Parental Rights are being threatened everywhere in the U.S..<br /><br />www.ParentalRights.org<br /><br />It's a sad day indeed when we have to amend the Constitution just to secure our God-given rights to parent and to hold marriage between a man and a woman sacred.<br /><br />I LOVE this post!!! :-)Rachel Keppnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193834789450018423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470549157034856112.post-65610467622059688212009-05-30T07:29:35.251-07:002009-05-30T07:29:35.251-07:00Ranee, I agree.

I can't say I would make the same choice, I'm of the opinion that while herbs and such are fabulous for every day, the Lord has inspired modern technology, and I will, with gratitude use the gifts available.<br />This is a sad thing for America, I strikes fear in my heart that at some point, if someone doesn't like what I'm doing, they'll turn me in, and Big Brother will tell me I have to do things their way.<br />Frightening.Jeannettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04852322353661463322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470549157034856112.post-68797353816397375922009-05-29T09:33:05.499-07:002009-05-29T09:33:05.499-07:00I do not agree with the religious ideas that docto...I do not agree with the religious ideas that doctors or bad or that blood transfusions are sin. However, I will defend to the death the right of any family or individual to hold those thoughts. They are not forcing others to avoid medical attention, they are choosing to avoid it themselves or use other methods. <br /><br />On top of that, if it weren't for groups like the Jehovah's Witnesses (with whom I have STRONG theological problems), we wouldn't have the plasma technology and knowledge that we have today. <I>Because</I> enough people were refusing a particular treatment, the medical community had to do more research which eventually benefited others as well.Ranee @ Arabian Knitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236731154217065518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470549157034856112.post-87343849451944623052009-05-27T07:42:22.818-07:002009-05-27T07:42:22.818-07:00I'll tell you what I'd be doing.

I've got numerous friends who don't vaccinate, and would likely opt at least in the beginning to see about alternatives for cancer treatments. I don't understand why personal rights and responsibilities are so undervalued in our society.<br />I prayed too that they wouldn't be found.Jeannettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04852322353661463322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470549157034856112.post-65855263324207768452009-05-26T21:20:31.456-07:002009-05-26T21:20:31.456-07:00Oh but they are speaking up.

What a shame we have to literally run for our lives in this country. I mean really, is the alternative to tie the boy to the examination table and shove meds down his throat? I suppose that's where we are now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00444896414475893411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470549157034856112.post-70381337061533520382009-05-26T19:12:32.329-07:002009-05-26T19:12:32.329-07:00Josh and I have been equally upset about this.
