But alas, we couldn't.  It occurred to us that at THAT time he was working with some seasoned terrorists trying to figure out how to do great damage to it.

We are thankful for the 22nd amendment.

There is still an organized effort to marginalize the sanctity of life, and its results are seen with the decaying values of those areas controlled by the minions of deceit. While the leftist women cry about their "V" rights being infringed, we still need to stand up for the lives they would so easily snuff out.  Right To Life of Michigan sends an update for Thanksgiving.

During this time of Thanksgiving, I want to give you an update on the work of Right to Life of Michigan and to thank you for your involvement.

Together our accomplishments have changed hearts and brought hope to our state.

• In 2013, five Michigan abortion businesses closed their doors. We have helped close 10 abortion businesses in the last 23 months. Back in the late 1980's, there were approximately 72 free-standing abortion clinics operating in our state. Today, only 28 remain.
  
• We are very close to "opting out" of mandatory abortion provisions found in the Affordable Care Act. Together we collected more than 316,000 signatures to initiate the Abortion Insurance Opt-Out Act.  
  
• Michigan abortions performed in 2012 represent the second-lowest level since official record-keeping began back in 1976.
  
• Teen abortions are down 73 percent since 1990.
  
• Overall, we have cut the abortion rate in Michigan by more than half since the peak year of 1987.

While it is exciting to note a few of our accomplishments for 2013, we know our work is far from complete.

God has given us life, freedom, and all manner of other blessings. Not the least of which might be the ability to communicate with others among us.

Sometimes it may seem that as hard as we try, we have trouble getting ahead, or perhaps even getting caught up.  The economy has been hard on many of us.

As my wife and I examine what used to be a higher income, a position that afforded us a couple extra nights out and maybe an opportunity for escape from the daily grind, we see that there is more than the perks of wealth available to us.

We are not hungry.  Yet we must work a little harder to keep the roof over our heads.  Family is even more important, and humility paramount.  It is harder, yet it is not hardship.

Because we continue to strive.  Because we believe there can be better days for all, and we continue to work toward that end.  We will persevere, and in doing so will maintain the faith that what we NEED is always before us, with us, and available.  For as hard as we work, none of what we have would be available but for the grace of God.

Our faith can provide much that our hands cannot.

And we give thanks.

Our gifts have also included great fellowships, here, and in our political and personal efforts stemming from our desire to remain free, and forever thankful.

Today I thank God for all that has blessed and touched our lives, and for your continued presence in this community.  You are not taken for granted.

We wish you a

And THANK YOU for being here.

I would like to extend a thank you to the readers (and contributors!!) of RightMichigan, whether you agree with all or not.  We have at least had a voice.

My voice, enjoys the same protections as others and is projected freely because of the protections afforded it by our constitution.  But the very rights our constitution are designed to protect are not any provided by man or artificial law, but by our creator, who gave us life.
