Many people in the 1700s and the 1800s in the United States of America prayed for African Americans to obtain the right to vote. Some even partied. One celebration was called Election Day where people got together enjoying parades, food, drinks, music and speeches. Those who wanted to be king or governor of the festivities made speeches about government leaders, other well-known personalities and important issues like slavery. Praying, partying and good deeds go together.
The Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 2:1-6 Amplified Bible, "First of all, then, I admonish and urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men, For kings and all who are in positions of authority or high responsibility, that [outwardly] we may pass a quiet and undisturbed life [and inwardly] a peaceable one in all godliness and reverence and seriousness in every way. For such [praying] is good and right, and [it is] pleasing and acceptable to God our Savior, Who wishes all men to be saved and [increasingly] to perceive and recognize and discern and know precisely and correctly the [divine] Truth. For there [is only] one God, and [only] one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, Who gave Himself as a ransom for all [people, a fact that was] attested to at the right and proper time."
A Latino proverb says, "Una buena accion es la mejor oracion" (A good deed is the best prayer.") Vote Tuesday, November 5, 2013. Watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7edX9l2c08 about voting, lynching and living.
Sarah J. Garnet, the eldest of eleven children, the wife of a minister named Henry H. Garnet and the first African American woman to be appointed principal in the New York City public school system, believed so strongly in voting that she was also a founder of one of Brooklyn New York's first equal rights organization, called the Equal Suffrage League.
Sarah J. Garnet was also a friend of Ida B. Wells who was friends with black men who owned a grocery store in Memphis. Wells' friends were lynched, and she wrote about their deaths in her newspaper noting that they were killed because their grocery store was competitive with a white owned store. A few months later her newspaper office was sacked. The year was 1892, and a record number of lynchings of African Americans happened. The lynchings and the ruin of her newspaper office did not stop Wells from speaking out against racially-motivated evil.
Evil acts are not to stop Christians from doing good deeds. 1 Corinthians 15:58 Amplified Bible says, "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm (steadfast), immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord [always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the Lord], knowing and being continually aware that your labor in the Lord is not futile [it is never wasted or to no purpose]."
Sarah J. Garnet along with other women raised money to help replace the destroyed presses of Ida B. Wells. Helping people is holy and loving. Philippians 4:5 Amplified Bible says, "Let all men know and perceive and recognize your unselfishness (your considerateness, your forbearing spirit). The Lord is near [He is coming soon]." 1 John 3:16-18 Amplified Bible says, "By this we come to know (progressively to recognize, to perceive, to understand) the [essential] love: that He laid down His [own] life for us; and we ought to lay [our] lives down for [those who are our] brothers [in Him]. But if anyone has this world’s goods (resources for sustaining life) and sees his brother and fellow believer in need, yet closes his heart of compassion against him, how can the love of God live and remain in him? Little children, let us not love [merely] in theory or in speech but in deed and in truth (in practice and in sincerity)."
Ida B. Wells wrote the book Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All Its Phases in 1892. She would write other books, marry Ferdinand/Frederick Barnett and have four children with Barnett named Charles, Herman, Ida and Alfreda. Read more about Ida B. Wells in my article "All Mothers Work" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/05/all-mothers-work.html.
Born a slave in Mississippi, Ida B. Wells became free as many other African Americans did after the Civil War.
Just because African American slavery has ended doesn't mean that the slave-master mindset is dead. Sadly it has survived, is very sick and tries to be slick masquerading as things like "healthcare." Watch these videos with Elaine Riddick and Freda McKissic Bush, MD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFJNX5bHYVI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60C87TaxpQQ.
What is the biggest killer of African Americans? It's not heart disease, cancer, diabetes, AIDS or violent crime. Watch this video for the answer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20KPGyOfBhk.
Margaret Sanger of the American Birth Control League which became Planned Parenthood had the slave-master mindset. She says in an interview with Mike Wallace, "I think the greatest sin in the world is bringing children into the world that have a disease from their parents, that have no chance in the world to be a human being practically, delinquents, prisoners, all sort of things, just marked when they are born. That to me is the greatest sin that people can commit" (Watch the interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsrOPDdbTzM.)
Margaret Sanger's thinking is against the human race and in favor of abortion, sterilization, infanticide and "family planning" targeted toward the disabled, low-income persons and those not of certain European heritage. For Margaret Sanger, who spoke at KKK rallies, Planned Parenthood and their likes it never was and is still not about reproductive rights. It's always been about reproductive racism, sexism, elitism, disability discrimination, etc. Watch this Maafa 21 video http://maafa21.com/, and read this fact sheet by The Rebecca Project for Human Rights http://www.rebeccaproject.org/images/stories/Fact%20Sheets/depo-provera-deadly-reproductive-violence-rebecca-project-for-human-rights-2013.pdf; "Over the past two years, the Rebecca Project has investigated, documented and interviewed scores of women and girls, deducing that birth control providers serving low-income women and girls such as Planned-Parenthood characteristically decline to inform patients about the FDA's warnings concerning Depo Provera. However, health providers are mandated ethically to inform women of harm and to post FDA Depo Provera Black-Box warnings on websites -- instead of misleading and misinforming families about the drug's dangerous side effects."
Watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk1f95sDna0 in which persecution of immigrants is discussed and an advocate with the Rebecca Project talks about the side effects of Depo Provera, US government efforts to sterilize 1/4 of the world's women of color and other issues. Do you have an abortion, sterilization, infanticide, Depo Provera, Norplant or other "family planning" experience to share?
No matter what color we are we can be enslaved by the slave-master mindset. God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit calls people to freedom. 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 Amplified Bible says, "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom). And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit."
Free people are faithful to research ways to stay out of slavery and to fight for freedom. Proverbs 18:15 Amplified Bible says, "The mind of the prudent is ever getting knowledge, and the ear of the wise is ever seeking (inquiring for and craving) knowledge."
Hiram Rhoades (Rhodes) Revels was an African Methodist Episcopal Church minister who was an educator. After Revels was the first African American to serve in the US Senate completing the term vacated by Confederate President Jefferson, Revels became the first president of Alcorn College for Negros. Like Blanche Kelso Bruce, the first African American elected to the US Senate who served the full six-year term, Revels represented Mississippi and was a member of the Republican Party which was founded to stop the spread of African American slavery.
Dr. Alveda King, a niece of Christian Minister and Civil Rights Activist Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and co-editor with Dr. LaVerne Tolbert of the book Life At All Costs An Anthology Of Voices From 21st Century Black Prolife Leaders, has African, Native American and European ancestors. She is also a Christian who talks about her heritage, the mix of heritage Americans possess, and her "family planning" experience in this Civil Rights and the Pro-Life Movement speech given at Villanova University https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zj4JAbHvw9U.
Alveda King's grandfather had a dream about her before she was born, and he encouraged her mother not to abort her. His dream came true. Alveda King is alive today and full of life. Women and girls are hurt by abortion. Men and boys are hurt by abortion too.

