And, no, we’re not 64, but getting there…

Not Yet Sixty-Four

So busy having a wonderful July 4th weekend, didn’t have time to post.
Family
Wisconsin
Lake
Bonfire
Lighted boat parade.
Good food.
For all this — thanks be to God, and may God continue to bless America!

A tradition in our family, to pass this from one generation to the next…….

If

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream – and not make dreams your master;
If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on”;

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings – nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run –
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And – which is more – you’ll be a Man my son!

– Rudyard Kipling

The Cap Times reported today that a “Doctor key to UW abortion plans is leaving for Harvard.” Cap Times article

14 wk preborn baby

Very cool, except that the report continues, “ UW Health spokeswoman Lisa Brunette says Dutton’s departure will mean a change in who provides the service, but won’t affect the plans otherwise.”

According to one reader’s comments in online discussion, 90% of the Madison Surgery Center’s staff opposed participating in second trimester abortions.

IN ADDITION to that important observation:

• 68% of all Americans oppose second trimester abortions. (Gallup 2003)

• 51% of Americans oppose abortion at any stage of pregnancy at all. (Gallup 2010)

• Wisconsin State law prohibits the use of state funds for abortion. (WI State Legislature ; No UW Abortions )

• The Hippocratic Oath, used by humanity to define the ethics of medicine, included (for over 2 thousand years) the now-abandoned statement: “I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody if asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy.” (Hippocratic Oath)

• Abortion has numerous harmful effects on the mother, including physical risk, psychological damage, and increased breast cancer risk. Abortion also has effects on a woman’s ability to have successful future pregnancies, and on the psychological well-being of other children born to that mother. (AbortionFacts.com)

So HOW is it that the University of Wisconsin continues to show an interest in providing second trimester abortions?

Does UW Madison defy democracy?

Does UW Madison defy the majority’s accepted standards of ethics and morality?

Does UW Madison defy Wisconsin law?

Does UW Madison fail to distinguish between health CARE and killing?

We people of Wisconsin need to make some phone calls and send some emails!

“What Rules The World”

Blessings on the hand of women!
Angels guard its strength and grace,
In the palace, cottage, hovel,
Oh, no matter where the place;
Would that never storms assailed it,
Rainbows ever gently curled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.

Infancy’s the tender fountain,
Power may with beauty flow,
Mother’s first to guide the streamlets,
From them souls unresting grow—
Grow on for the good or evil,
Sunshine streamed or evil hurled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.

Woman, how divine your mission
Here upon our natal sod!
Keep, oh, keep the young heart open
Always to the breath of God!
All true trophies of the ages
Are from mother-love impearled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.

Blessings on the hand of women!
Fathers, sons, and daughters cry,
And the sacred song is mingled
With the worship in the sky—
Mingles where no tempest darkens,
Rainbows evermore are hurled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.

-William Ross Wallace, 1865
