Three Generations No Imbeciles.) Carrie Buck was a white woman who was raped by the white nephew of her foster parents. Buck did not have venereal disease nor was she a prostitute. Later in life Carrie Buck was married for decades. Carrie Buck and Norma McCorvey (the Jane Roe in Roe v. Wade) were both low-income, one group of people eugenics tries to eliminate. Dr. DeJarnette named himself  "Sterilization DeJarnette" and was an activist for Virginia forced sterilizations. Like Roe v. Wade which legalized abortion in America Buck v. Bell has not been overturned. Norma McCorvey writes in her book Won by Love Jane Roe of Roe V. Wade, Speaks Out For The Unborn As She Shares Her New Conviction For Life, "The affidavit did not happen the way I said it did, pure and simple. I lied! Sarah Weddington and Linda Coffee needed an extreme case to make their client look pitiable. Rape seemed to be the ticket. What made rape even worse? A gang rape!"

Some places are not prosecuting known killers and putting them in jail. Cristin Gilbert, a young woman who had Down Syndrome and was raped, was also killed along with her child by abortionist Leroy Carhart, who also killed Jennifer Morbelli, a teacher, and her daughter, Madison Leigh, who had a disability. Leroy Carhart is not in jail. He is still performing abortions. Douglas Karpen has killed Denise Montoya and babies born alive after attempted abortions (infanticide). He's not in jail either. Watch these former Karpen abortion clinic employees talk about working with Karpen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fhyJItGPko.

Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! See you in 2014!

Truth And Reconciliation Needed, Part 27 (Killer Whale)

Charles Benedict Davenport spent his adult life trying to create an excellent society by eliminating disabled, low-income and/or people not of certain European heritage through the "science" of eugenics. Davenport became a disciple of Francis Galton who coined the term eugenics and is a cousin of Evolutionist Charles Darwin who wrote the book On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favored Races.

Davenport was raised by a Christian mother and father but forgot Biblical lessons like Matthew 22:37 through 40 and the book of Jonah. Matthew 22:37-40 Amplified Bible says, "And He replied to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (intellect). This is the great (most important, principal) and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as [you do] yourself. These two commandments sum up and upon them depend all the Law and the Prophets." God told the prophet Jonah the way to go to show people the love of God. Jonah went the opposite way. Davenport did like Jonah.

In the early 1900s Davenport set up and maintained the Eugenics Record Office in Cold Harbor, New York with funding from Mary Harriman, the widow of railroad magnate Edward Henry Harriman, steel magnate Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller and others. The Eugenics Record Office became the leading American advocate for eugenics and spread abroad its message of breeding better people and eliminating the unfit.

God allowed Jonah to die in a whale's belly. Then God raised him from the dead and a changed/repentant Jonah followed the way of God delivering a message of God's love and salvation to nonbelievers. Charles Benedict Davenport never changed his unloving ways. He died from pneumonia acquired while examining a whale.

Davenport's eugenic ideas like sterilizing people he felt were unfit, didn't die with him. Today in America sterilization is offered as "healthcare" and so are abortion, infanticide and dangerous contraception to prevent the existence of the same groups of people Davenport spent his life trying to eliminate.  

The Bible books of Matthew, Mark, John and Luke record Jesus Christ telling people stories offering them a good, loving life now and forever in relationship with God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit and with people. Jesus Christ didn't kick people out of movie theaters or kill them in movie theaters. Lisa Carl has cerebral palsy and was kicked out of a movie theater in Tacoma, Washington. The theater owner said, "I don't want her in here, and I don't have to let her in." Robert Saylor had Down Syndrome and was killed because of mistreatment in a movie theater in Frederick, Maryland.

The color red is often associated with love and passion and is one of my favorite colors. Passionate lovers are sexy. Watch this speech http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mg9iVgCl1Z4 given by Gianna Jessen, who was born alive after an attempted saline abortion in a Planned Parenthood clinic in California. Jessen also has cerebral palsy. Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in the United States. For more about Planned Parenthood read this article http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/mar/26/the-abortion-industry/. California is thought to be the American state with the highest number of state-sponsored sterilizations performed on persons with disabilities and without disabilities.

Zechariah 4:10 New Living Translation Bible teaches us "Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin ..." Carl participated in the ceremony where US President George Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) into law in 1990 to stop discrimination against persons with disabilities. Absalom Jones preached his first Thanksgiving Day sermon in 1808 celebrating legislation signed that while it didn't end African American slavery did make the trans-Atlantic slave trade illegal. Jones' sermon urged people to set aside a day of public thanksgiving and became a tradition of "Thanksgiving Sermons." Many persons with disabilities, African Americans and other people are killed by abortion. The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act doesn't end all abortions, but it does protect the lives of unborn babies from age 20 weeks and beyond when girls and boys are able to feel the pain of being torn apart by abortion. On November 7, 2013, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) announced his sponsorship of the Senate version of the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which passed the U.S. House of Representatives in June 2013.

Harriet "Moses" Tubman was an African American who lived before and after African American slavery. Tubman also had a disability. She had seizures and uncontrollable sleeping spells as a result of a slave overseer throwing a brick at her head and fracturing her skill when she was a teenager.

