Plan seeks to make
abortion basic right
If someone forced you to pay for
the production and distribution of
child pornography, wouldn’t you be
upset? They may tell you that it
doesn’t matter if you think child
pornography is wrong and immoral
-you have to pay for it anyway.
That would be an outrage!
President Clinton’s health plan
which seeks to make abortion
rights a part of basic universal
coverage is no less an outrage.
Those of us who see abortion as
an immoral act would be forced to
participate in the violent act which
ends a life every time it is
performed. Would our government
purposefully disregard the religious
beliefs of millions of Americans
Ministry will teach proper
dieting and weight loss
Rehoboth Baptist Church is be
ginning a new ministry called
"First Pl&ce" which seeks to teach
people proper dieting and to encour
age them in weight loss.
This new program places individ
uals in a support group that will of
fer weekly instruction and counsel
ing, and it incorporates personal
Bible study and spiritual growth as
a part of the program.
Millions of dollars are spent an
nually on weight loss in the United
States. Many programs promise
quick weight loss, magical
gimmicks, pills, etc. The First
Place program at Rehoboth will
seek to contradict those plans which
make persons lose weight too
quickly which is unhealthy and
usually temporary. First Place will
teach people the proper balance of
dieting and exercise, and Bible stud

Participation is open to all
interested persons, regardless of
church membership, an orientation
meeting will be held Sunday, July
17 at S p.m. at the church building.

politicians such as Pat Schreoder?
Given the track record of our
President, I think the answer is
clear.
The debate of including abortion
as a part of the universal coverage
of health care is a definite example
of why Christians ought to be
feverishly involved in politics. For
us, conservative Christians to sit
by quietly and allow this greatest
sin against children to take place is
tantamount to committing the act
ourselves.
Our President is on record as
believing abortions should be “safe,

President does not realize, however,
is that just because abortions are
legal does not mean that they are
rare. And it certainly doesn’t
guarantee that they are safe.
What if Jesus lived in Perry,
Ga.? Do you think he would sit
idly by and watch a Congress pass a
health reform bill that makes
abortion a basic right? Could you
imagine Jesus Christ quoting the
scriptures on one occasion and then
on another occasion stating that he
thought the violent death of an
unborn child ought to be safe,
legal, and rare? I don’t think so,
and I believe our congressmen
ought to hear from us.
