Disturbing change of position on Abortion. Whats going on?

[brett]

I am quite concerned lately about the strong Pro abortion spirit that seems to be domainating my own nation and the world recently. <br>
<br>
I was VERY dissappointed today to here that one of our main Leaders in our Australian Government - our Treasurer (2nd man after Prime Minister) seems to have rebelled against his normal convictions. What is going on here I don't know - but it has serious consequences. Normally our government is Pro Life and Anti-Abortion - indeed our health minister has been doing all he can to reduce the number of abortions and stop the practise as much as possible. This has been very pleasing to see, except now a rift seems to have developed in the senior ministers of our government and the treasurer has switched to the other side. I was horrified to hear this on the news today. Its distressed me quite a lot and his influence in Australian politics is VERY significant. Only our Prime Minister (John Howard) remains Pro Life, with many still loyal to his line, but many now also influenced by our Treasurerers switch.<br>
<br>
I feel there is a very intense battle going on in the spiritual realm right now in Australia and indeed around the world regarding abortion. Everytime I see it discussed on tv - tempers flare and emotions run wild. Its such a significant issue and till now things have felt secure with our government being Pro Life. Now everything is collapsing and it looks certain that this swap over to the Pro Choice side will most certainly cause a new law that is to be voted on to allow a DIY Abortion drug to be available to the Australian public.<br>
<br>
This is horrifying to me, a drug is going to be available that will let Australians perform their own abortions at home via taking the drug. All they need to do is go to the doctor and get a prescription. <br>
<br>
I feel many are going off the rails morally in the world right now. Evil influences are rising at a pace that I haven't seen before. I am feeling like I am becoming more alone in my own morals and values, this fast changing world seems to be forgetting morals altogether. <br>
<br>
I remember a day when homosexuals were considered weird and homosexuality a sin, these days if you even try to express this - a ton of bricks are thrown on you immediately. I spoke up recently in my own family concerning homosexuality being wrong and I was opposed strongly for my views. No one was on my side. It wasn't like that in the past. Now Abortions are gaining more acceptance and they are becoming accepted as ok. I can feel already that what used to be commonly accepted (traditional) christian values are now considered more fringe (old and "the past", people like me are told they are stuck in the past). It feels to me like the new generation has been corrupted by all the changes that have occurred in my lifetime. The new generation (teenagers of today) seem to have been fed many more wrong values and beliefs than I was, it seems they predominantly support abortion, Euthinasia (spelling?) and homosexuality. Times are changing - I think they've already changed too much.<br>
<br>
All I can say is stand firm and hold to the true values and beliefs you know to be right. Hold to the testimony of Jesus Christ - the truth. I look forward to the 2 witnesses coming to bring light where now there is currently too much darkness.<br>

Don't worry, some of us young people still hold to the traditional Christian values. <p>~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~<br>