Jesus welcomes people. Jesus even welcomes young children who are not wanted, planned or possessing a perfect physique. Yet some seek genetic testing to kill the disabled. Did you know that 67 percent of babies with Down Syndrome are aborted? Read this article http://www.lifenews.com/2013/10/24/67-of-babies-with-down-syndrome-die-in-abortions-what-else-should-you-know/ to learn more about people with Down Syndrome. A doctor suggested Andrea Bocelli's mom have an abortion because her son might have a disability. She didn't follow his advice. 1 Timothy 5:25 Amplified Bible says, "So also, good deeds are evident and conspicuous, and even when they are not, they cannot remain hidden [indefinitely]." Andrea Bocelli, who is the biggest selling Classical musician in history, blind and a father, says he is glad to be alive; and he shares his story in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QfKCGTfn3o&feature=youtu.be. Do you have a good deed to share?
Some unborn boys and some unborn girls survive attempted abortions. Baby Ana Rosa Rodriquez survived an attempted abortion, but had her arm sliced off during the attempted abortion. In this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXOM99fm1A8 Gospel Singer Fred Hammond talks about surviving an attempted abortion. Abortion caused Claire Culwell to be born with club feet and dislocated hips. She survived the attempted abortion, her twin did not. Culwell is adopted and learned about her past by finding her birth mother who sought an abortion when she was 13. Watch their story here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=571B4ZiIZ_Y.
Are you an abortion survivor? Share your story. Joyce Meyer writes in her book Joy redefined Loving Others, "It is impossible for you to be happy if you don't get your mind off yourself and start reaching out to help someone else."
While God does not always like what we do with the human physique, God likes the human physique. God also designed for parents to enjoy the sexual relations that may lead to starting a new human life. In Song of Songs/Song of Solomon 7:11 New Living Translation Bible a wife/lover says to her husband/lover, "Come, my love, let us go out to the fields and spend the night among the wildflowers." How wonderful to come to life through married parents making love in the outdoors! Or perhaps your mother laid on the beach with her legs and feet extended up as her husband lay across her creating fantastic friction when you were conceived? Do you have a conception feasting love story to share? Write to:

Even when married couples are past the age of reproduction, God designed for them to enjoy sex. Love licks (Japanese for oral sex,) sexual intercourse and other love making are better than cannibalism or euthanasia. Read my articles "An Appetizer, the Main Dish or Among a Smorgasbord of Love Play" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/03/an-appetizer-main-dish-or-among.html and "Awesome Aging" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/02/awesome-aging.html.
Because God loves us, God does not will for us to have partner sex outside of marriage. Because God loves us, God wills for us to enjoy sex inside of marriage. God does not want any of us to be afraid of sexuality and try to stomp it out. God created sexuality. What God creates is good, beautiful and excellent provided we participate in God's creation according to His design. God designed sex to bond marital couples. Sometimes sex leads to reproduction. Read my article "Fearless Sex" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/01/fearless-sex.html.
Sexual sin doesn't have to stop us from enjoying fearless sex. Have you participated in killing an unborn boy or an unborn girl? If we are in relationship with God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit, abortion and any other sin does not separate us from the love of God. Stop sinning, and shake off shame and condemnation. Acts 3:19-20 Amplified Bible says, "So repent (change your mind and purpose); turn around and return [to God], that your sins may be erased (blotted out, wiped clean), that times of refreshing (of recovering from the effects of heat, of reviving with fresh air) may come from the presence of the Lord; And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah), Who before was designated and appointed for you—even Jesus."
Enjoy friendships with the opposite sex and the same sex, and if marriage is God's will for you, also enjoy sex with your spouse. John 10:10 Amplified Bible says, "The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)." Refuse to allow shame and condemnation to steal the joy and the feast of sex with your spouse.

