What is Partial-Birth Abortion?
Partial-Birth Abortion is a procedure in which the abortionist pulls a living baby feet-first out of the womb and into the birth canal (vagina), except for the head, which the abortionist purposely keeps lodged just inside the cervix (the opening to the womb). The abortionist punctures the base of the baby’s skull with a surgical instrument, such as a long surgical scissors or a pointed hollow metal tube called a trochar. He then inserts a catheter (tube) into the wound, and removes the baby's brain with a powerful suction machine. This causes the skull to collapse, after which the abortionist completes the delivery of the now-dead baby.
Why is it called "Partial-Birth"?
Under state laws, a “live birth” occurs when a baby is entirely expelled from the mother and shows any signs of life, however briefly -- regardless of whether the baby is “viable,” i.e., developed enough to be sustained outside the womb with neo-natal medical assistance. Even at 4½ months (20 weeks), perinatologists say that if a baby is expelled or removed completely from the uterus, she will usually gasp for breath and sometimes survive for hours, even though lung development is usually insufficient to permit successful sustained respiration until 23 weeks. Thus, the term “partial-birth” is perfectly descriptive. http://www.nrlc.org/abortion/facts/pbafacts.html
What does the Bible say about abortion?
“If men fight, and hurt a woman with child, so that she gives birth prematurely, yet no harm follows, he shall surely be punished accordingly as the woman’s husband imposes on him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. 23 But if any harm follows, then you shall give life for life. Exodus 21:22-23
At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea,40 where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. 41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. Luke1:39-41
These are just three examples that God considers an unborn baby to have life and to kill it is murder. God knew us in the womb, he formed us. Jewish law states that if a man causes a woman to miscarry, he is guilty of murder. Third example, John the Baptist leaped with joy in Elisabeth's womb when he heard the voice of Mary who was carrying Jesus. If he was not alive, how could he leap in her womb??
The term many women use to describe that they are pregnant is that they are "with child" they don't say "with embryo" the child is alive within them.
Another thing that I stand for is the meaning of marriage, it is between a man and a woman. I do not hate gay people, Jesus said we should love everyone, but I believe marriage should only be between a man and a woman. What does the Bible say about this?
18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”
19 Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals.
But for Adam[f] no suitable helper was found. 21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs[g] and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib[h] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
23 The man said,

23 The man said,
“This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called ‘woman,’
for she was taken out of man.”
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called ‘woman,’
for she was taken out of man.”
24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. Genesis 2:18-24
God intended man to unite with another so he would not be alone, God created Eve to be the mans helpmate. God did not create another man to be with Adam.
4 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’[a] 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’[b]? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” Matthew 19:4-6
For those that say that it is Old Testament. The disciples clearly teach that marriage is between a man and a woman.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. Romans 1:26-27
In this verse is the description of homosexuality, it is unnatural and shameful.
One of the main reasons that I am against Obama is his stance on Israel. Israel is God's chosen and as Christians we are supposed to stand with her and support her.
President Barack Obama was caught on camera on Monday assuring outgoing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that he will have "more flexibility" to deal with contentious issues like missile defense after the U.S. presidential election. http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/26/us-nuclear-summit-obama-medvedev-idUSBRE82P0JI20120326
Russia is against Israel, they are allies with Iran and supply them with arms and are helping them to develop nuclear weapons. As we know, Iran has made no secret of her desire to destroy Israel. So we see that Obama is friends with those that want to destroy Israel.
"I will bless them that bless thee and curse them that curse thee, and in thee shall all the nations of the earth be blessed." Genesis 12:3
Any nation that has turned their backs on Israel has lost their power, and many nations that have tried to destroy Israel have themselves been destroyed.
Many people ask, where is America in Bible prophecy. The Bible only tells about the nations that directly affect Israel. We seem to be on that road now, we are turning our backs on Israel and we are no longer the super power that we used to be. Reading the Bible as a child, I wondered how America could not be in Biblical prophecy. How could the revived Roman Empire be the leader of the world when the US was so strong. Now I can see how that can happen. We are no longer the power that we once were and with our bad economy we are becoming less and less every year. It is only a matter of time before we are no longer considered a leader of any kind in this world. The power will switch to Europe.
I have to say, shame on you to any Christians that voted for Obama, and especially any pastors that encouraged their parishioners to vote for Obama. One day you will stand before the Lord and have to give an account of your actions, and a pastor will be held accountable for what he teaches his flock. You knew what he stood for and what he stands for is against what the Bible teaches.
What comes next in Biblical prophecy? There are only two things that are left to happen before the Antichrist rises on the scene. We are seeing the stage being set for him to rise to power. I will go into more detail on these things at a later time. The only two prophecies left are the war of Gog and Magog and the Rapture. There is no timetable in the Bible for these events and either one may come before the other. There are 25,000 people that turn to God for their salvation daily, so God may delay the Rapture for one more day for these people. There will come a time when the last person that will believe will accept Christ and then we will go home.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Matthew 24:14
The second event is the war of Gog and Magog. I think we are seeing this war being set up right now. America, Israel's only ally with Obama at its head will not stand with Israel.
President Obama made a fateful choice in becoming the first American commander -in- chief who is unwilling to stand with Israel at a time when the country faces an existential peril. http://articles.nydailynews.com/2012-09-13/news/33823202_1_obama-and-netanyahu-netanyahu-lives-prime-minister-benjamin-netanyahu

No one will be standing with Israel when this attack comes. The nations will try to solve this with diplomacy instead of arms. You can read my blog post about the war of Gog and Magog here: http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1990584200520272866#editor/target=post;postID=8370814328121157630
I believe we are seeing everything falling into place for this attack to take place.

I will continue to pray for my country to do the right thing and I will be praying for Israel. I also pray for all those that do not know the Lord. The time is growing short and the church will soon be called home to be with the Lord.