Tubman was also a vigorous lover. Her first husband, John Tubman, a free African American who refused to help Harriet Tubman escape slavery and become free, died in 1867. In 1869 Harriet Tubman married Nelson Davis, a Union solider more than 20 years younger than herself.

After escaping slavery Tubman helped her sister, Mary Ann Bowley and Bowley's two children escape slavery. Eventually, Harriet Tubman helped free all 10 of her siblings and her parents, and she branched out as a conductor of the Underground Railroad who carried a gun and led hundreds of slaves in the South of the United States of America to freedom in the North and in Canada. Tubman even rescued babies out of slavery. She did not kill them though they may have been difficult to transport. During the American Civil War Tubman was a nurse, scout and spy.

It was risky for Harriet Tubman to go back to the South of the United States and help slaves obtain their freedom. She could have been returned to slavery, whipped, bitten by the dogs of slave catchers and/or subjected to other harm and even killed. It was risky for Harriet Tubman to join the Union war effort. People become disabled and even die in wars.

Harriet Tubman had friends. One of her friends was William Still, who was an abolitionist, author and advocate against the American Colonization Society which wanted to send free blacks back to Africa. Still wrote about Harriet Tubman, "She was a woman of no pretensions; indeed, a more ordinary specimen of humanity could hardly be found among the most unfortunate-looking farm hands of the South. Yet in point of courage, shrewdness, and disinterested exertions to rescue her fellowman, she was without equal." Abolitionist, teacher and writer Charlotte Forten wrote about Harriet Tubman, "We spent all our time at Harriet Tubman's. She is a wonderful woman--a real heroine." Charlotte Forten was also wonderful and came from a wonderful family of abolitionists and women's rights advocates. Forten's grandfather was James Forten. For more about the Forten family read my article "Big is Beautiful" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/02/big-is-beautiful.html. Harriet Tubman was also friends of William Seward, governor of New York, and Women's Rights Advocate Susan B. Anthony.

Being privileged to have friends in positions of power didn't prevent Harriet Tubman from practicing the love of God with a variety of people. After the American Civil War some of the people Harriet Tubman advocated for were children, the elderly, women and the disabled. James 2:8-11 Amplified Bible says, "If indeed you [really] fulfill the royal Law in accordance with the Scripture, You shall love your neighbor as [you love] yourself, you do well. But if you show servile regard (prejudice, favoritism) for people, you commit sin and are rebuked and convicted by the Law as violators and offenders. For whosoever keeps the Law [as a] whole but stumbles and offends in one [single instance] has become guilty of [breaking] all of it. For He Who said, You shall not commit adultery, also said, You shall not kill. If you do not commit adultery but do kill, you have become guilty of transgressing the [whole] Law."

Practice inclusion instead of isolation, generosity instead of greed, pure love instead of partiality. Jesus Christ did, does and always will. Jesus Christ has given Himself with the whole Godhead (Father and Holy Spirit) to empower Christians to do like Jesus.

Luke 14:12-14 Amplified Bible says, "Jesus also said to the man who had invited Him, When you give a dinner or a supper, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or your wealthy neighbors, lest perhaps they also invite you in return, and so you are paid back. But when you give a banquet or a reception, invite the poor, the disabled, the lame, and the blind. Then you will be blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied), because they have no way of repaying you, and you will be recompensed at the resurrection of the just (upright)."

God wants the best possible life for everyone now and eternally. Deuteronomy 28:13 Amplified Bible says, "And the Lord shall make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you this day and are watchful to do them."

God created us and preserves our life from fertilization through birth, youth, old age and beyond death for people who are African, European, Asian, Hispanic, male, female, working all different kinds of assignments at all different kinds of hours and with different minds and abilities and with multiple mixtures of these characteristics. God created us to have a good relationship with Him and to be in relationships with people who are just right for us.

Good relationships are compatible with good business. An untapped, massive market exists in welcoming persons with autism and other different minds and bodies into restaurants, marriage and other good, enjoyable, beautiful things. When Rafael, who has autism, and I go to restaurants we don't usually see persons with autism, Down Syndrome, intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy and other disabilities. Increasing the wage of service providers to the disabled would help the disabled enjoy restaurants with wait staff. Proverbs 10:15 New Living Translation Bible says, "The wealth of the rich is their fortress; the poverty of the poor is their destruction." Deanna Copeland is a service provider for Andrea Hood and only makes $1,400.00 monthly. Read their story here http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/08/disability_rights_advocates_fa.html.

Some people have more than eight fingers and two thumbs with which to eat food. Rafael was born with nine fingers. Bollywood Actor Hrithik Roshan has three thumbs.

We need to embrace the behavior of people who act differently. Rafael eats with his hands. People in Ethiopia and other cultures eat with their hands. Read my article "Food, Love and Marriage" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2012/07/food-love-and-marriage.html.

While God welcomes all people to marry Him in heaven, God does not call everyone to marriage on earth. Some people are designed to be single; others are designed to be married. Some people with disabilities God created to experience the joy of marital sex. Read my article "Sex and the Disabled" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2012/04/sex-and-disabled.html.

