The Face of God in the Child Waiting to Be Born?
by Cathy Ruse

President Obama’s speech this morning at the National Prayer Breakfast included a moving litany about looking in the eyes of every different kind of person and in each seeing the face of God. They should’ve scheduled a Q & A! What should we see when we look through the screen of an ultrasound machine at the sweet little closed eyes of a baby? It would be impossible for President Obama to answer that question in any way that would not utterly undercut the central theme of his speech. And “above my pay grade” would be the worst answer.
A word to the White House image mavens: The rank hypocrisy here will be clear to the majority of Americans who are pro-life, and no doubt to many in the minority who are not.

Mr. Obama talks about looking into the eyes of every different kind of person and in each seeing the face of God. Keeping in mind his extreme pro-abortion stance and his goal to ration health care to the elderly and the handicapped/disabled, are we then to look at his list of those “unworthy of life” and expect it’s next addition to be God?
I would urge Mr. Obama to use caution–he just may not recognize the face of God!
