Abortion
Fact Sheet
From Summit Ministries. A one-pager, with quotes,
resources, bibliography and organizations.
Abortion:
Politically Correct Death
By Francis Beckwith. Answers arguments
put forth by abortionists.
Abortion: Question &
Answer
By Dr. Jack Wilke and his wife Barbara. An entire book being
put on-line by Ohio Right to Life.
If You Call Yourself Pro-Life, Who Did You Vote for in 1996?
Of
Lettuces and Cow-Humans
By
Dr. Carl
Wieland, in Creation Ex Nihilo, 9(4): 27-30. "If you don't
think there are Frankensteins sitting in the world's laboratories playing God, I
think you don't really understand what's going on."
Pretzel Logic
From
Breakpoint by Chuck Colson. Sacrificing euthanasia to save abortion?
The TRUTH About the
Legal Status of Abortion
From U.S.T.P. vice-presidental candidate
Herb Titus. The amazingly simple fact - as anyone familiar with
the Constitution should already know - is that abortion is still illegal and Roe
v. Wade in no way affects the laws that have been on the books since before the
infamous decision. This is not rocket science, folks.
Ultimate Pro-Life Resource
List
Bills itself as "The most comprehensive listing of right
to life resources on the internet."
When Does Human Life
Begin?
Excellent article on the continuing reductions in the age of "viability,"
when a child can survive outside the womb.
Suggested Reading: I recommend Dr. Bernard Nathanson's book, The Hand of God; Dr. Nathanson is the former abortionist who killed over thirty thousand children and co-founded the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL, the chief pro-abort group). Like Carol Everett (the former abortion mill franchise owner), he awoke to what he was doing and has become a pro-life leader (and later a Christian).

Christianity and Political Correctness
Creation and the

Impact #271, by Dorothy E. Kreiss Robbins.
Where do you think you get your "inalienable rights" from if not God?

coincided with evolutionism?

The Mayflower
Compact
From the Michigan website of the U.S. Taxpayers Party.
A Missing Amendment to the U.S. Constitution?
The New State
Religion: Atheism
Impact #257, by Dr. Jerry Bergman. In
case you hadn't noticed, the First Amendment prohibition against the
establishment of a national religion has been effectively trashed and for most
intents and purposes we now have a State Religion to whom all must pay fealty.
Try to practice any other religion publicly and the New Inquisition, the ACLU,
will be on your back faster than lightning...
Nuremburg

Breakpoint article by Chuck Colson. Should doctors be
required to get permission before experimenting on your body?...

By Phil Lancaster.

Breakpoint article by Chuck Colson.
Tax Dollars
and Little Green Men
From ChristianAnswers.Net. Millions of
taxpayer dollars have been used by evolutionists on their pet projects. It's
one thing to believe in something and support it with your own money, but should
government really be forcing people to support all kinds of projects they may be
opposed or indifferent to?
Thanksgiving
From
ChristianAnswers.Net. Many children today are taught the Pilgrims at Plymouth
Rock were giving thanks to the Indians for their help. Who were they really
thanking? Hint: what do you think "pilgrim" means in the first place?

Your Children
Should Be Government Chattel
At least, that's what so-called "experts"
and folks like Hilary Clinton preach. This article summarizes events like the
government-mandated mass child molestation incident in Pennsylvania in 1995
(What!? Your local liberal news media forgot to tell you about that??) and a
Government raid on a home-schooling family. Whatever gave you the idea that you
have responsibility for your children?...

Stalin's Brutal Faith

Does
the State Have a Compelling Interest?
By Samuel Blumenfeld.
Educational
Tyranny: HR 1617
Are you a being created by God, of infinite worth
with inalienable rights? Or an economic resource to be manipulated "for
the good of the [Almighty] State"? HR 1617, passed in 1995, provides a
frightening glimpse into the Orwellian world of what we might call
hyper-communism...
The Freedom
Movement
By Samuel Blumenfeld.
Home Schooling
Sites

Tangled Web
By
Joseph Esposito. Congress has already passed "school-to-work"
legislation that mandates federal government command and control of the economy
- and your career. From what I can tell, this is the system that would
have made Isaac Einstein a janitor for his entire life. Think communism is
dead? What's that I see heading our way?

to be the hottest new gourmet dish in parts of China.) "If you don't think
there are Frankensteins sitting in the world's laboratories playing God, I think
you don't really understand what's going on."

I first heard of the U.S.T.P. when
hard-headed Washington political commentator Jane Chastain did an editorial
commentary for Crawford Broadcasting Co. Jane was absolutely gushing with
enthusiasm for this party and the heroic stand it is taking. Please understand,
Jane never gushes about anything! This is the party worthy of the
mantle of the Founders of the American Republic, and none other. They are
our last, best chance for a peaceful return to a Constitutional Republic.

Children Being

Report on the resurgence of slavery in Sudan, where 3

genocide since 1992. Excuse me, secular media, where are you? How many died in
Bosnia-Herzegovinia? A quarter million?...

Obviously, it should come as no surprise
that this state, ruled by fanatical Islamicists, is trying to stamp out
Christians.
The Karen of Burma
The Karen tribesmen
of Burma have waged the longest struggle for freedom in this century. Learn
more about this largely Christian minority and the war crimes committed against
them by the evil SLORC government. And what's with the treachery of the
Buddhist Karen? (Learn more at the

Sudan:
Widespread Enslavement and Gunpoint "Conversions" to Islam
From
a U.S. Government report. Did you think classical slavery had died out? Can
you imagine being a refugee and being deliberately starved by government
authorities withholding food because you will not renounce Christ and adopt
Islam? Since the establishment of a brutal Islamic military government,
southern Christians and other non-Islamic peoples have faced severe oppression.
Civil war has only made matters worse, with the rebels no better than the
government and private Islamic zealots. In the meantime, the Clinton
administration consistently looks the other way, as the Bush administration did
before them. Why are Clinton and Bush so eager to spend millions and
American blood helping Muslims in Somalia, Kuwait and Bosnia - while pointedly
ignoring much greater Christian suffering elsewhere?
Other Sudan links: The Islamic Gulag: Slavery Makes a Comeback in Sudan, Amnesty International Criticism: Where is the UN in Sudan??, U.S. State Department Report(Filled with detailed information and examples, see part "C" for persecution.) Since our government knows what is going on, why doesn't it act with the same initiative as it does for other (i.e., oil-rich and/or Islamic) areas?

Why Does Islam
Persecute Christianity?
By Patrick Sookhdeo. When Christians treat
others poorly for their misguided religious beliefs (such as the Crusades), it
is a direct violation the God's law and biblical teaching.
Unfortunately the same is not true of the Koran and the doctrine of Jihad, holy
war against the infidel.

Quick Quiz: What Right-Wing Extremist Said the Following to Congress?
"Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence. From the hour the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events occurences and tendencies prove that to ensure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable. The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good."