Sin has a spoiling effect on relationships. Once we receive a relationship with God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Ghost, God never lets go of us for all eternity. However, believers sometimes let go of God by sinning.

When our relationship is not right with God it is also not right with people. One type of sin is lying. The sin of lying is common to singles and married people. Many married people lie to people who are not their spouse to get sex. They also lie to their spouse and/or don't talk about sex and other subjects.

God is for loving, joyful, sex-filled marriages. God is for openness/nakedness. Genesis 2:24-25 Amplified Bible says, "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall become united and cleave to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked and were not embarrassed or ashamed in each other’s presence."

Parents with awesome, affectionate, romantic, sexually sublime marriages are well positioned to talk to their children about sex. When parents have little or no sexual relationship, talking to their children about sex may inspire their children to think, "What do you know?;" "You aren't having fun and sexual sinners seem to be having fun." These children may decide to pursue sex outside of marriage.

We live in times when schools, the media, Planned Parenthood and others cannot be relied upon to teach our children about sex. Many advocates exist who promote sex outside of marriage and adolescent autonomy from parents, family and the Christian faith.

Some adolescents, adults, singles and married people have chosen abortion to kill the new life of a boy or girl created during sex outside of marriage and inside of marriage.

Some unborn boys and some unborn girls survive attempted abortions. Baby Ana Rosa Rodriquez survived an attempted abortion, but had her arm sliced off during the attempted abortion. In this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXOM99fm1A8 Gospel Singer Fred Hammond talks about surviving an attempted abortion. Abortion caused Claire Culwell to be born with club feet and dislocated hips. She survived the attempted abortion, her twin did not. Culwell is adopted and learned about her past by finding her birth mother who sought an abortion when she was 13. Watch their story here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=571B4ZiIZ_Y. (Abortions are performed on girls nine and ten years old. Watch this video with Curtis Boyd, MD, who admits to doing these abortions, to doing late-term abortions and that abortion is taking life http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfWB7tcAdhw.)

Are you an abortion survivor? Share your story. Joyce Meyer writes in her book Joy redefined Loving Others, "It is impossible for you to be happy if you don't get your mind off yourself and start reaching out to help someone else."

Are you a survivor of rape and/or sterilization? Share your story. Elaine Riddick was forcibly sterilized by the state of North Carolina at age 14 after she became pregnant at age 13 as a result of rape, and gave birth to her only child, Tony Riddick. Watch this CNN interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzYQLHHCxq8 in which Elaine Riddick says about Tony Riddick, "Someone asked me a question the other day. How do we get along? Do I have certain feelings towards him as far as you know reminding me that he was a product of rape. No, that's my son, and I love him very much, and he's a special gift from God. That's how I look at it."

Jesus reaches out to people. Jesus even reaches out to young children who are not wanted, planned or possessing a perfect physique. Yet some seek genetic testing to kill the disabled. Did you know that 67 percent of babies with Down Syndrome are aborted? Read this article http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/24/67-of-babies-with-down-syndrome-die-in-abortions-what-else-should-you-know/ to learn more about people with Down Syndrome. A doctor suggested Andrea Bocelli's mom have an abortion because her son might have a disability. She didn't follow his advice. 1 Timothy 5:25 Amplified Bible says, "So also, good deeds are evident and conspicuous, and even when they are not, they cannot remain hidden [indefinitely]." Andrea Bocelli, who is the biggest selling Classical musician in history, blind and a father, says he is glad to be alive; and he shares his story in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QfKCGTfn3o&feature=youtu.be. Do you have a good deed to share?

God wants us to manage our sexuality and every area of our life with love. Philippians 1:8-10 Amplified Bible says, "For God is my witness how I long for and pursue you all with love, in the tender mercy of Christ Jesus [Himself]! And this I pray: that your love may abound yet more and more and extend to its fullest development in knowledge and all keen insight [that your love may display itself in greater depth of acquaintance and more comprehensive discernment], So that you may surely learn to sense what is vital, and approve and prize what is excellent and of real value [recognizing the highest and the best, and distinguishing the moral differences], and that you may be untainted and pure and unerring and blameless [so that with hearts sincere and certain and unsullied, you may approach] the day of Christ [not stumbling nor causing others to stumble]."

While God does not always like what we do with the human physique, God likes the human physique. God also designed for parents to enjoy the sexual relations that may lead to starting a new human life. In Song of Songs/Song of Solomon 7:11 New Living Translation Bible a wife/lover says to her husband/lover, "Come, my love, let us go out to the fields and spend the night among the wildflowers." How wonderful to come to life through married parents making love in the outdoors! Or perhaps your mother laid on the beach with her legs and feet extended up as her husband lay across her creating fantastic friction when you were conceived? Risking a sandy butt isn't for everyone. Some spouses like to release love by lying on their sides merging their vagina and penis in a way that makes the head available for kissing feet, hands and other body parts and hands available to massage the butt and other places. Do you hug naked while riding your husband? The bed is probably considered the best place or at least the most convenient place for lovemaking. The bathroom is probably more popular than people admit. Read my article "How Gross Can Be Good" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2012/04/gross-can-be-good.html.

