Todd Akin Shouldn’t Step Aside!

Below is an article (and introduction) written by a young black man, Ryan Bomberger, who was conceived as a product of rape by his black father raping his white mother.  God will not allow America (Democrat, Republican, and everything in between) to ignore the key issue that threatens her very existence – abortion!  This upcoming election has nothing to do with, “jobs, Jobs, JOBS.”  It has everything to do with how we care for the “…least of these my brethren.”  God will not allow us to sweep abortion under the rug and make this election about the economy.  It’s not about the economy stupid!

God is the One who made this nation great, and God will be the One to destroy this nation if we do not repent of the killing of His precious preborn children.  Now he is using Todd Akin’s gaff to scare the “hell” out of the Republican Party.  God has brought the dreaded issue – abortion – to the fore once again.  It is the issue that simply will not go away. 

I wonder why?

Regardless of how each of us was conceived, most (if not all in the ________) believe, we are first and foremost children of God. I’m not black, white, rich, poor, or defined by the circumstances from my conception but have an unchangeable identity that is first rooted in the Divine.  Funny how pro-aborts will recognize the humanity of the unborn child when referring to her/him as the “rapist’s child”.  What…not a blob of tissue, or simply some fertilized egg?  Nope.  A “rapist’s baby“.  Even truth slips from their deceptive lips from time to time (as far as the ‘baby’ part of the oft-spoken reference is concerned).  Here is my article, from yesterday morning, on LifeNews about the more-than-Akin-controversy:

As Someone Born After Rape, I Say Todd Akin Shouldn’t Step Aside

by Ryan Bomberger | Washington, DC | LifeNews.com | 8/22/12 1:10 PM

‘Tis the season to be wearing tread marks. Congressman Todd Akins has crawled out from under the bus, brushed himself off and is standing firm.

A few ill-chosen words expressing a more-common-than-acknowledged misunderstanding of a woman’s biological response to rape have caused him and those harmed by such a violent act, without pause, to be thrown under the bus.

http://lifenews.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/RyanBomberger2.png

And, quite frankly, I’m glad such a pro-family, pro-life stalwart, despite a few bumps and lots of scrapes, is not quitting under pressure from hypocritical pro-abortion radicals and spineless Republicans.

Feigned outrage has a familiar sound: indignation, rhetorical distancing and repudiation. It’s come from nearly every corner. But where was this righteous indignation when Joe Biden lied in Flint, Michigan, using rape as a fear appeal, claiming it would increase if the American Jobs Act were not passed?

What about Letterman joking about a NYC visit by Palin and her 14 year old daughter ending in the statutory rape of Willow by MLB celebrity Alex Rodriguez? Where was the condemnation of Whoopi Goldberg who, on The View, defended film director Roman Polanski’s 1977 drugging and rape of a 13 year old as not “rape rape”?

ESPN’s “Gridlock” radio show hosts went unscathed as they laughed along with convicted rapist Mike Tyson’s racist, violent and misogynistic “Wombshifter” interview where he joked about Palin being hypothetically raped by Dennis Rodman (and other black men), “pushing her guts up in the back of her head.”

Or perhaps, it’s just funny when liberal comedians joke about rape: Rainn Wilson (Dwight from NBC’s “The Office”), Sarah Silverman (who also recently joked about getting a “quickie aborsh”, a real knee-slapper), or most recently Daniel Tosh. Last month, Tosh began telling rape jokes to a not-so-thrilled crowd.

He responded to a female heckler telling her how funny it would be if “she were raped by 5 guys right now.” There’s just something so hilarious about rape that these celebrities invoked no outrage from the “War on Women” crowd.

Or perhaps, Politico, the online news source that (laughingly) claims to bring balance to political news didn’t infuriate the same anti-Akin mob by inexplicably posting Playboy’s “Top 10 Conservative Women We Hate to Love” (warning: extremely graphic and vulgar screenshot of repulsive article). They didn’t fire former CNN/Washington Post/Politico Columnist Anne Schroeder Mullins for using Politico in a repugnant attack against conservative women with the porn giant’s rape fantasy. She left a year later to start a PR firm.  There’s just so much irony in this left-leaning news outlet’s present article entitled, “Akin’s Comments ‘Positively Medieval’?”.

As one born as a result of rape, I feel those who demanded that Congressman Akin step down allow the pro-abortion narrative to remain…that those born of rape aren’t deserving of life and that it’s somehow compassionate to push a woman, so horribly violated, toward abortion.

Despite the media’s predictable liberal advocacy of abortion (in all cases), what’s missing is the intriguing real outcome of the horrific act of rape and pregnancy that may result. Why do 50% of women who’ve been so violated choose to carry to term? Why do nearly 6% place their child (yes, not the “rapists’ child”) for adoption? Why do many choose to parent?

This is something worth better understanding from those who’ve experienced this trauma.  As always, mainstream media treats people groups as monolithic without ever bothering to discover what people actually believe or do. They instinctively and gleefully paint pro-life support of children born of rape as “extreme” thereby attempting to silence any discussion.

