Text Box: Guttmacher reports still constitutes a "stall" in what had earlier been a more rapid decline. He also continues to criticize the Bush administration for economic policies that he says bring hardship on low-income women. "It is clear to me that undermining the financial support for mothers, undermining the availability of medical insurance, and increasing the jobless rate for prospective mates so that they are less likely to marry, has a bad influence on abortion rates and infant mortality rates."

Text Box: Text Box: COUNT IT ALL JOY WHEN YOU SHALL FALL INTO DIVERS TEMPTATIONS
What a strange thing to say!

James 1:2-12

1:2. My brethren, count it all joy, when you shall fall into divers temptations: 1:3. Knowing that the trying of your faith worketh patience 1:4. And patience hath a perfect work: that you may be perfect and entire, failing in nothing. 1:5. But if any of you want wisdom, let him ask of God who giveth to all men abundantly and upbraideth not. And it shall be given him. 1:6. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, which is moved and carried about by the wind. 1:7. Therefore let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 1:8. A double minded man is inconstant in all his ways. 1:9. But let the brother of low condition glory in his exaltation: 1:10. And the rich, in his being low: because as the flower of the grass shall he pass away. 1:11. For the sun rose with a burning heat and parched the grass: and the flower thereof fell off, and the beauty of the shape thereof perished. So also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. 1:12. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for, when he hath been proved, he shall receive the crown of life which God hath promised to them that love him.

These words are not platitudes. These thoughts are truths. They are not the meanderings of a simpering mind, but Divinely inspired expressions of absolute truth. Ask in Faith - not in simple belief but in Faith which is proven in the works and thoughts of the one of Faith. Do not simply endure temptation - trounce it. Be concerned with the riches of this world, or the lack thereof, only to the measure to which they effect service to God and the service of God’s purposes.

Text Box: programs would be required to cover abortions. Even the National Right To Life Committee, Inc., will be required to include abortion coverage in its health insurance coverage to its employees.

Initially there may be exemptions from this requirement. But very quickly those entities which receive government funds or other government assistance will be required to provide abortions. Then, all exemptions will be removed.