Even when married couples are past the age of reproduction, God designed for them to enjoy sex. Love licks (Japanese for oral sex,) sexual intercourse and other love making are better than cannibalism or euthanasia. Read my articles "An Appetizer, the Main Dish or Among a Smorgasbord of Love Play" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/03/an-appetizer-main-dish-or-among.html and "Awesome Aging" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/02/awesome-aging.html.

Because God loves us, God does not will for us to have partner sex outside of marriage. Because God loves us, God wills for us to enjoy sex inside of marriage. God does not want any of us to be afraid of sexuality and try to stomp it out. God created sexuality. What God creates is good, beautiful and excellent provided we participate in God's creation according to His design. God designed sex to bond marital couples. Sometimes sex leads to reproduction. Read my article "Fearless Sex" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/01/fearless-sex.html.

Sexual sin doesn't have to stop us from enjoying fearless sex. Have you participated in killing an unborn boy or an unborn girl? If we are in relationship with God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit, abortion and any other sin does not separate us from the love of God. Stop sinning, and shake off shame and condemnation. Acts 3:19-20 Amplified Bible says, "So repent (change your mind and purpose); turn around and return [to God], that your sins may be erased (blotted out, wiped clean), that times of refreshing (of recovering from the effects of heat, of reviving with fresh air) may come from the presence of the Lord; And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah), Who before was designated and appointed for you—even Jesus."

Enjoy friendships with the opposite sex and the same sex, and if marriage is God's will for you, also enjoy sex with your spouse. John 10:10 Amplified Bible says, "The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)." Refuse to allow shame and condemnation to steal the joy and the feast of sex with your spouse.

Christopher Yuan says he was strangled by a boyfriend/lover in his book Out Of A Far Country A gay son's journey to God. A broken mother's search for hope., and he continued to stay in the relationship for a while. How did he escape sexual slavery? "I didn't leave homosexuality because I thought it was so bad...I left homosexuality because I found something better, and His name is Jesus," Yuan says in this speech http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEDG2xxDGAg. Christopher Yuan's story is not I'm sorry I got caught in my sins, wish to keep on sinning while God wipes out the consequences of my choices, but a story of real change and love of God and people. Proverbs 28:13 Complete Jewish Bible says, "He who conceals his sins will not succeed; he who confesses and abandons them will gain mercy." Have you come out of sexual slavery?

People who have HIV or AIDS are not exempt from the mercy and love of God. Christopher Yuan talks about having HIV, illegal drug use and selling, God and sexuality in this speech http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDbyhoRuw54.

Christopher Yuan cooperated with Jesus Christ doing a root canal to remove his distorted sexuality. It was rough, but necessary to reveal a landscape filled with Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ celebrates loving sexuality. Yuan has regular checkups with Jesus Christ. Some hurt. Most are enjoyable. Yuan talks about surgery and checkups in his book Out Of A Far Country A gay son's journey to God. A broken mother's search for hope.

Christopher Yuan went to dental school and is currently a cool, confident, compassionate, committed single. I pray that if he gets married, he will be committed to a Christian wife and to good fillings of the marital vaginal kind.

The Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 New Living Translation Bible, "Never stop praying," and in 1 Timothy 2:1-6 Amplified Bible, "First of all, then, I admonish and urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men, For kings and all who are in positions of authority or high responsibility, that [outwardly] we may pass a quiet and undisturbed life [and inwardly] a peaceable one in all godliness and reverence and seriousness in every way. For such [praying] is good and right, and [it is] pleasing and acceptable to God our Savior, Who wishes all men to be saved and [increasingly] to perceive and recognize and discern and know precisely and correctly the [divine] Truth. For there [is only] one God, and [only] one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, Who gave Himself as a ransom for all [people, a fact that was] attested to at the right and proper time."

A Latino proverb says, "Una buena accion es la mejor oracion" (A good deed is the best prayer.") Do you vote? Watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7edX9l2c08 about voting, lynching and living.

Sarah J. Garnet, the eldest of eleven children, the wife of a minister named Henry H. Garnet and the first African American woman to be appointed principal in the New York City public school system, believed so strongly in voting that she was also a founder of one of Brooklyn New York's first equal rights organization, called the Equal Suffrage League.

Sarah J. Garnet was also a friend of Ida B. Wells who was friends with black men who owned a grocery store in Memphis, Tennessee. Wells' friends were lynched, and she wrote about their deaths in her newspaper noting that they were killed because their grocery store was competitive with a white owned store. A few months later her newspaper office was sacked. The year was 1892, and a record number of lynchings of African Americans happened. The lynchings and the ruin of her newspaper office did not stop Wells from speaking out against racially-motivated evil.

Evil acts are not to stop Christians from doing good deeds. 1 Corinthians 15:58 Amplified Bible says, "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm (steadfast), immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord [always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the Lord], knowing and being continually aware that your labor in the Lord is not futile [it is never wasted or to no purpose]."

