2 Timothy 3:1-5 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.
A judge appointed by President Obama created a hostile environment in their courtroom when they implied that a pro-life doctor was a liar.
Federal Judge William Conley is overseeing a trial challenging a Wisconsin state law that requires abortionists to have admitting privileges at hospitals. The law is similar to one upheld in many southern states.
Dr. John Thorp, an obstetrician with the University of North Carolina, was testifying about abortions and the complications that arise during the procedure. As Dr. Thorp was testifying, Judge Conley began to make an increasingly hostile series of questions and comments to Dr. Thorp.
When Dr. Thorp testified that he believed complications for abortions to be under-reported by abortion providers, Judge Conley referenced a quote from author Mark Twain.
“[There are] lies, damn lies and statistics,” the Judge said to Dr. Thorp.
When Dr. Thorp was obviously insulted by the Judge’s implications he was a liar, the Judge tried to backtrack and say that he wasn’t really saying that Dr. Thorp was lying.
Dr. Thorp stuck to his testimony throughout the rest of the hostile questioning.
“Admission privileges allow for continued care rather than sending a patient to a black box, which is my opinion what transfer agreements allow them to do,” Thorp said. “I reject the final premise that a law like this will harm Wisconsin women.”
We need to pray for this verse to come to pass: Isaiah 1:26
“Then I will restore your judges as at the first,
And your counselors as at the beginning;
After that you will be called the city of righteousness,
A faithful city.”