Woman 20 Weeks Pregnant With Twins Has Abortion Last Week

This article (via LifeNews.com) was forwarded to us by Michelle Sochia. She and her husband Dale have been such a blessing to those faced with the horrible choice of abortion. Many have chosen “life” as a result of their ministry in New Orleans. Several have come to know the liberty found only in Christ, that sets the captive free.

This article came out last week and I haven’t stopped thinking about it … maybe you can forward to your friends to raise awareness to those who don’t realize what is happening in our country. I agree with this writer …. what about co-workers, friends, families … is everyone’s heart so hardened that they say nothing?? This woman clearly had other options and help available to her, but chose to kill her twin daughters anyway. A picture is worth a thousand words … after seeing her picture I was literally nauseated and still am. How can the clinic workers even sleep at night? I am a nurse and leave work affected by my patients and what they are going through that day … you can’t help but be moved by people and I often pray with them and go home and pray for them. How can someone’s heart be so hard that she is not moved by the murder of innocent babies? How can we live in a country that “okays” the murder of preborn babies and actually make it legal? Jesus, help our nation! Open the eyes of those that are so blinded and deceived! Please forgive us! The blood of all the murdered babies cries out! We cry out Lord in repentance of our nation! Please forgive us! May America and the world fall to their knees in repentance and make You the Lord of their lives!

Rev. Benham to Get New Trial on Charges He stalked a Doctor

Here is a front page story in the “Local and State” section of the Charlotte Observer from Wednesday, August 22, 2012.  Thank God that no matter how good or how bad a story is, it keeps the cause of Christ and His precious preborn children on the front burner in the minds of the citizens in Charlotte.  Through your presence here during our National Event in July, and your prayers since that time, the airwaves in Charlotte and local media outlets have been filled with the exploits of God’s Church storming the gates of hell.  This is just one more story.

Please note that in the story you will find that our attorney’s fought hard to prevent a “wanted” poster, covered with swastikas, a George Tiller Picture on it, and the number 30,000,000 in the middle, from being entered into evidence.  It was a poster that none of us had ever seen before and never would have used.  We did not know if it was ever used in Wichita.  We did not know if any pro-life group or pro-choice group drew it up.  We knew absolutely nothing about it.  Yet Judge Turner allowed it in as evidence anyway.  Why?

Why would a judge allow something like this into evidence?  Because he knew very well that the poster we did distribute, “Wanted by Christ to Stop Killing Babies!” would never be construed as a “threat” to anyone.  The prosecution knew this too.  Unbelievably, the three Appeals Court Judges wrote, “The ‘wanted poster’ (Tiller’s) was relevant and its probative value outweighed any prejudicial effect.”  Sure its probative.  It prejudices everything else.

Of course it’s “probative value” (probative means to prove) was going to get them a conviction.  It totally prejudiced the jury against us.  Without this shocking “wanted” poster, the state’s case would have been shown for what it really was.  Another failed attempt to remove the Gospel of Christ from the highways and byways of our city.          

Here’s the story via the Charlotte Observer:

Anti-abortion minister to get new trial on charges he stalked doctor

On appeal, conviction of anti-abortion leader in 2011 negated on technicality

By Gary L. Wright

Posted: Wednesday, Aug. 22, 2012

 

The Rev. Phillip “Flip” Benham, an anti-abortion activist convicted in 2011 of stalking a Charlotte doctor, has been granted a new trial.

The N.C. Court of Appeals on Tuesday ordered the new trial after ruling that the judge in Benham’s trial made a mistake in instructing jurors before they began deliberations.

Benham, director of the Concord-based Operation Save America, was convicted in July 2011 of stalking a Charlotte doctor by distributing “posters with abortion doctors’ names and photos. He was accused of passing out hundreds of posters that said: “Wanted…by Christ, to Stop Killing Babies.”

He was placed on probation for 18 months and ordered to stay clear of Dr. ______’s home neighborhood and remain 500 feet from the three clinics where the doctor works.

Superior Court Judge Joseph Turner had instructed jurors that to find Benham guilty of stalking, the prosecution had to prove that the anti-abortion activist placed Dr.  ______  in fear for his safety and the safety of his family.

Benham, in appealing his conviction, argued that the warrant charging him with stalking made no mention of ______’s family. The warrant only alleged that Benham had placed ______ in fear.

“The jury was instructed to find defendant guilty on a theory not included in the warrant,” the appeals court judges wrote in ordering the new trial. “The defendant was unable to prepare for trial on the theory that Dr. ______ was placed in fear for his family.”

But Benham said he’s not happy with the appeals court’s ruling. It has given him a new trial, he said, but has taken away his freedom of speech.

“What I do isn’t stalking,” Benham told the Observer Tuesday. “I’m exercising my First Amendment rights as a Christian to expose what is evil. This stalking law is devastatingly dangerous to free speech.

“They’ve gutted the First Amendment. We go all around the country and do this. We go to the abortionists’ homes, their practices and the abortion mills … . They want to censure the Gospel’s message. They want to get us off the streets. They want to silence our message.”