Sarah J. Garnet along with other women raised money to help replace the destroyed presses of Ida B. Wells. Helping people is holy and loving. Philippians 4:5 Amplified Bible says, "Let all men know and perceive and recognize your unselfishness (your considerateness, your forbearing spirit). The Lord is near [He is coming soon]." 1 John 3:16-18 Amplified Bible says, "By this we come to know (progressively to recognize, to perceive, to understand) the [essential] love: that He laid down His [own] life for us; and we ought to lay [our] lives down for [those who are our] brothers [in Him]. But if anyone has this world’s goods (resources for sustaining life) and sees his brother and fellow believer in need, yet closes his heart of compassion against him, how can the love of God live and remain in him? Little children, let us not love [merely] in theory or in speech but in deed and in truth (in practice and in sincerity)."

Ida B. Wells wrote the book Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All Its Phases in 1892. She would write other books, marry Ferdinand/Frederick Barnett and have four children with Barnett named Charles, Herman, Ida and Alfreda. Read more about Ida B. Wells in my article "All Mothers Work" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/05/all-mothers-work.html.

Born a slave in Mississippi, Ida B. Wells became free as many other African Americans did after the Civil War. 1865 was an eventful year. Abraham Lincoln signed the 13th Amendment to the US constitution outlawing slavery throughout the United States of America; Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House, Virginia; less than 50 miles from where Lee surrendered to Grant, Albert Priddy was born; The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) was formed in Pulaski, Tennessee, by six middle-class Confederate veterans. Albert Priddy would become a doctor, a superintendent of the Virginia Colony for Epileptics and Feeble-Minded, an advocate of eugenics and sterilization and the original defendant in the US Supreme Court case Buck v. Priddy that became Buck v. Bell. John Bell replaced Priddy who died of Hodgkin's disease which is a type of cancer. Francis Galton coined the term eugenics and is a cousin of Evolutionist Charles Darwin who wrote the book On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favored Races. Eugenics is a "science" to exterminate the disabled, low-income and/or people not of certain European heritage by sterilization, abortion, infanticide, dangerous contraception and other ways to eliminate their reproduction.

Just because African American slavery has ended doesn't mean that the slave-master mindset is dead. Sadly it has survived, is very sick and tries to be slick masquerading as things like "healthcare." Watch these videos with Elaine Riddick and Freda McKissic Bush, MD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFJNX5bHYVI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60C87TaxpQQ.

What is the biggest killer of African Americans? It's not heart disease, cancer, diabetes, AIDS or violent crime. Watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20KPGyOfBhk and read my article "Thoughts About Abortion" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/01/thoughts-about-abortion.html.

America has a long history of maiming and killing African Americans, persons with disabilities and others. The slave-master mindset showed up in 1973 when the US Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade legalized abortion and state-sponsored sterilization was in the American court system in the case Relf v. Weinberger. Mrs. Katie Relf was the wife of a man who was disabled. The couple had six children including 12-year-old Mary Alice Relf, who was diagnosed as mentally retarded and had no right hand, and 14-year-old Minnie Lee Relf. The family survived on welfare payments and lived in government-subsidized housing. Mrs. Relf was illiterate and signed an "X" on a government form unknowingly giving Alabama state permission to sterilize Mary Alice Relf and Minnie Lee Relf. When Relf found out that her family had been subjected to forced sterilizations she participated in a class-action lawsuit. Investigations during the lawsuit revealed that federal funds had been used to sterilize between 100,000 and 150,000 people. Also mostly women were being threatened with the loss of welfare benefits unless they consented to being sterilized. Some pregnant women were told that their baby would not be delivered unless they agreed to be sterilized during childbirth. The outcome of Relf v. Weinberger was to continue the slave-master mindset. Federal funding of sterilization continued with "improved" methods of securing "informed consent" to be sterilized, and the 1927 US Supreme Court decision Buck v. Bell remained in place. US Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. wrote in the Buck v. Bell case upholding American state-sponsored sterilization, "It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes.... Three generations of imbeciles are enough.".

Many people who have the slave-master mindset say that abortion and sterilization are helpful. Wallace Kuralt said he was helping disabled, low-income and/or people not of certain European heritage by forcibly sterilizing them. The Charlotte Observer reports that Kuralt was a welfare director in North Carolina from 1945 to 1972 who said in a 1970 interview that “we’ve pursued sterilization of the inadequate parents more actively than any place in the world... Our activities (in birth control and sterilization) have caused us to give aid to less than 50 percent of the families we would have had to give aid to if it were not for these activities.” Read more here: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2013/08/08/4223519/alice-mae-jackson-and-eugenics.html#.UjHJM3_mViM#storylink=cpy. In a July 2009 New York Times Magazine interview US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said, "Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of. So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion."

Margaret Sanger of the American Birth Control League which became Planned Parenthood also had the slave-master mindset. Sanger, who received some funding from Clarence Gamble, an heir of the Procter and Gamble fortune who had the slave-master mindset, says in this interview with Mike Wallace https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsrOPDdbTzM, "I think the greatest sin in the world is bringing children into the world that have a disease from their parents, that have no chance in the world to be a human being practically, delinquents, prisoners, all sort of things, just marked when they are born. That to me is the greatest sin that people can commit."

