HOW CAN SNEAKS AND LIARS CONVINCE THE WORLD THEY ARE GOOD CHRISTIANS?

Having read enough history of the part Christianity has played in our world that has not been constructive nor 'Christian'.  The role of the pedophile priests and the way their superiors covered for them with denial of the pain they were inflicting is but one small example.

Tara Ganeva, an Associated Press reporter writes about a new law that would force sneaky Christian crisis pregnancy centers to reveal their anti-choice agenda.  Apparently these centers do not offer choice which is part of the reason they get Federal funding.  She writes:  "A New York law introduced Tuesday would force Crisis Pregnancy Centers — religious, anti-choice organizations that counsel pregnant women against getting abortions — to stop posing as health clinics. The law requires CPCs to disclose that they do not provide abortion services, contraceptives or referrals for abortions.

CPCs, which receive federal funding, rarely indicate their anti-choice agenda. Most are indistinguishable from women’s health clinics, except that in place of health advice they proffer medical misinformation, Bible study and pictures of fetuses to dissuade women from choosing abortion. There are over 2,300 pregnancy centers across the country, according to the Wall Street Journal"

She continues:  "Democratic Council Member Jessica Lappin, who sponsored the bill, told the WSJ, “These are anti-choice centers masquerading as health clinics … Women who are scared and vulnerable and having a very tough decision to make have a right to factually accurate medical information, and the fact that these folks would purposely try to mislead them is not right.” "  For the complete article, click here.  To see the NARAL report, click here.

A few years ago I thought we were through, for the most part, with this being the issue it has been made today.  It amazes me that we, in the United States, a country which states there is a separation of church and state, is fighting to preserve that in a most half-hearted way.  I confess to having dropped out of the cheer leading section because it didn't seem to be a current need for me or my family members.  I stopped contributing a few years ago but have decided that what little I have to contribute will undergo a priority review.