Christopher Yuan says he was strangled by a boyfriend/lover in his book Out Of A Far Country A gay son's journey to God. A broken mother's search for hope., and he continued to stay in the relationship for a while. How did he escape sexual slavery? "I didn't leave homosexuality because I thought it was so bad...I left homosexuality because I found something better, and His name is Jesus," Yuan says. Christopher Yuan's story is not I'm sorry I got caught in my sins, wish to keep on sinning while God wipes out the consequences of my choices, but a story of real change and love of God. Proverbs 28:13 Complete Jewish Bible says, "He who conceals his sins will not succeed; he who confesses and abandons them will gain mercy." Watch Yuan talk here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEDG2xxDGAg.
Have you come out of sexual slavery?
Chinese Americans have been identified with African American slavery and segregation. In the 1927 US Supreme Court decision Gong Lum v. Rice, the court ruled that Chinese American citizens are colored and as a consequence are restricted to segregated schools. Oliver W. Holmes, Jr., was an associate justice at the time. Also in 1927 US Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. wrote in the Buck v. Bell case upholding American state-sponsored sterilization, "It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes.... Three generations of imbeciles are enough."
In this interview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doiWP2SQx2E Chen Guangcheng, who is blind, the husband of Yuan Weijing and the father of Chen Kerui and Chen Kesi, talks about his nephew, Chen Kegui who is the husband of Liu Fang and father of a young son named Chen Fubin, and, he notes that Chen Kegui was put in the same jail shortly after Chen Guangcheng escaped China that Chinese authorities put Chen Guangcheng in after he filed a 2005 class-action lawsuit against forced abortion and forced sterilization. Chen Guangcheng also encourages people to blog in this interview.
"Numerous forced-abortion tragedies occur in China every single day," says Pastor Bob Fu, president of China Aid Association and author of the book God's Double Agent The True Story of a Chinese Christian's Fight for Freedom in which one of the subjects Bob Fu writes about is how he, his wife, Heidi Fu, and their first child, Daniel Fu, escaped a forced-abortion tragedy that loomed over the family because Heidi Fu was pregnant without a pregnancy permission card required by China's one-child policy. Most people do not escape China's one-child policy that includes forced abortions and forced sterilizations. A woman subjected to a forced abortion at nine months of pregnancy shares her story here http://www.womensrightswithoutfrontiers.org/blog/?p=1327. This article includes a letter from a woman subjected to a forced abortion and a forced sterilization http://www.chinaaid.org/2012/07/sister-guo-yanling-christian-in-guangxi.html; also "Her family home was forcibly demolished, all their assets were stolen, and she was placed under administrative detention."
China has implemented a new anti-rumor law. Read here http://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/access-09102013102331.html for more information about the new anti-rumor law which has impacted Chen Guangfu, Chen Guangcheng's eldest brother, and others. Don't be intimidated. Chen Guangcheng isn't. He's still speaking out for human rights. New York University rejected Chen Guangcheng. Now he's affiliated with the Witherspoon Institute, the Catholic University of America and the Lantos Foundation for Human Rights and Justice which also with individuals and with groups like http://www.savesaeed.org is working to free Pastor Saeed Abedini who is imprisoned in Evin prison in Iran because of his Christian faith and works. Ephesians 4:14-15 Amplified Bible says, "So then, we may no longer be children, tossed [like ships] to and fro between chance gusts of teaching and wavering with every changing wind of doctrine, [the prey of] the cunning and cleverness of unscrupulous men, [gamblers engaged] in every shifting form of trickery in inventing errors to mislead. Rather, let our lives lovingly express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly]. Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him Who is the Head, [even] Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)."
Chen Guangcheng is a friend of Desmond Tutu, Archbishop Emeritus of Cape Town, South Africa. Tutu is also an honorary chair of Freedom Now which is providing legal counsel to Chen Guangcheng's family. Jared Genser, founder of Freedom Now, wrote the following three suggestions on how to help Chinese dissidents in this article http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/jared-genser-the-us-needs-a-new-strategy-in-addressing-chinas-human-rights/2013/10/27/58246600-34ef-11e3-8a0e-4e2cf80831fc_story.html, "First, the clear violation of China’s commitments and its lies must be directly and publicly confronted. Failure to squarely address the government’s impunity only emboldens those in the Chinese government who interpret quiet diplomacy and private protestations as a license to oppress. It was disheartening, for example, when President Obama failed to sign a letter to incoming Chinese President Xi Jinping last December from 134 Nobel laureates pressing for Liu Xiaobo’s release. The White House has never publicly called for Liu Xia to be released from her extralegal house arrest. This signals to Beijing that there will be no real price for failing to respond to private requests for action on these cases.
Second, in instances in which Chinese officials refuse to engage as honest actors, it is incumbent upon the U.S. administration to meet with Chinese dissidents and their families who can speak with unique authority about the persecution they continue to face in China. Meetings with President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry, in particular, make clear that the United States views human rights as a central component of its foreign policy.
Finally, each high-level meeting with Chinese officials should include a substantive discussion of human rights issues relevant to the subject of the meeting. International standards on political, social, economic, environmental and cultural rights inform nearly all aspects of modern life. Prioritizing a bilateral relationship that consistently emphasizes fundamental freedoms would allow the administration to articulate a coherent strategy for addressing human rights while fostering the conditions for a real dialogue."
God wants us to live the best possible life. Deuteronomy 28:13 Amplified Bible says, "And the Lord shall make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you this day and are watchful to do them."
When Rafael, who has autism, and I go to restaurants we don't usually see persons with autism, Down's Syndrome, intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy and other disabilities. Increasing the wage of service providers to the disabled would help the disabled enjoy restaurants with wait staff. Deanna Copeland is a service provider for Andrea Hood and only makes $1,400.00 monthly. Read their story here http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/08/disability_rights_advocates_fa.html.
Also as a society we need to embrace the behavior of people who act differently. Rafael eats with his hands. People in Ethiopia and other cultures eat with their hands. Read my article "Food, Love and Marriage" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2012/07/food-love-and-marriage.html.
Elaine Riddick is an advocate for the disabled. She is also an advocate for people forcibly sterilized, for unborn boys and unborn girls killed by abortion and for women's health.
Instead of receiving healthcare Elaine Riddick was forcibly sterilized by the state of North Carolina nine months after she was raped by a neighbor and was giving birth via a C-section to her son conceived through rape. Watch this CNN interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzYQLHHCxq8 in which Elaine Riddick says about her state-sponsored sterilization, "Later on because of my body was traumatized so severely I ended up having to have a total hysterectomy. But prior to that before I had the hysterectomy most of my life was I had to live in a whole lot of pain, hemorrhaging. When I got my monthly cycle ... it felt like someone had taken a knife and was gutting me .... My menstrual cycle ... wasn't normal because it lasted ... 12 to 15 days at a time, and this happened from the time ... after I had my son from the time I was 14 until I got into my 40s when I eventually did have to have a total hysterectomy."
Riddick says about the psychological impact of her forced sterilization, "You will never recover from this because it's always there. Every time you wake up when you go to sleep it's there. You think about how you've been treated in this country here. You think about--well me myself I had been so severely damaged until I was on Prozac, Serentil and Haldol, and that's how I coped. I had to wean myself off these things in order for me to cope, and I have to cope, and I have to go on."
Sometimes people consider physical health as more important than mental health. The reality is that they both need our regular attention, and failing to take good care of ourselves physically and mentally is dangerous and even deadly. Read my article "Heart Disease, Depression and Christianity" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/02/heart-disease-depression-and.html.
Sometimes people consider animals of little value, but that's not how God teaches us to view and to treat animals. Proverbs 12:10 New Living Translation Bible says, "The godly care for their animals, but the wicked are always cruel." Proverbs 12:6 New Living Translation Bible says, "The words of the wicked are like a murderous ambush, but the words of the godly save lives." Have you spoken out against sterilizing cats and/or other animals? Have you spoken out against euthanizing cats and/or other animals?
Are you a victim of American state-sponsored sterilization? A Persian proverb says, "Opportunity should be grabbed." In North Carolina $10 million is to be split equally among those sterilized through the North Carolina Eugenics Board.
A Latino proverb says, "No hay tiempo como el presente" (There is no time like the present.") Compensation claims must be filed by June 30, 2014, for victims to receive a one-time payment to be distributed June 30, 2015.
North Carolina had a eugenics board from the 1930s through the 1970s through which social workers, family and others arranged for people to be sterilized. If you think you are one of the victims, you can ask the North Carolina Justice for Sterilization Victims Foundation to check the North Carolina Eugenic Board's records by completing and mailing them this form: http://www.sterilizationvictims.nc.gov/documents/FirstPartyVerificationform.pdf. Sometimes people are not able to speak up for themselves and need advocates. If you are not a victim, but are an advocate for a victim, you can ask the North Carolina Justice for Sterilization Victims Foundation to check the North Carolina Eugenic Board's records by completing and mailing them this form with required attachments: http://www.sterilizationvictims.nc.gov/documents/ThirdPartyVerificationform.pdf. These forms are verification and not a guarantee of compensation.
In South Africa Desmond Tutu headed the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that exposed many of the evils done under apartheid, so that evil may be stopped and good promoted. North Carolina is not the only American state that did state-sponsored sterilizations. In 1907 Indiana became the first US state to legalize state-sponsored sterilizations. California is believed to be the state with the largest number of state-sponsored sterilizations, but not all state records have been released.
Cindy Trimm says in her book Commanding Your Morning, "Think big and think detailed!.... Become a visionary--be creative. Take the limits off your mind! Think beyond where you are.... Ask God to enlarge your capacity for thinking, to take the limits off." Other American states besides North Carolina and other nations need to apologize to, financially compensate victims and erase all forms of "family planning" evil.
The door to evil has not been closed. US Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., wrote in the 1927 Buck v. Bell case upholding American state-sponsored sterilization, "It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes.... Three generations of imbeciles are enough." Like Roe v. Wade which legalized abortion in America Buck v. Bell has not been overturned.
A Korean proverb says, "The fortunate man has bread and friends." If you have filed a North Carolina verification form, please share your experience and inspire others. Write to:

Truth And Reconciliation Needed, Part 19
The Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 2:1-6 Amplified Bible, "First of all, then, I admonish and urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men, For kings and all who are in positions of authority or high responsibility, that [outwardly] we may pass a quiet and undisturbed life [and inwardly] a peaceable one in all godliness and reverence and seriousness in every way. For such [praying] is good and right, and [it is] pleasing and acceptable to God our Savior, Who wishes all men to be saved and [increasingly] to perceive and recognize and discern and know precisely and correctly the [divine] Truth. For there [is only] one God, and [only] one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, Who gave Himself as a ransom for all [people, a fact that was] attested to at the right and proper time."
A Latino proverb says, "Una buena accion es la mejor oracion" (A good deed is the best prayer.") Vote November 5. Watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7edX9l2c08 about voting, lynching and living.
Sarah J. Garnet, the eldest of eleven children, the wife of a minister named Henry H. Garnet and the first African American woman to be appointed principal in the New York City public school system, believed so strongly in voting that she was also a founder of one of Brooklyn New York's first equal rights organization, called the Equal Suffrage League.

But if anyone has this world’s goods (resources for sustaining life) and sees his brother and fellow believer in need, yet closes his heart of compassion against him, how can the love of God live and remain in him? Little children, let us not love [merely] in theory or in speech but in deed and in truth (in practice and in sincerity)."
Ida B. Wells wrote the book Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All Its Phases in 1892. She would write other books, marry Ferdinand/Frederick Barnett and have four children with Barnett named Charles, Herman, Ida and Alfreda. Read more about Ida B. Wells in my article "All Mothers Work" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/05/all-mothers-work.html.
Born a slave in Mississippi, Ida B. Wells became free as many other African Americans did after the Civil War.

It's always been about reproductive racism, sexism, elitism, disability discrimination, etc. Watch this Maafa 21 video http://maafa21.com/, and read this fact sheet by The Rebecca Project for Human Rights http://www.rebeccaproject.org/images/stories/Fact%20Sheets/depo-provera-deadly-reproductive-violence-rebecca-project-for-human-rights-2013.pdf; "Over the past two years, the Rebecca Project has investigated, documented and interviewed scores of women and girls, deducing that birth control providers serving low-income women and girls such as Planned-Parenthood characteristically decline to inform patients about the FDA's warnings concerning Depo Provera. However, health providers are mandated ethically to inform women of harm and to post FDA Depo Provera Black-Box warnings on websites -- instead of misleading and misinforming families about the drug's dangerous side effects."
Watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk1f95sDna0 in which persecution of immigrants is discussed and an advocate with the Rebecca Project talks about the side effects of Depo Provera, US government efforts to sterilize 1/4 of the world's women of color and other issues. Do you have an abortion, sterilization, infanticide, Depo Provera, Norplant or other "family planning" experience to share?
No matter what color we are we can be enslaved by the slave-master mindset. God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit calls people to freedom. 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 Amplified Bible says, "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom). And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit."
Free people are faithful to research ways to stay out of slavery and to fight for freedom. Proverbs 18:15 Amplified Bible says, "The mind of the prudent is ever getting knowledge, and the ear of the wise is ever seeking (inquiring for and craving) knowledge."
Hiram Rhoades (Rhodes) Revels was an African Methodist Episcopal Church minister who was an educator. After Revels was the first African American to serve in the US Senate completing the term vacated by Confederate President Jefferson, Revels became the first president of Alcorn College for Negros. Like Blanche Kelso Bruce, the first African American elected to the US Senate who served the full six-year term, Revels represented Mississippi and was a member of the Republican Party which was founded to stop the spread of African American slavery.
Dr. Alveda King, a niece of Christian Minister and Civil Rights Activist Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, has African, Native American and European ancestors. She is also a Christian who talks about her heritage, the mix of heritage Americans possess, and her "family planning" experience in this Civil Rights and the Pro-Life Movement speech given at Villanova University https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zj4JAbHvw9U.
Alveda King's grandfather had a dream about her before she was born, and he encouraged her mother not to abort her. His dream came true. Alveda King is alive today and full of life. Women and girls are hurt by abortion. Men and boys are hurt by abortion too.