Margaret Sanger's thinking is against the human race and in favor of abortion, sterilization, infanticide and "family planning" targeted toward the disabled, low-income persons and those not of certain European heritage. For Margaret Sanger, who spoke at KKK rallies, Planned Parenthood and their likes it never was and is still not about reproductive rights or reproductive health. It's always been about reproductive racism, sexism, elitism, disability discrimination, etc. Watch this Maafa 21 video http://maafa21.com/, and read this fact sheet by The Rebecca Project for Human Rights http://www.rebeccaproject.org/images/stories/Fact%20Sheets/depo-provera-deadly-reproductive-violence-rebecca-project-for-human-rights-2013.pdf; "Over the past two years, the Rebecca Project has investigated, documented and interviewed scores of women and girls, deducing that birth control providers serving low-income women and girls such as Planned-Parenthood characteristically decline to inform patients about the FDA's warnings concerning Depo Provera. However, health providers are mandated ethically to inform women of harm and to post FDA Depo Provera Black-Box warnings on websites -- instead of misleading and misinforming families about the drug's dangerous side effects."

Watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk1f95sDna0 in which persecution of immigrants is discussed and an advocate with the Rebecca Project talks about the side effects of Depo Provera, US government efforts to sterilize 1/4 of the world's women of color and other issues. Do you have an abortion, sterilization, infanticide, Depo Provera, Norplant or other "family planning" experience to share?

No matter what color we are we can be enslaved by the slave-master mindset. God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit calls people to freedom. 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 Amplified Bible says, "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom). And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit."

Free people are faithful to research ways to stay out of slavery and to fight for freedom. Proverbs 18:15 Amplified Bible says, "The mind of the prudent is ever getting knowledge, and the ear of the wise is ever seeking (inquiring for and craving) knowledge."

Hiram Rhoades (Rhodes) Revels was an African Methodist Episcopal Church minister who was an educator. After Revels was the first African American to serve in the US Senate completing the term vacated by Confederate President Jefferson, Revels became the first president of Alcorn College for Negros. Like Blanche Kelso Bruce, the first African American elected to the US Senate who served the full six-year term, Revels represented Mississippi and was a member of the Republican Party which was founded to stop the spread of African American slavery.

Dr. Alveda King, a niece of Christian Minister and Civil Rights Activist Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and co-editor with Dr. LaVerne Tolbert of the book Life At All Costs An Anthology Of Voices From 21st Century Black Prolife Leaders, has African, Native American and European ancestors. She is also a Christian who talks about her heritage, the mix of heritage Americans possess, and her "family planning" experience in this Civil Rights and the Pro-Life Movement speech given at Villanova University https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zj4JAbHvw9U.

Alveda King's grandfather had a dream about her before she was born, and he encouraged her mother not to abort her. His dream came true. Alveda King is alive today and full of life. Women and girls are hurt by abortion. Dr. Alveda King speaks regularly about the harm abortion has done to her and others. King had a cervical cerclage, which is a surgery to stitch a cervix, so that it stays closed and able to hold pregnancy. Abortion weakens the cervix. Women who have had abortions are more likely to miscarry. Some women, like Tegra Little, are not able to have children after an abortion.

Men and boys are hurt by abortion too. Read my article "Do Fathers Have a Say in Abortion and Frozen Embryos?" http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/01/do-fathers-have-say-in-abortion-and.html.

Women, girls, men and boys are also hurt by sterilization. North Carolina didn't have a dialogue with Elaine Riddick that clearly informed her of the state's intention of sterilizing her. Instead of receiving healthcare Elaine Riddick was forcibly sterilized by the state of North Carolina nine months after she was raped by a neighbor and was giving birth via a C-section to her son conceived through rape. Watch this CNN interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzYQLHHCxq8 in which Elaine Riddick says about her state-sponsored sterilization, "Later on because of my body was traumatized so severely I ended up having to have a total hysterectomy. But prior to that before I had the hysterectomy most of my life was I had to live in a whole lot of pain, hemorrhaging. When I got my monthly cycle ... it felt like someone had taken a knife and was gutting me .... My menstrual cycle ... wasn't normal because it lasted ... 12 to 15 days at a time, and this happened from the time ... after I had my son from the time I was 14 until I got into my 40s when I eventually did have to have a total hysterectomy."

Riddick says about the psychological impact of her forced sterilization, "You will never recover from this because it's always there. Every time you wake up when you go to sleep it's there. You think about how you've been treated in this country here. You think about--well me myself I had been so severely damaged until I was on Prozac, Serentil and Haldol, and that's how I coped. I had to wean myself off these things in order for me to cope, and I have to cope, and I have to go on."

Sometimes people consider physical health as more important than mental health. The reality is that they both need our regular attention, and failing to take good care of ourselves physically and mentally is dangerous and even deadly. Read my article "Heart Disease, Depression and Christianity" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/02/heart-disease-depression-and.html.

Sometimes people consider animals of little value, but that's not how God teaches us to view and to treat animals. Proverbs 12:10 New Living Translation Bible says, "The godly care for their animals, but the wicked are always cruel." Proverbs 12:6 New Living Translation Bible says, "The words of the wicked are like a murderous ambush, but the words of the godly save lives." Have you spoken out against sterilizing cats and/or other animals? Have you spoken out against euthanizing cats and/or other animals?

