Mike Adams Deciet?

 Yesterday Mike Adams posted Part V of , Of Mice and Mormons. On the threads one Caballerokid voiced his suspicions about Mr. Adams dragging the piece out so long. I had my own suspicions before I even read Part I.
 The title raised a red flag for me.
 My suspicions are more firm than ever now. I believe that Mr. Adams is writing a Mormon apologetics piece. The reason for the ? in my title is that I know nothing of Mike Adams faith. I've waited this long to see how he would develop his story. There is nothing new in the road blocks he is facing in the academic arena, we hardly need any more documentation for that.
Something else is going on. The whole tenor of Mr. Adams piece is to show case  Mr. Fords Mormonism, ( See, Mormons are Christians too. See how the nasty liberals are persecuting him.)
I'm going to develop this farther in one or two more articles ( hopefully not 5+). I find it very 'convenient' that after candidate Romney's Mormon theology has taken such a beating because of Hugh's book, that a piece like Mike Adams just happens to show up.
Stay tuned, Part 23 is right around the corner; of course Mr. Adams may just be doing a thorough investigative piece. If that is the case then he will need to include a thorough history of Mormon and Orthodox  Christian doctrines about the family. I don't think he will do that. The needle on my SUSPICIOMETER is already in the red.
I have several meters, SMELLARATMETER etc.

Abortion if it becomes a crime

I mentioned the debate about which criminal statutes would be used to prosecute those who obtain illegal abortions if ROE should be over turned. STR.ORG has a very lively debate going over the issue.
Christopher posted a comment recently on the debate.
 
I think it proper to try to clarify my reason for drawing attention to the issue in the first place.
I'm not a legal scholar, so I can by no means speak in a definitive way on the subject. Having said that, it seems to me that abortion will then largely revert back to state statutes. ROE effectively nullified state statutes that were specific to abortion, but whether any given state repealed their statutes on abortion or not could be critical to how a state would prosecute such cases. Here again let me emphasize that I'm not sure exactly how a given state'sattorney generals office would proceed, and that's precisely the problem.
If for instance California has repealed their abortion specific statutes, then abortion ( COULD) possibly be viewed as 1st degree homocide with special circumstances.
My problem with this matter isn't that I don't belive that abortion shouldn't be illegal, because I do. However, we as a society (speaking corporately) have been promoting abortion as legal and even as really no more than any other medical procedure such as dental work, for over 30 years. It has been promoted in schools, in the courts, by presidents ('legal but rare': Bill Clinton) and political candidates and even both major parties.  It seems to me that we would be obligated to go back through those same channels, (school programs etc.) and explain that abortion is no longer legal, plus impress upon everyone what the ramifications would be under whatever state statutes might be in place.
My first priority would be to advise pro-life legal organizations to review what the state of their current state's statutes are regarding abortion. Perhaps have the state attorney generals office write an opinion regarding the legal ramifications of overturning ROE specific to how the current statutes would be applied to illegal abortion.
Next, we as viewing life as sacred, I'm speaking to Christian Citizens, should be well prepared with legislation as well as cultural arguments to support our pro-life position. Just because ROE is over turned doesn't spell the end of legal abortion on demand, it will likely just shift the fight to the state level. Now that I think of it, I'm sure the ACLU is already working overtime 'shopping judges' at both the state and Federal level in the lower courts to chalange abortion laws with a barage of legal challenges. The only effective way to stop it ,at the Federal level at least, is for Congress too strip the lower courts of jurisdiction regarding state abortion laws; hey Christian fence sitters!?, still think it's OK to sit out elections because we have to 'settle for the lesser of two evils'? Just look in the scripture and then in the mirror. I believe scripture says that we all fall short of the glory of God. The fight only began when ROE was decided, I doubt that it will end if ROE, BOLTON etc. are over turned.
Don't forget who the real enemy is and on what level we must fight him.

Abortion

  On STR.org there is a very serious discussion about the legal ramifications of abortion being made illegal.
Would it mean capital punishment for anyone who is caught getting an illegal abortion?

Intro

  Since I'm new to blogging, I ask for your patience while I get up to speed; takes a little longer at 58.
Time is a little short at the moment, I'll stick with just a short intro.
 I'm 58, no sense of humor(fell out with my hair, currently 13 left).
 I'm a Christian, Constitutional, Conservative, probably some what to the right of Robert Bork and judge Moore.
 I'm not a strict constructionist though, our Founders were human, that's why they gave us the amendment process.
 I came to faith in Christ in 2000 after studying many of the Founders and their writings. David Barton's book, Original Intent, finally forced me to face who many of our Founders really were and what they believed.
 Over the last four years, the Bible has become the most valuable resource for me (66 books).
 My burden is to see this nation return to it's God ( 'No king but King Jesus'). I completely reject the notion that Christians should not be involved in the political arena, it's time to stand in the gap! We are to overcome and occupy until He returns. God has given me a passion for the political history of this nation and a desire to see to it that doesn't go the way of other nations who have forsaken Him.
 Currently I operate heavey equipment for a living. My job requires me to spend a lot of time on the road, so time is very limited.
 I'm married to God's answer to my prayers for wife, I had to go all the way to Canada to get her though. 
 Any way, God bless our nation and you and yours, I'm looking forward to speaking to all of you out there in blogland, not all at once of course.