Jesus welcomes people. Jesus even welcomes young children who are not wanted, planned or possessing a perfect physique. Yet some seek genetic testing to kill the disabled. A doctor suggested Andrea Bocelli's mom have an abortion because her son might have a disability. She didn't follow his advice. 1 Timothy 5:25 Amplified Bible says, "So also, good deeds are evident and conspicuous, and even when they are not, they cannot remain hidden [indefinitely]." Andrea Bocelli, who is the biggest selling Classical musician in history, blind and a father, says he is glad to be alive; and he shares his story in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QfKCGTfn3o&feature=youtu.be. Do you have a good deed to share?
Some unborn boys and some unborn girls survive attempted abortions. Baby Ana Rosa Rodriquez survived an attempted abortion, but had her arm sliced off during the attempted abortion. In this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXOM99fm1A8 Gospel Singer Fred Hammond talks about surviving an attempted abortion. Abortion caused Claire Culwell to be born with club feet and dislocated hips. She survived the attempted abortion, her twin did not. Culwell is adopted and learned about her past by finding her birth mother who sought an abortion when she was 13. Watch their story here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=571B4ZiIZ_Y.
Are you an abortion survivor? Share your story. Joyce Meyer writes in her book Joy redefined Loving Others, "It is impossible for you to be happy if you don't get your mind off yourself and start reaching out to help someone else."
While God does not always like what we do with the human physique, God likes the human physique. God also designed for parents to enjoy the sexual relations that may lead to starting a new human life. In Song of Songs/Song of Solomon 7:11 New Living Translation Bible a wife/lover says to her husband/lover, "Come, my love, let us go out to the fields and spend the night among the wildflowers." How wonderful to come to life through married parents making love in the outdoors! Or perhaps your mother laid on the beach with her legs and feet extended up as her husband lay across her creating fantastic friction when you were conceived?

Even when married couples are past the age of reproduction, God designed for them to enjoy sex. Love licks (Japanese for oral sex,) sexual intercourse and other love making are better than cannibalism or euthanasia.

Because God loves us, God does not will for us to have partner sex outside of marriage. Because God loves us, God wills for us to enjoy sex inside of marriage. God does not want any of us to be afraid of sexuality and try to stomp it out. God created sexuality. What God creates is good, beautiful and excellent provided we participate in God's creation according to His design. God designed sex to bond marital couples. Sometimes sex leads to reproduction. Read my article "Fearless Sex" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/01/fearless-sex.html.
Sexual sin doesn't have to stop us from enjoying fearless sex. Have you participated in killing an unborn boy or an unborn girl? If we are in relationship with God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit, abortion and any other sin does not separate us from the love of God. Stop sinning, and shake off shame and condemnation. Acts 3:19-20 Amplified Bible says, "So repent (change your mind and purpose); turn around and return [to God], that your sins may be erased (blotted out, wiped clean), that times of refreshing (of recovering from the effects of heat, of reviving with fresh air) may come from the presence of the Lord; And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah), Who before was designated and appointed for you—even Jesus."
Enjoy friendships with the opposite sex and the same sex, and if marriage is God's will for you, also enjoy sex with your spouse. John 10:10 Amplified Bible says, "The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)." Refuse to allow shame and condemnation to steal the joy and the feast of sex with your spouse.

Christopher Yuan says he was strangled by a boyfriend/lover in his book Out Of A Far Country A gay son's journey to God. A broken mother's search for hope., and he continued to stay in the relationship for a while. How did he escape sexual slavery? "I didn't leave homosexuality because I thought it was so bad...I left homosexuality because I found something better, and His name is Jesus," Yuan says. Christopher Yuan's story is not I'm sorry I got caught in my sins, wish to keep on sinning while God wipes out the consequences of my choices, but a story of real change and love of God. Proverbs 28:13 Complete Jewish Bible says, "He who conceals his sins will not succeed; he who confesses and abandons them will gain mercy." Watch Yuan talk here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEDG2xxDGAg.