Recently, I tried to adopt a cat from a shelter and was told that the cat couldn't be adopted without him first being sterilized. Have you had a similar experience?

Are you a victim of American state-sponsored sterilization? A Persian proverb says, "Opportunity should be grabbed." In North Carolina $10 million is to be split equally among people sterilized through the North Carolina Eugenics Board.

A Latino proverb says, "No hay tiempo como el presente" (There is no time like the present.") Compensation claims must be filed by June 30, 2014, for victims to receive a one-time payment to be distributed June 30, 2015.

North Carolina had a eugenics board from the 1930s through the 1970s through which social workers, family and others arranged for people to be sterilized. If you think you are one of the victims, you can ask the North Carolina Justice for Sterilization Victims Foundation to check the North Carolina Eugenic Board's records by completing and mailing them this form: http://www.sterilizationvictims.nc.gov/documents/FirstPartyVerificationform.pdf. Sometimes people are not able to speak up for themselves and need advocates. If you are not a victim, but are an advocate for a victim, you can ask the North Carolina Justice for Sterilization Victims Foundation to check the North Carolina Eugenic Board's records by completing and mailing them this form with required attachments: http://www.sterilizationvictims.nc.gov/documents/ThirdPartyVerificationform.pdf. These forms are verification and not a guarantee of compensation.

A Korean proverb says, "The fortunate man has bread and friends." If you have filed a North Carolina verification form, please share your experience and inspire others.

Leilani Muir won $1 million in Canadian currency after filing a class-action lawsuit against the Alberta Canadian government for her forced sterilization. Alberta had passed a Sexual Sterilization Act in 1928 following the Buck v. Bell case in the United States of America. Have you obtained money as a result of a lawsuit related to sterilization, abortion, infanticide or dangerous contraception?

Chinese Americans have been identified with African American slavery and segregation. In the 1927 US Supreme Court decision Gong Lum v. Rice, the court ruled that Chinese American citizens are colored and as a consequence are restricted to segregated schools. Oliver W. Holmes, Jr., was an associate justice at the time. Also in 1927 US Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. wrote in the Buck v. Bell case upholding American state-sponsored sterilization, "It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes.... Three generations of imbeciles are enough."

In this interview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doiWP2SQx2E Chen Guangcheng, who is blind, the husband of Yuan Weijing and the father of Chen Kerui and Chen Kesi, talks about his nephew, Chen Kegui who is the husband of Liu Fang and father of a young son named Chen Fubin, and, he notes that Chen Kegui was put in the same jail shortly after Chen Guangcheng escaped China that Chinese authorities put Chen Guangcheng in after he filed a 2005 class-action lawsuit against forced abortion and forced sterilization. Chen Guangcheng also encourages people to blog in this interview.

Chen Guangcheng wrote "The Next Human Rights Revolution" in Chinese as Distinguished Senior Fellow in Human Rights at the Witherspoon Institute on October 17, 2013, translated by Jessica Zheng, "I would like to call on the American people to take actions to urge the officials and congressmen you voted into office to apply all resources and means to help terminate China’s evil one-child policy and forced abortions. Forcing women to abort their babies is a violation of universal human rights. It tramples on women’s rights, the right of free choice, and also the sacred right of life. This wicked policy results in a severe imbalance in gender ratio and a rapidly aging population."

Pastor Bob Fu is president of China Aid Association and author of the book God's Double Agent The True Story of a Chinese Christian's Fight for Freedom in which one of the subjects Bob Fu writes about is how he, his wife, Heidi Fu, and their first child, Daniel Fu, escaped a forced-abortion tragedy that loomed over the family because Heidi Fu was pregnant without a pregnancy permission card required by China's one-child policy. Most people do not escape China's one-child policy that includes forced abortions and forced sterilizations. Fu writes in God's Double Agent The True Story of a Chinese Christian's Fight for Freedom, "Chinese political structure--from the national level all the way down to the village level--has family planning commissions with almost unlimited power. If a woman manages to hide her illegal pregnancy and has an "extra child," the commission can make her pay fines worth three to five times the family's income, confiscate property, or throw her in prison. (China collects more than ten billion US dollars in "family planning," fines every year.) But if the woman is unable to hide her illegal pregnancy, officials will inject her with a poison regardless of how far along she is. Every day, thirty thousand women are forced to have abortions, no doubt contributing to Chinese women's astronomical suicide rates. China boasts that it has successfully prevented four hundred million children from being born, more than the entire population of the United States."

A woman subjected to a forced abortion at nine months of pregnancy shares her story here http://www.womensrightswithoutfrontiers.org/blog/?p=1327. This article includes a letter from a woman subjected to a forced abortion and a forced sterilization http://www.chinaaid.org/2012/07/sister-guo-yanling-christian-in-guangxi.html; also "Her family home was forcibly demolished, all their assets were stolen, and she was placed under administrative detention."

