(continued from above) .... I had arranged to meet an old friend for a bite to eat that evening, after the day’s events had drawn to a close. I traveled again by subway to another part of the City and after a long tiring journey I entered the upscale NW DC establishment that my friend runs and made the acquaintance of the barkeep who shook my hand and asked if I was in town for the festivities. Indeed, in the city of Washington DC, there seemed at times to be a giddy, somewhat festive attitude in the air, stemming largely form the events surrounding Mr. Obama’s inauguration on Tuesday. I assumed that the barkeep was referring to these festivities and not to the reason for my visit to our nation’s Capital. Regardless, these two brief moments have stuck in my mind about that day and I fi nd them hard to shake. VICTORY! … festivities? No matter who you may have voted for in this election and no matter your opinions one way or another, Mr. Obama is indeed our new President. May God protect him and preserve him for many years. No doubt there will be some positive outcomes while he is in office and may the Lord guide his every move. However, there is clearly NO VICTORY when our nation’s most voiceless, those preborn citizens of the USA face the very real likelihood of assault. This assault is in the form of the proposed Freedom of Choice Act (F.O.C.A.) which Mr. Obama has promised will be an early priority of his administration. The Freedom of Choice Act is perhaps the most radical social legislation in decades. Briefly, F.O.C.A. is a bill that would invalidate any statute, ordinance, regulation, administrative order, decision, practice or policy of any federal, state or local government or governmental official that would deny or interfere with an abortionist performing an abortion (PFHL Newsletter)