Chinese Americans have been identified with African American slavery and segregation. In the 1927 US Supreme Court decision Gong Lum v. Rice, the court ruled that Chinese American citizens are colored and as a consequence are restricted to segregated schools. Oliver W. Holmes, Jr., was an associate justice at the time. Also in 1927 US Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. wrote in the Buck v. Bell case upholding American state-sponsored sterilization, "It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes.... Three generations of imbeciles are enough."
In this interview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doiWP2SQx2E Chen Guangcheng, who is blind, the husband of Yuan Weijing and the father of Chen Kerui and Chen Kesi, talks about his nephew, Chen Kegui who is the husband of Liu Fang and father of a young son named Chen Fubin, and, he notes that Chen Kegui was put in the same jail shortly after Chen Guangcheng escaped China that Chinese authorities put Chen Guangcheng in after he filed a 2005 class-action lawsuit against forced abortion and forced sterilization. Chen Guangcheng also encourages people to blog in this interview.
"Numerous forced-abortion tragedies occur in China every single day," says Pastor Bob Fu, president of China Aid Association and author of the book God's Double Agent The True Story of a Chinese Christian's Fight for Freedom in which one of the subjects Bob Fu writes about is how he, his wife, Heidi Fu, and their first child, Daniel Fu, escaped a forced-abortion tragedy that loomed over the family because Heidi Fu was pregnant without a pregnancy permission card required by China's one-child policy. Most people do not escape China's one-child policy that includes forced abortions and forced sterilizations. A woman subjected to a forced abortion at nine months of pregnancy shares her story here http://www.womensrightswithoutfrontiers.org/blog/?p=1327. This article includes a letter from a woman subjected to a forced abortion and a forced sterilization http://www.chinaaid.org/2012/07/sister-guo-yanling-christian-in-guangxi.html; also "Her family home was forcibly demolished, all their assets were stolen, and she was placed under administrative detention."
China has implemented a new anti-rumor law. Read here http://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/access-09102013102331.html for more information about the new anti-rumor law which has impacted Chen Guangfu, Chen Guangcheng's elder brother, and others. Don't be intimidated. Chen Guangcheng isn't. He's still speaking out for human rights. New York University rejected Chen Guangcheng. Now he's affiliated with the Witherspoon Institute, the Catholic University of America and the Lantos Foundation for Human Rights and Justice which also with individuals and with groups like http://www.savesaeed.org is working to free Pastor Saeed Abedini who is imprisoned in Evin prison in Iran because of his Christian faith and works. Ephesians 4:14-15 Amplified Bible says, "So then, we may no longer be children, tossed [like ships] to and fro between chance gusts of teaching and wavering with every changing wind of doctrine, [the prey of] the cunning and cleverness of unscrupulous men, [gamblers engaged] in every shifting form of trickery in inventing errors to mislead. Rather, let our lives lovingly express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly]. Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him Who is the Head, [even] Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)."
God wants us to live the best possible life. Deuteronomy 28:13 Amplified Bible says, "And the Lord shall make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you this day and are watchful to do them."
When Rafael, who has autism, and I go to restaurants we don't usually see persons with autism, Down's Syndrome, intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy and other disabilities. Increasing the wage of service providers to the disabled would help the disabled enjoy restaurants with wait staff. Deanna Copeland is a service provider for Andrea Hood and only makes $1,400.00 monthly. Read their story here http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/08/disability_rights_advocates_fa.html.
Also as a society we need to embrace the behavior of people who act differently. Rafael eats with his hands. People in Ethiopia and other cultures eat with their hands. Read my article "Food, Love and Marriage" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2012/07/food-love-and-marriage.html.
Elaine Riddick is an advocate for the disabled. She is also an advocate for people forcibly sterilized, for unborn boys and unborn girls killed by abortion and for women's health.
Instead of receiving healthcare Elaine Riddick was forcibly sterilized by the state of North Carolina nine months after she was raped by a neighbor and was giving birth via a C-section to her son conceived through rape. Watch this CNN interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzYQLHHCxq8 in which Elaine Riddick says about her state-sponsored sterilization, "Later on because of my body was traumatized so severely I ended up having to have a total hysterectomy. But prior to that before I had the hysterectomy most of my life was I had to live in a whole lot of pain, hemorrhaging. When I got my monthly cycle ... it felt like someone had taken a knife and was gutting me .... My menstrual cycle ... wasn't normal because it lasted ... 12 to 15 days at a time, and this happened from the time ... after I had my son from the time I was 14 until I got into my 40s when I eventually did have to have a total hysterectomy."
Riddick says about the psychological impact of her forced sterilization, "You will never recover from this because it's always there. Every time you wake up when you go to sleep it's there. You think about how you've been treated in this country here. You think about--well me myself I had been so severely damaged until I was on Prozac, Serentil and Haldol, and that's how I coped. I had to wean myself off these things in order for me to cope, and I have to cope, and I have to go on."
Sometimes people consider physical health as more important than mental health. The reality is that they both need our regular attention, and failing to take good care of ourselves physically and mentally is dangerous and even deadly. Read my article "Heart Disease, Depression and Christianity" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/02/heart-disease-depression-and.html.
Are you a victim of American state-sponsored sterilization? A Persian proverb says, "Opportunity should be grabbed." In North Carolina $10 million is to be split equally among those sterilized through the North Carolina Eugenics Board.
A Latino proverb says, "No hay tiempo como el presente" (There is no time like the present.") Compensation claims must be filed by June 30, 2014, for victims to receive a one-time payment to be distributed June 30, 2015.
North Carolina had a eugenics board from the 1930s through the 1970s through which social workers, family and others arranged for people to be sterilized. If you think you are one of the victims, you can ask the North Carolina Justice for Sterilization Victims Foundation to check the North Carolina Eugenic Board's records by completing and mailing them this form: http://www.sterilizationvictims.nc.gov/documents/FirstPartyVerificationform.pdf. Sometimes people are not able to speak up for themselves and need advocates. If you are not a victim, but are an advocate for a victim, you can ask the North Carolina Justice for Sterilization Victims Foundation to check the North Carolina Eugenic Board's records by completing and mailing them this form with required attachments: http://www.sterilizationvictims.nc.gov/documents/ThirdPartyVerificationform.pdf. These forms are verification and not a guarantee of compensation.
In South Africa Desmond Tutu retired as archbishop to head the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that exposed many of the evils done under apartheid, so that evil may be stopped and good promoted. North Carolina is not the only American state that did state-sponsored sterilizations. In 1907 Indiana became the first US state to legalize state-sponsored sterilizations. California is believed to be the state with the largest number of state-sponsored sterilizations, but not all state records have been released.
Cindy Trimm says in her book Commanding Your Morning, "Think big and think detailed!.... Become a visionary--be creative. Take the limits off your mind! Think beyond where you are.... Ask God to enlarge your capacity for thinking, to take the limits off." Other American states besides North Carolina and other nations need to apologize to, financially compensate victims and erase all forms of "family planning" evil.
The door to evil has not been closed. US Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., wrote in the 1927 Buck v. Bell case upholding American state-sponsored sterilization, "It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes.... Three generations of imbeciles are enough." Like Roe v. Wade which legalized abortion in America Buck v. Bell has not been overturned.
A Korean proverb says, "The fortunate man has bread and friends." If you have filed a North Carolina verification form, please share your experience and inspire others. Write to:

