Letter to PA Governor Josh Shapiro on February 18, 2023

Governor Josh Shapiro
Harrisburg PA

Dear Governor Shapiro:

You just recently went on public record that no prisoner on death row will be executed while you are governor in Pennsylvania. AP reported you as saying, “Today, I am respectfully calling on the General Assembly to work with me to abolish the death penalty once and for all here in Pennsylvania.” You further were quoted as saying that Pennsylvania “should not be in the business of putting people to death.”

On June 24th last year you made this statement, “To the doctors and patients in Pennsylvania who are worried about how this decision will impact them, know that the full force of my office is dedicated to protecting legal access to abortion in our Commonwealth.” I assume you still hold this position as governor of our Commonwealth.

Now then, how do you reconcile your support of abortion with your statement that our state “should not be in the business of putting people to death?” The unborn are persons identified by Almighty God even before conception as revealed in Jeremiah 1:3,4. Also Psalm 139 reveals plainly that God has plans for each conceived child. To terminate the life of an unborn child is an act of shedding innocent blood which God declares to be an act He hates (Proverbs 6).

We are a nation of fools of the first magnitude if we believe Almighty God is not going to make a major response to this abominable practice of killing tens of millions of unborn children for which He had a marvelous plan, and when it happens none of us will want to be around when it takes place!

Letter Sent to Editors of Newspapers on February 9, 2023

Editor:

President Biden’s State of the Union Address had at least one very glaring inconsistency that stood out like a sore thumb! He mentioned the issue of gun violence, loss of life, and the need to ban assault weapons. At another moment he adamantly expressed his support of the abominable practice of abortion and vowed to veto any legislation that attempts to restrict abortion, which now has resulted in over 64.5 million unborn victims of intentional violent mutilation and murder since 1973! What this man along with millions of others fails to realize is that Almighty God, Who had a special purpose for those whom He was forming in the womb (Note Jeremiah 1:3,4 and Psalm 139), will make a response to this massive shedding of innocent blood and it will not be pleasant. None of us will want to be within the borders of this republic when that happens, and it may be sooner than we would want to think! “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.” As stated in Galatians 6:7,8.
