Kentucky Pride

Senator Rand Paul (son of Ron Paul), elected from Kentucky to the US Senate in the 2010 election which almost resulted in a Republican takeover in the Senate in spite of Republicans taking over the House, has become one of the foremost fighters for the Right to Life in Congress.  (Play the video at the end of the post).

In his life away from Congress, he is a Physician which has given him direct experience with the sickness of abortion.  He talks about a baby in one room of a hospital, born early, being left aside to die, while in the next room another baby, born early and of the same age of gestation, surrounded by doctors giving the best of care and providing a ventilator to help the baby survive to a promising life.  Sick.  Crazy! This is Choice!

But Rand points out that a person cannot have any choice unless first given a right to live.  But today we are governed by fear.  A fear of having a child for whom there will be inadequate money for the child's care..  A fear of inadequate housing.  A fear of education expenses.  A fear of being deprived of freedom to do fun things.  A fear of having a girl and not a boy.  A fear of having a deformed child.  A fear of having a child with a serious illness.  A fear of supporting a child too early and not being prepared.  On and on the fears assemble.  One thing seems clear - if a choice is made to abort, the choice is always based on a fear.

The reason for such fear, I believe, is a loss of a real and sincere belief in God, on the part of many people. A loss in belief in God, Who provides for all his creatures and can always be called upon to help us and lighten our burdens for He is a God of Love and Mercy in a world of sorry, injustice and pain.

Compare this to those who have no belief in God living in a country where nobody believes in God.  They must depend on government to provide them everything.  They must depend on officials of all types to help them when in need. They must depend on communities with people who may not be able to help because of being overworked or otherwise too busy.  All this in a world of sorrow, injustice and pain.

Do we realize how much each one of us depends on God, even if we do not believe in Him?  He lets the light shine and the rain fall on each person good or bad, poor or rich, believer or non believer.  He gives and sustains life in each of us.  None of this can just government do!

Think on this:  If absolutely nobody believed in God, what would life be like?
