I bet they wouldn't do this during a lightening storm!:

Iowa Democrat prayer: Thank God for abortionists!

Hey, this could be progress.  About time last year, the Democratic National Convention booed when the platform committee tried to backtrack and add a mention of God that had been earlier removed.  In Iowa, at least Democrats have gone back to openly praying, but perhaps they should be hoping that God isn’t listening:

They made the unusual decision, for Democrats, to begin the event with a prayer. This was likely in response to a prayer vigil being conducted by pro-life activists at the same time nearby.

Des Moines activist Midge Slater took the podium and spent five and a half minutes thanking God for abortion rights, abortion doctors and taxpayer funding for abortions. She also referred to the decision to have an abortion as “a blessing”.

During the entire prayer, State Senator Jack Hatch and Rep. Tyler Olson, both of whom are running for governor, kept their heads bowed and eyes closed, joining in the group prayer.

The Iowa Republican transcribed a bit of the prayer, which goes on for quite a while:

“We give thanks, oh Lord, for the doctors, both current and future, who provide quality abortion care.”

“We pray for increased financial support for low-income women to access contraception, abortion and childcare.”

“Today, we pray for women in developing nations, that they may know the power of self-determination. May they have access to employment, education, birth control and abortion.”

“Today we pray for the families who have chosen. May they know the blessing of choice.”

Here’s my favorite part, very obviously aimed at the pro-life demonstrators:

“We pray for women who have been made afraid by their paternalistic religion.”

Afraid? For feminists, they don’t seem to have much faith in women to decide for themselves whether to live as Christians and follow its tenets without fear forcing them into it.  However, based on this prayer for blessings on abortions and the demand to spread it worldwide, I’d guess that they’re less interested in faith than they are in their own political agendas anyway.

Am I the only one who finds it strange that they would pray for abortions? I saw some liberal hag on TV the other day touting "reproductive health". I must be living in some kind of time warp but I had never heard that abortions were part of women's "reproductive health."In my mind I don't think I ever connected abortion and health except in if the woman's life is compromised by the pregnancy. This supposed "war on women" bullcrap needs to stop. If you, personally, want to help your neighbor pay for birth control or an abortion, go over and knock on the door and open your wallet but for the govt to pay for it with taxpayers money is a no go in my book.

Ok if Planned Parenthood pays for it?    Or NARAL?   Or private insurence?

Rape or incest?   Bear the child?   Hopelessly deformed or undeveloped fetus?   Hold on for nine months?

Twelve or thirteen year old?   Figure out a way to raise that child?

I love aborted fetus... tastes like chicken.