China has implemented a new anti-rumor law. Read here http://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/access-09102013102331.html for more information about the new anti-rumor law which has impacted Chen Guangfu, Chen Guangcheng's eldest brother, and others. Don't be intimidated. Chen Guangcheng isn't. He's still speaking out for human rights. New York University rejected Chen Guangcheng. Now he's affiliated with the Witherspoon Institute, the Catholic University of America and the Lantos Foundation for Human Rights and Justice which also with individuals and with groups like http://www.savesaeed.org is working to free Pastor Saeed Abedini who is imprisoned in Evin prison in Iran because of his Christian faith and works. Ephesians 4:14-15 Amplified Bible says, "So then, we may no longer be children, tossed [like ships] to and fro between chance gusts of teaching and wavering with every changing wind of doctrine, [the prey of] the cunning and cleverness of unscrupulous men, [gamblers engaged] in every shifting form of trickery in inventing errors to mislead. Rather, let our lives lovingly express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly]. Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him Who is the Head, [even] Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)."

Chen Guangcheng is a friend of Desmond Tutu, Archbishop Emeritus of Cape Town, South Africa. Tutu is also an honorary chair of Freedom Now which is providing legal counsel to Chen Guangcheng's family. Jared Genser, founder of Freedom Now, wrote the following three suggestions on how to help Chinese dissidents in this article http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/jared-genser-the-us-needs-a-new-strategy-in-addressing-chinas-human-rights/2013/10/27/58246600-34ef-11e3-8a0e-4e2cf80831fc_story.html, "First, the clear violation of China’s commitments and its lies must be directly and publicly confronted. Failure to squarely address the government’s impunity only emboldens those in the Chinese government who interpret quiet diplomacy and private protestations as a license to oppress. It was disheartening, for example, when President Obama failed to sign a letter to incoming Chinese President Xi Jinping last December from 134 Nobel laureates pressing for Liu Xiaobo’s release. The White House has never publicly called for Liu Xia to be released from her extralegal house arrest. This signals to Beijing that there will be no real price for failing to respond to private requests for action on these cases.

Second, in instances in which Chinese officials refuse to engage as honest actors, it is incumbent upon the U.S. administration to meet with Chinese dissidents and their families who can speak with unique authority about the persecution they continue to face in China. Meetings with President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry, in particular, make clear that the United States views human rights as a central component of its foreign policy.

Finally, each high-level meeting with Chinese officials should include a substantive discussion of human rights issues relevant to the subject of the meeting. International standards on political, social, economic, environmental and cultural rights inform nearly all aspects of modern life. Prioritizing a bilateral relationship that consistently emphasizes fundamental freedoms would allow the administration to articulate a coherent strategy for addressing human rights while fostering the conditions for a real dialogue."

In South Africa Desmond Tutu headed the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that exposed many of the evils done under apartheid, so that evil may be stopped and good promoted. North Carolina is not the only American state that did state-sponsored sterilizations. In 1907 Indiana became the first US state to legalize state-sponsored sterilizations. California is believed to be the state with the largest number of state-sponsored sterilizations, but not all state records have been released. John Harvey Kellogg, who invented Corn Flakes breakfast cereal with his brother, also founded the Race Betterment Foundation which was active in Michigan, another state that had state-sponsored sterilizations.

Cindy Trimm says in her book Commanding Your Morning, "Think big and think detailed!.... Become a visionary--be creative. Take the limits off your mind! Think beyond where you are.... Ask God to enlarge your capacity for thinking, to take the limits off." Other American states besides North Carolina and other nations need to apologize to, financially compensate victims and erase all forms of "family planning" evil.

The door to evil has not been closed. US Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., wrote in the 1927 Buck v. Bell case upholding American state-sponsored sterilization, "It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes.... Three generations of imbeciles are enough." When asked how Virginia would benefit by sterilizing Carrie Buck, Dr. Joseph DeJarnette said, "You are raising the standard of intelligence in the state" and many prostitutes come to his mental health institution "having had venereal diseases and having had children, and brother, worse than all, white women came there having negro children" (Paul A. Lombardo, Three Generations No Imbeciles.) Carrie Buck was a white woman who was raped by the white nephew of her foster parents. Buck did not have venereal disease nor was she a prostitute. Later in life Carrie Buck was married for decades. Carrie Buck and Norma McCorvey (the Jane Roe in Roe v. Wade) were both low-income, one group of people eugenics tries to eliminate. Dr. DeJarnette named himself  "Sterilization DeJarnette" and was an activist for Virginia forced sterilizations. Like Roe v. Wade which legalized abortion in America Buck v. Bell has not been overturned. Norma McCorvey writes in her book Won by Love Jane Roe of Roe V. Wade, Speaks Out For The Unborn As She Shares Her New Conviction For Life, "The affidavit did not happen the way I said it did, pure and simple. I lied! Sarah Weddington and Linda Coffee needed an extreme case to make their client look pitiable. Rape seemed to be the ticket. What made rape even worse? A gang rape!"

Some places are not prosecuting known killers and putting them in jail. Cristin Gilbert, a young woman who had Down Syndrome and was raped, was also killed along with her child by abortionist Leroy Carhart, who also killed Jennifer Morbelli, a teacher, and her daughter, Madison Leigh, who had a disability. Leroy Carhart is not in jail. He is still performing abortions. Douglas Karpen has killed Denise Montoya and babies born alive after attempted abortions (infanticide). He's not in jail either.
