Out of the depths I cry to You, O LORD! O LORD, hear my voice;
let Your ears be attentive to my plea for mercy."
(Psalm 130:1-2)

"And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them. Yea, they
sacrificed their sons and daughters unto devils, and shed innocent blood,
even the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed unto
idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood. Thus, they were
defiled with their own works and went a-whoring with their own inventions."
(Psalm 106:36-39)
According to a recent email from Marie Tasy, Executive Director of NJ Right To Life,
New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill has allotted $52 million dollars for family planning
and "reproductive health access" a.k.a. abortion services. This includes access to
controversial abortion pills being sold through the mail or over the counter
in pharmacies across the state.
Like her predecessor Phil Murphy, newly- elected Governor Sherrill is known
as a "reproductive health champion" and for her loyalty to the Democratic
Party's extreme abortion platform. Apparently she sees nothing wrong in
sticking it to the already overburdened New Jersey tax payers, making them foot
the bill for government-instituted free abortions and abortion-related services,
regardless of the patient's ability to pay.
According to Mrs. Tasy, at the same time, our state is facing a $3 billion dollar deficit,
caused by rising Medicaid costs, pension obligations, and out-of-control spending.
Residents are already saddled with sky high property taxes and record high living costs.
I wonder if this is the reason why I am seeing more and more houses up for sale.
"Thus, they were defiled with their own works..."
Over the last eight years, Planned Parenthood has taken more than $268 million
in New Jersey taxpayer dollars. Now, this organization and others like them,
are calling the shots in Trenton, dictating public policy, crafting legislation,
and benefiting... polluting the land with blood.
"Instead of focusing on education, infrastructure, and fiscal responsibility,
writes Mrs. Tasy, Governor Sherrill is prioritizing funding abortion providers."
Yet, could the record 59,830 abortions performed last year in our state have
been avoided, if the women involved had been given an alternative choice?
One that not only involved compassionate and non-judgmental counseling
services (which would also include the father of the child), excellent health
care for both the mother and the child, but more importantly, access to
the latest in ultrasound technology, where, unless they are legally blind,
the mother and father can see their baby's heartbeat on the screen.
With all the recent allegations and horror stories emerging from the
investigation centering around convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein,
there is an overwhelming need for responsible and moral leadership
in government today, men and women who not only realize that they
stand accountable to God and the people they serve in their role as public
servants, but will make the protection of the most vulnerable members
of society, our precious children, one of their top priorities.
Especially those being targeted in the womb.
The Lord reminds us in Luke 12:7, "Indeed, even the very hairs
of your head are all numbered."
He will not forget the number of unborn children in America
murdered through abortion.
"Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against His people,
insomuch that He abhorred His own inheritance. And He gave them
into the hands of the heathen; and they that hated them, and they
were brought into subjection under their hand."
(Psalm 106:40-42)
Israel sacrificing their children to Moloch

Whenever Israel rebelled and stood in defiance to God, He
withdrew from the land and with Him went His providence and
protection. He abhorred "His own inheritance" and allowed them,
through their own free will, to choose spiritual bondage in service
to other gods, the gods they chose for themselves, ending in
disastrous consequences for the nation.
America has reached her 250th year. How much longer will God allow the land
called, "One Nation Under God" to indulge in this most heinous national sin?
Perhaps we should consider changing the words of the Pledge of Allegiance,
from "and justice for all" to "and justice for some"?