A Latino proverb says, "Una buena accion es la mejor oracion" (A good deed is the best prayer.") Vote November 5. Watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7edX9l2c08 about voting, lynching and living.
Sarah J. Garnet, the eldest of eleven children, the wife of a minister named Henry H. Garnet and the first African American woman to be appointed principal in the New York City public school system, believed so strongly in voting that she was also a founder of one of Brooklyn New York's first equal rights organization, called the Equal Suffrage League.
Sarah J. Garnet was also a friend of Ida B. Wells who was friends with black men who owned a grocery store in Memphis. Her friends were lynched, and she wrote about their deaths in her newspaper noting that they were killed because their grocery store was competitive with a white owned store. A few months later her newspaper office was sacked. The year was 1892, and a record number of lynchings of African Americans happened. The lynchings and the ruin of her newspaper office did not stop Wells from speaking out against racially-motivated evil.
Evil acts are not to stop Christians from doing good deeds. 1 Corinthians 15:58 Amplified Bible says, "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm (steadfast), immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord [always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the Lord], knowing and being continually aware that your labor in the Lord is not futile [it is never wasted or to no purpose]."
Sarah J. Garnet along with other women raised money to help replace the destroyed presses of Ida B. Wells. Helping people is holy and loving. Philippians 4:5 Amplified Bible says, "Let all men know and perceive and recognize your unselfishness (your considerateness, your forbearing spirit). The Lord is near [He is coming soon]." 1 John 3:16-18 Amplified Bible says, "By this we come to know (progressively to recognize, to perceive, to understand) the [essential] love: that He laid down His [own] life for us; and we ought to lay [our] lives down for [those who are our] brothers [in Him]. But if anyone has this world’s goods (resources for sustaining life) and sees his brother and fellow believer in need, yet closes his heart of compassion against him, how can the love of God live and remain in him? Little children, let us not love [merely] in theory or in speech but in deed and in truth (in practice and in sincerity)."
Ida B. Wells wrote the book Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All Its Phases in 1892. She would write other books, marry Ferdinand/Frederick Barnett and have four children with Barnett named Charles, Herman, Ida and Alfreda. Read more about Ida B. Wells in my article "All Mothers Work" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/05/all-mothers-work.html.
Born a slave in Mississippi, Ida B. Wells became free as many other African Americans did after the Civil War.
Just because African American slavery has ended doesn't mean that the slave-master mindset is dead. Sadly it has survived, is very sick and tries to be slick masquerading as things like "healthcare."

What is the biggest killer of African Americans? It's not heart disease, cancer, diabetes, AIDS or violent crime. Watch this video for the answer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20KPGyOfBhk.
Margaret Sanger of the American Birth Control League which became Planned Parenthood had the slave-master mindset. She says in an interview with Mike Wallace, "I think the greatest sin in the world is bringing children into the world that have a disease from their parents, that have no chance in the world to be a human being practically, delinquents, prisoners, all sort of things, just marked when they are born. That to me is the greatest sin that people can commit" (Watch the interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsrOPDdbTzM.)

