Davis: What is Life Worth?

Last week one of my faithful subscribers invited me to join him and others outside an abortion clinic in Columbia.  We were there to pray and to serve as a visual statement that some people care.  We may not be able to gauge the value of our time and efforts this side of eternity, but I know it was important for us to be there.


I was told that this clinic was shut down for 13 weeks because they could not find an abortionist interested in administering this practice.  Regardless of the reasons, wouldn't it be great if they shut down because there was no demand for their services?

Instead of waiting for a legislative remedy, these people are doing something right now to make a statement that we care about life and death situations.  I applaud all of them for taking the time to show human compassion and alternative solutions beyond destroying our dignity.

I especially applaud the four priests who attended.  There is something very refreshing about seeing spiritual leaders who are willing to stand with their parishioners for a just cause.  I have been told that members of the clergy were largely responsible for our victory in the War for Independence.  You can read such stories using the following links: Clergymen Who Preached Independence and Clergy and Our Constitutional Foundation

Without a vision the people perish, but without leaders, the vision perishes.  Many pastors today are unengaged and even dismissive of political involvement.  It's no wonder our country is going down the tubes.  As we try to analyze what is wrong with our legislators, it is apparent that the legislators are a fairly accurate reflection of the voters.  Many voters make bad decisions because most churches fail to teach principles of good government to their congregations.  We desperately need men of God to stand up and model Biblical principles to their people.  This happened last week.


Your Thoughts are important to me, so let me know what your pastor is doing to lead your church to find solutions to the moral decay that is bankrupting our governments. You can send me your opinion by clicking here: Cynthia Davis

The Y.O.U.N.G. Conservatives of America Video

Last week's Capitol Report was about the award conferred upon the most constitutional legislator.  Hint to my fellow legislators:  If you vote in accordance with constitutional principles, you may win this award next year and our state's financial problems will be solved!  If you want to see the video of part of the event, you can click here:  Most Constitutional Legislator Award

A Little Bit of Humor: The Ten Commandments

The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments in a Courthouse: You cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery," and "Thou Shalt Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians! It creates a hostile work environment!
