On Yet Another Roe Anniversary, The Manhattan Declaration Reaffirms Life

Tomorrow, January 22nd, is the 37th anniversary of the infamous Roe vs. Wade and Doe vs. Bolton abortion decisions. Since the essentially unrestricted right to abortion was legalized by the U.S. Supreme Court, including for reasons of safeguarding a woman's mental health, an estimated 50 million unborn children have been aborted in the U.S.

On Friday, we remember the untold millions of lives lost in America's national holocaust and contemplate what contributions and impact these lives could have made in our nation, had they only been given the precious gift of life. The right-to-life is, of course, guaranteed as the first unalienable right endowed to us by our Creator. Sadly, our U.S. legal system has violated its own organic law in the misguided pursuit of enshrining a woman's illusory Constitutional right to choose death for her children. May we, in time, overturn this terrible travesty of justice and common decency.

On a related note, The Manhattan Declaration is an eloquent statement by Orthodox, Catholic, and evangelical Christians who have united at this hour to reaffirm fundamental truths about the sanctity of human life, marriage, and religious liberty.

We at OFPC call upon all our fellow citizens, believers and non-believers alike, to join us in supporting and defending them. You can read and add your name in support of the Manhattan Declaration at http://www.manhattandeclaration.org/.

Glenn Beck to Broadcast Key Documentary Friday

Broadcaster Glenn Beck will air an important new documentary, The Revolutionary Holocaust: Live Free ... or Die, on the Fox News Channel at 4 p.m. tomorrow, Friday, Jan. 22.

The Beck documentary chronicles the estimated over 100 million people killed by their own governments in the 20th Century by revolutionary Communist leaders such as Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Pol-Pot, Che Guevara, Castro, etc. People, who were once commonly despised as bloodthirsty killers, are now widely promoted by celebrities and impressionable students as trendy change-agents worthy of praise.

Beck will also explain the ties between these Communist revolutionaries who brought political change by violence and their cousin 20th and 21st Century political Progressives (and thinkers such as Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci) who sought (and seek) similar political goals, but who have rejected violence and advance their agenda by evolutionary, peaceful change over a long period of time.

Because much of real American or world history is no longer taught in the public schools, or is revisionistic, it is more important than ever for citizens (and older students) to understand where we have been, the past, and where we may be going, the future. Beck's documentary is must see TV.

NOTE: because of the disturbing, graphic nature of real 20th Century history, it is best that younger children not be permitted to see the documentary. However; for high school students and adults, it is important teaching we need to see and understand. If you miss the 4 p.m. airing, it is rebroadcast again (in Oklahoma City on Cox Channel 44) at 1 a.m. It may also be rebroadcast again over the weekend. In the near term, it will NOT be available for purchase as a separate DVD, so you must record it if you wish to have it in your library.
