Hate Crimes Bill sneaks through U.S. House

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a controversial Hate Crimes Bill late last week in a 281-146 vote, with 131 Republicans and 15 Democrats objecting to the measure.

The legislation adds sexual orientation to the list of groups under the protection of the federal law. It also gives states and local jurisdictions federal help in prosecuting hate crimes.

Todd Nettleton with Voice of the Martyrs says, "They kind of went about it in a back door way. It does go to the Senate. Apparently, it will pass the Senate, from what we understand, partially because it's attached to this Defense Spending Bill, and the President has said he will sign it."

It should be illegal for them to slip in a controversial bill like this and attach it to a totally unrelated bill that everybody knows they won't say no to. The Senate ought to strike it down simply for that. Of course, they could just revise the bill, and drop that attachment.

All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.

Support For Abortion Slips

A recent poll indicates Americans are more pro-life than ever. Click here to read the article from OneNewsNow.

It seems that as more women experience abortion, a large number of them suffer from emotional after-effects that follow them a lifetime. Because of the negative impact it has on those involved, many who were once pro-choice are starting to speak out against abortion. This phenomenon has been known for a long time. Here is an article which gives a ray of hope to those who have been caught in the guilt and condemnation following abortion: healing is possible. You may not be able to erase the scars, but you can find forgiveness from God, and you can forgive yourself and those who aided you in the act.

Where there is life, there is hope!
