"Signers of the Declaration pledge to "...not comply with any edict that purports to compel our institutions to participate in abortions, embryo-destructive research, assisted suicide and euthanasia, or any other anti-life act,” nor will signers “bend to any rule purporting to force us to bless immoral sexual partnerships” or “treat them as marriages.” The list of backers reads like a who’s who of the pro-life movement, and the document essentially argues that supporters of the movement deserve conscience rights."Read the Newsweek story.

Religious Leaders Warn of Civil Disobedience
Fine, as well they should stand against what they feel is wrong. But will they be consistent and decry and protest the ultimate anti-life act - the death penalty?

I was afraid it might. I didn't post this directed to you. I have been having a conversation with a high school friend of mine who lives in Austria and is a pastor for a prostetant church. I posted it more for him, and also because I feel that some churches do not preach enough against the death penalty. The gay issue was not really the point I was trying to make here, although I think your points are valid. Not to go into a long story now but I have a few issues with some organized religious organizations. My faith is my own, I am a strong believer, and I do practice it. I was brought up partially in a Methodist church in Millville. I love the church, especially the preacher that got too good to continue preaching to such a small flock in Millville and moved on to bigger flocks in the church elsewhere. Why is it that all the good ones go? Anyway, I think I agree with every single word of your comment!