Benham, in appealing his stalking conviction, had also accused the judge of making a mistake when he allowed the prosecution to introduce evidence about a case that involved a “wanted” poster for a doctor who performed abortions in Wichita, Kan. That doctor, George Tiller, was shot to death in his church by an anti-abortion activist in 2009.

Benham argued that the evidence about Tiller was irrelevant and unduly inflammatory.

The appeals court judges disagreed. The “wanted” poster was relevant, they ruled, and its probative value outweighed any prejudicial effect.

Several doctors have been killed after similar fliers were distributed in other cities. In 1993, Dr. George Patterson was killed in Mobile, Ala., and Dr. David Gunn was killed in Pensacola, Fla. His replacement, Dr. John Britton, was gunned down a year later.

“Dr. ______ was concerned because other doctors had been murdered after similar WANTED posters were distributed prior to their deaths,” the appeals court ruling said. “The State’s purpose for introducing the Tiller poster was to show that Dr. ______’s fear regarding the WANTED poster bearing his photograph, name and information was reasonable.

“______ was a doctor who performed abortions … It was relevant for the jury to learn that the wanted posters in the past resulted in violence.”

Miraculous Vindication for a Contender of the Faith

This article written by Lisa Metzger, wife of Mark and home school mom of ten children, sums up the thoughts of most of us who attended Flip’s trial this past Friday, August 10, 2012.  God’s hand was so very evident in all of the proceedings in the courtroom that day.

 

Miraculous Vindication for a Contender of the Faith

“The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD; He turns it wherever He wishes.” ~ Proverbs 21:1

 As we read in Scripture, God directs and rules over those in authority. This past Friday, the Heavenly Judge directed a lowly mortal judge to rule in favor of a man of God.

 Flip Benham had been erroneously convicted of stalking a Charlotte abortionist in July 2011, which has since been appealed and is awaiting a verdict by the appellate court. When the State’s prosecution filed a revocation of bond late last month, during the Operation Save America National Event, Flip was summoned to the Mecklenburg County Courthouse to defend his right to remain free on bond. Claiming that Flip violated the terms of his post-conviction release, the wording of the prosecution’s motion appeared to have already solidified the grim fate of this hearing. There seemed no way out of this legal snare.

Though all seemed bleak initially, God supplied a man for such a time as this. No longer did Flip need to rely on a public defender that lacked the spiritual conviction to argue such a case. David Redding, a commercial litigation attorney and Benham family friend, was called by his Savior to serve as a temporary criminal defender, just for this hearing.  

On the morning of the bond revocation hearing, many of Flip’s friends, family and supporters arrived at the courthouse to pray for Flip’s exoneration, while many covered him in prayer from a distance. Though he trusted God for His Will to be accomplished, Flip realistically presumed that he would be leaving that courthouse in handcuffs to spend the next 75 days in the Mecklenburg County Jail.

Despite testimony from multiple accusers, including some who lied under oath, a very frustrated judge was lawfully obligated to rule in Flip’s favor. Why? Directed by God, Attorney David Redding found a statute in North Carolina that states: “A judge authorizing release of a defendant under this section must issue an appropriate order containing a statement of the conditions imposed, if any; inform the defendant in writing of the penalties applicable to violations of the conditions of his release; and advise him that his arrest will be ordered immediately upon any such violation. The order of release must be filed with the clerk and a copy given the defendant.”

During the initial sentencing, this same judge failed to serve Flip with written terms of his post-conviction release on bond. Therefore, Flip had no knowledge as to the specific conditions and stipulations of his bond, and therefore could not adhere to those specifications. In addition, Flip was never arrested for violating the conditions of the bond, which means that he was never observed in defiance of such, even though an officer testified that 50-100 percent of a city’s police force was present during the alleged violations.

Miraculously, these God-ordained details allowed for this unforeseen victory in an earthly court of law. God saw fit to use a Christian litigation attorney and a previously overlooked legal statute to vindicate a man of God who faithfully contends for the Gospel of Jesus Christ on the streets of the City of Charlotte.

 

“I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people.” ~ Jude 3

London’s Main Newspaper Picks Up Viral Video

The Telegraph is London, England’s largest Newspaper.  It is a very liberal.  Yet even this yellow rag was shocked at the rant of Adam Smith towards a young lady at Chick-fil-A, and abortionist Ron Virmani’s tirade against “ugly black babies.”  Amazing that The Telegraph would expose the hatred that exists on the part of the left towards those on the right. 

Why are those on the left filled with such culpable rage?  The Bible tells us in Genesis 3:15, when God places his curse upon the devil:  “And I will put enmity (hatred) between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; He will crush your head, and you will strike His heal.”  It is the battle between two seeds (the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman) that is savaging this world throughout the Bible and the pages of history.

It manifested itself most recently through the persons of Adam Smith and Ron Virmani.  All the world can see that it is really God that they hate.      ~ Flip

That’s a Christian!

Our good friends at Jeremiah’s Call came to be with us at the court house for my bond revocation hearing.  They took some video of the media interviewing me.  Here is a little two minute excerpt from that interview.  We could not give you the Channel 14 video because the abortionist’s name and picture appeared on the news clip at several different points.  We are not allowed to post the name of the abortionist on our website.

Enjoy! ~ Flip
