Hebrews 13:20-21 Amplified Bible says, "Now may the God of peace [Who is the Author and the Giver of peace], Who brought again from among the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, by the blood [that sealed, ratified] the everlasting agreement (covenant, testament), Strengthen (complete, perfect) and make you what you ought to be and equip you with everything good that you may carry out His will; [while He Himself] works in you and accomplishes that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ (the Messiah); to Whom be the glory forever and ever (to the ages of the ages). Amen (so be it)." God wants all good things for His creyentes (believers). Former Mexican President Benito Juarez said, "The respect for the rights of others is peace."
Slavery and peace are incompatible. June 19th is Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day in the United States of America. Juneteenth is a celebration of the end of African-American slavery in the United States of America.
On June 18, 2013, the United States House of Representatives voted in favor of H.R. 1797 the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act which puts a national prohibition on abortions of unborn girls and unborn boys aged 20 weeks and older. The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act respects the rights of the unborn who are people too deserving of peace, freedom and other good gifts from God.
God knows how to give good gifts. In addition to giving creyentes eternal life, God gave creyentes sabbaths to worship Him and to keep economic activity as a balanced part of our lives instead of consuming our lives. One sabbath God gave lasts for one year in the Old Testament. The Old Testament is a foreshadow of better things to come in the New Testament. Dads, moms, children, singles and everyone benefits when a one-year-and-more of paid leave is a global employment reality. Biblical living is beautiful, balanced living.
The Chinese invented the toothbrush. A clean mouth promotes dental health, beautiful teeth and fresh breath. May we be cleansed from the unhealthy, ugly disrespect of people through slavery, abortion and excessive economic work. May we celebrate God and the good life He gave us.

Abortion Hurts
March 3rd is the centennial of the 1913 National Woman Suffrage Parade in Washington, D.C. Women finally secured the right to vote through the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1920.
The women's movement started out pro-life. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, passionately-in-love wife married 47 years, mother of seven, women's-rights activist and abolitionist, was both pro-woman and pro-life. In a 1873 letter to Julia Ward Howe, the originator of Mother's Day, Stanton writes, "When we consider that women are treated as property, it is degrading to women that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit." Read my article "Pro-Woman, Pro-life."
Advocates for women's rights shouldn't be fighting for abortion as about 50 percent of unborn babies are female. God is no respecter of persons. God is for the life of males and females. Galatians 3:28-29 the Message Bible says, "In Christ’s family there can be no division into Jew and non-Jew, slave and free, male and female. Among us you are all equal. That is, we are all in a common relationship with Jesus Christ. Also, since you are Christ’s family, then you are Abraham’s famous “descendant,” heirs according to the covenant promises."
Women and men in America and globally are standing up for the rights of the unborn. Read my article "Thoughts About Abortion."
On Thursday Arkansas joined Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Nebraska and Oklahoma to become another state to outlaw abortions past 20 weeks of gestation based on fetal pain. The Arkansas law is one of the National Right to Life Committee's model law called the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.
The website http://www.doctorsonfetalpain.com/ says, "Pain receptors are present throughout the unborn child’s entire body by no later than 16 weeks after fertilization, and nerves link these receptors to the brain’s thalamus and subcortical plate by no later than 20 weeks. For unborn children, says Dr. Paul Ranalli, a neurologist at the University of Toronto, 20 weeks is a “uniquely vulnerable time, since the pain system is fully established, yet the higher level pain-modifying system has barely begun to develop.” As a result, unborn babies at this age probably feel pain more intensely than adults."
Abortion hurts and harms people. Late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart has killed multiple babies and even some of their mothers, including Christin Gilbert, who was a 19-year-old with Down Syndrome, and died in 2005 following one of Carhart's botched abortions. Pro-life groups are currently asking the state of Maryland to revoke Carhart's medical license following his botched abortion on Jennifer Morbelli that resulted in her death and the death of her daughter.
Lifenews.com reports in the article "Jennifer Morbelli Not the First Woman Carhart Killed in Abortion" that Gilbert was raped and may not have consented to the Carhart abortion. Civil Rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer, who was instrumental in securing voting rights for African Americans and African-American representation in the Democratic Party, did not consent to being sterilized. A Mississippi doctor thought that black women should not reproduce, so he took it upon himself to reduce the African American population by sterilizing Hamer without her consent.
Abortion is so unfair to everyone involved. Sperm and egg are required to start human life, but only women have legal abortion-decision making rights. Read my article "Do Fathers Have a Say in Abortion and Frozen Embryos?"
Hamer liked to sing, "This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine." Hamer, who survived polio, but walked with a resulting limp, is the 20th child of her parents. Read my article "Big is Beautiful."
Please shine light on other injustices and inequalities related to abortion and involuntary sterilization by leaving an on-line comment.
