NH fails to protect unborn

Last week, the NH legislature failed to pass a fetal protection bill. The bill was introduced as the result of a motor vehicle accident where a drunk driver ran a red light at 100 mph, slammed into a taxi killing the passenger. The driver of the taxi was 7 months pregnant and the baby was delivered by emergency c-section. The lived for two weeks before eventually succumbing to his injuries. The driver of the car was convicted on two counts of vehicular homicide. The second count was overturned by the NH Supreme Court because there was no applicable law that would allow for the conviction. The court opened the door for the legislature to define what the law should look like and the legislature drew up a bill and brought it to a vote. It went down 219-122.

We have reached a point in our state where we can't even protect a child where they should be the safest. It is no wonder God is lifting His hand of protection from our country.

Proclaiming truth in a postmodern world

Truth is not subjective. The great thing about truth is that is either true or it isn't. If my version of the truth and yours differ, than there are three options; my version is correct, your version is correct, or both versions are wrong. The one impossibility is that both versions are true. Unfortunately, we have been treated to a steady diet of teachers telling us that your truth may work for you, however that truth may not work for someone else and both are valid.

This type of thinking is prevalent especially when talking about spirituality and belief systems. There are several versions of the "all roads lead to Heaven" type of teaching being circulated and there is a large mass of people looking to have their ears filled with what they want to hear. Spirituality has been relegated to the realm of objectiveness where truth doesn't matter as long as you have sincere faith in your beliefs. Therein lies the problem.
