Kingdom Concerns: Terri, The Nation, The World

It is difficult to ignore what a couple of columnists at Foxnews wrote today regarding Terri Schiavo. John Gibson brings up the lack of moral ground Michael Schiavo stands on to remain as the legal guardian for Terri. Correctly, Gibson points out that Michael and Terri's marriage exists only for the purpose of killing her. Meanwhile, Florida courts continue to recognize this sham of a marriage. And some are in an uproar that Congress and the President found it necessary to get involved?

David Asman comments on how little a chance really Terri Schiavo is being given. This inspite of how little even neurologists know about brain recovery.

Here's a good, concise "what you need to know" fact sheet on Terri Schiavo's case from family.org's Citizen Link page.

Praise the LORD for the will of the US Congress to right a clear wrong. Join the American Center for Law and Justice Committee to Defend the Constitutionality of Terri's Law.

In a related issue, Cal Thomas writes, "Whether they now have a 60-vote majority, or not, Republicans should change the rules so they reflect the constitutional intentions of the founders." He is referencing the Democrats' threat to shut down the Senate if the rules they made regarding filibusters are changed. Democrats not wanting to abide by the principle of majority rule? Their party needs a name change. What's at stake? Here's an excerpt from the same column:

As former White House counsel C. Boyden Gray has said, "What we are doing is not changing rules, but restoring the status quo that existed for some 200-odd years."

The public is rightly growing tired of these inside-the-beltway political games.

From same-sex marriage, to abortion, to less controversial issues, judges have imposed their views on the law instead of allowing the people, through their elected representatives, to make law.

Eureka, the United Nations gets something straight for a change. On March 8, the UN approved a resolution that calls for an international ban on human cloning. Chuck Colson comments:

That’s a development to be welcomed and encouraged. And so is the support of more than eighty other countries, from Poland to Italy to Costa Rica and Honduras. They all voted for the ban. We need to strengthen those alliances and develop policies that span the traditional divides between First-World and Third-World countries, between pro-life and pro-choice, between conservatives and progressives.

As Wesley Smith points out in the Weekly Standard, “Pro-cloners frequently claim that their adversaries are merely a collection of Taliban-like religious fanatics seeking to impose their religious views on science. But the diverse and multicultural coalition which came together in the UN vote proves that assertion isn’t true.”

Just over eight years after the “biotech century” began with the cloning of Dolly the sheep, we’ve taken a first big step toward containing this technology and establishing the principle that human dignity must be respected first. Coming from the UN, an organization that is not generally known for its respect for human dignity, that’s a victory worth celebrating.

Pray, Brother. Nothing is beyond God's arm that he could not reach it.

Praise be to your Name, dear LORD.

In Jesus' Mighty Name, I pray. Amen.