Christopher Yuan's story is not I'm sorry I got caught in my sins, wish to keep on sinning while God wipes out the consequences of my choices, but a story of real change and love of God. Proverbs 28:13 Complete Jewish Bible says, "He who conceals his sins will not succeed; he who confesses and abandons them will gain mercy." Watch Yuan talk here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEDG2xxDGAg.
Have you come out of sexual slavery?
Chinese Americans have been identified with African American slavery and segregation. In the 1927 US Supreme Court decision Gong Lum v. Rice, the court ruled that Chinese American citizens are colored and as a consequence are restricted to segregated schools. Oliver W. Holmes, Jr., was an associate justice at the time. Also in 1927 US Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. wrote in the Buck v. Bell case upholding American state-sponsored sterilization, "It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes.... Three generations of imbeciles are enough."
In this interview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doiWP2SQx2E Chen Guangcheng, who is blind, the husband of Yuan Weijing and the father of Chen Kerui and Chen Kesi, talks about his nephew, Chen Kegui who is the husband of Liu Fang and father of a young son named Chen Fubin, and, he notes that Chen Kegui was put in the same jail shortly after Chen Guangcheng escaped China that Chinese authorities put Chen Guangcheng in after he filed a 2005 class-action lawsuit against forced abortion and forced sterilization. Chen Guangcheng also encourages people to blog in this interview.
"Numerous forced-abortion tragedies occur in China every single day," says Pastor Bob Fu, president of China Aid Association and author of the book God's Double Agent The True Story of a Chinese Christian's Fight for Freedom in which one of the subjects Bob Fu writes about is how he, his wife, Heidi Fu, and their first child, Daniel Fu, escaped a forced-abortion tragedy that loomed over the family because Heidi Fu was pregnant without a pregnancy permission card required by China's one-child policy. Most people do not escape China's one-child policy that includes forced abortions and forced sterilizations. A woman subjected to a forced abortion at nine months of pregnancy shares her story here http://www.womensrightswithoutfrontiers.org/blog/?p=1327. This article includes a letter from a woman subjected to a forced abortion and a forced sterilization http://www.chinaaid.org/2012/07/sister-guo-yanling-christian-in-guangxi.html; also "Her family home was forcibly demolished, all their assets were stolen, and she was placed under administrative detention."
China has implemented a new anti-rumor law. Read here http://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/access-09102013102331.html for more information about the new anti-rumor law which has impacted Chen Guangfu, Chen Guangcheng's elder brother, and others. Don't be intimidated. Chen Guangcheng isn't. He's still speaking out for human rights. New York University rejected Chen Guangcheng. Now he's affiliated with the Witherspoon Institute, the Catholic University of America and the Lantos Foundation for Human Rights and Justice which also with individuals and with groups like http://www.savesaeed.org is working to free Pastor Saeed Abedini who is imprisoned in Evin prison in Iran because of his Christian faith and works. Ephesians 4:14-15 Amplified Bible says, "So then, we may no longer be children, tossed [like ships] to and fro between chance gusts of teaching and wavering with every changing wind of doctrine, [the prey of] the cunning and cleverness of unscrupulous men, [gamblers engaged] in every shifting form of trickery in inventing errors to mislead. Rather, let our lives lovingly express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly]. Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him Who is the Head, [even] Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)."
God wants us to live the best possible life. Deuteronomy 28:13 Amplified Bible says, "And the Lord shall make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you this day and are watchful to do them."
When Rafael, who has autism, and I go to restaurants we don't usually see persons with autism, Down's Syndrome, intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy and other disabilities. Increasing the wage of service providers to the disabled would help the disabled enjoy restaurants with wait staff. Deanna Copeland is a service provider for Andrea Hood and only makes $1,400.00 monthly. Read their story here http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/08/disability_rights_advocates_fa.html.
Also as a society we need to embrace the behavior of people who act differently. Rafael eats with his hands. People in Ethiopia and other cultures eat with their hands. Read my article "Food, Love and Marriage" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2012/07/food-love-and-marriage.html.
Elaine Riddick is an advocate for the disabled. She is also an advocate for people forcibly sterilized, for unborn boys and unborn girls killed by abortion and for women's health.
Instead of receiving healthcare Elaine Riddick was forcibly sterilized by the state of North Carolina nine months after she was raped by a neighbor and was giving birth via a C-section to her son conceived through rape. Watch this CNN interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzYQLHHCxq8 in which Elaine Riddick says about her state-sponsored sterilization, "Later on because of my body was traumatized so severely I ended up having to have a total hysterectomy. But prior to that before I had the hysterectomy most of my life was I had to live in a whole lot of pain, hemorrhaging. When I got my monthly cycle ... it felt like someone had taken a knife and was gutting me .... My menstrual cycle ... wasn't normal because it lasted ... 12 to 15 days at a time, and this happened from the time ... after I had my son from the time I was 14 until I got into my 40s when I eventually did have to have a total hysterectomy."
Riddick says about the psychological impact of her forced sterilization, "You will never recover from this because it's always there. Every time you wake up when you go to sleep it's there. You think about how you've been treated in this country here. You think about--well me myself I had been so severely damaged until I was on Prozac, Serentil and Haldol, and that's how I coped. I had to wean myself off these things in order for me to cope, and I have to cope, and I have to go on."
Sometimes people consider physical health as more important than mental health. The reality is that they both need our regular attention, and failing to take good care of ourselves physically and mentally is dangerous and even deadly. Read my article "Heart Disease, Depression and Christianity" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/02/heart-disease-depression-and.html.
Are you a victim of American state-sponsored sterilization? A Persian proverb says, "Opportunity should be grabbed." In North Carolina $10 million is to be split equally among those sterilized through the North Carolina Eugenics Board.
A Latino proverb says, "No hay tiempo como el presente" (There is no time like the present.") Compensation claims must be filed by June 30, 2014, for victims to receive a one-time payment to be distributed June 30, 2015.
North Carolina had a eugenics board from the 1930s through the 1970s through which social workers, family and others arranged for people to be sterilized. If you think you are one of the victims, you can ask the North Carolina Justice for Sterilization Victims Foundation to check the North Carolina Eugenic Board's records by completing and mailing them this form: http://www.sterilizationvictims.nc.gov/documents/FirstPartyVerificationform.pdf. Sometimes people are not able to speak up for themselves and need advocates. If you are not a victim, but are an advocate for a victim, you can ask the North Carolina Justice for Sterilization Victims Foundation to check the North Carolina Eugenic Board's records by completing and mailing them this form with required attachments: http://www.sterilizationvictims.nc.gov/documents/ThirdPartyVerificationform.pdf. These forms are verification and not a guarantee of compensation.
In South Africa Desmond Tutu retired as archbishop to head the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that exposed many of the evils done under apartheid, so that evil may be stopped and good promoted. North Carolina is not the only American state that did state-sponsored sterilizations. In 1907 Indiana became the first US state to legalize state-sponsored sterilizations. California is believed to be the state with the largest number of state-sponsored sterilizations, but not all state records have been released.
Cindy Trimm says in her book Commanding Your Morning, "Think big and think detailed!.... Become a visionary--be creative. Take the limits off your mind! Think beyond where you are.... Ask God to enlarge your capacity for thinking, to take the limits off." Other American states besides North Carolina and other nations need to apologize to, financially compensate victims and erase all forms of "family planning" evil.
The door to evil has not been closed. US Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., wrote in the 1927 Buck v. Bell case upholding American state-sponsored sterilization, "It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes.... Three generations of imbeciles are enough." Like Roe v. Wade which legalized abortion in America Buck v. Bell has not been overturned.

Truth And Reconciliation Needed, Part 18
Ida B. Wells was friends with black men who owned a grocery store in Memphis. Her friends were lynched, and she wrote about their deaths in her newspaper noting that they were killed because their grocery store was competitive with a white owned store. A few months later her newspaper office was sacked. The year was 1892, and a record number of lynchings of African Americans happened. The lynchings and the ruin of her newspaper office did not stop Wells from speaking out against racially-motivated evil.
Evil acts are not to stop Christians from doing good deeds. 1 Corinthians 15:58 Amplified Bible says, "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm (steadfast), immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord [always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the Lord], knowing and being continually aware that your labor in the Lord is not futile [it is never wasted or to no purpose]."
Sarah J. Garnet, the eldest of eleven children and the first African American woman to be appointed principal in the New York City public school system, along with other women raised money to help replace the destroyed presses of Ida B. Wells. Helping people is holy and loving. Philippians 4:5 Amplified Bible says, "Let all men know and perceive and recognize your unselfishness (your considerateness, your forbearing spirit). The Lord is near [He is coming soon]." 1 John 3:16-18 Amplified Bible says, "By this we come to know (progressively to recognize, to perceive, to understand) the [essential] love: that He laid down His [own] life for us; and we ought to lay [our] lives down for [those who are our] brothers [in Him]. But if anyone has this world’s goods (resources for sustaining life) and sees his brother and fellow believer in need, yet closes his heart of compassion against him, how can the love of God live and remain in him? Little children, let us not love [merely] in theory or in speech but in deed and in truth (in practice and in sincerity)."
Ida B. Wells wrote the book Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All Its Phases in 1892. She would write other books, marry Ferdinand/Frederick Barnett and have four children with Barnett named Charles, Herman, Ida and Alfreda. Read more about Ida B. Wells in my article "All Mothers Work" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/05/all-mothers-work.html.
Born a slave in Mississippi, Ida B. Wells became free as many other African Americans did after the Civil War.
Just because African American slavery has ended doesn't mean that the slave-master mindset is dead. Sadly it has survived, is very sick and tries to be slick masquerading as things like "healthcare." Watch these videos with Elaine Riddick and Freda McKissic Bush, MD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFJNX5bHYVI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60C87TaxpQQ. What is the biggest killer of African Americans? It's not heart disease, cancer, diabetes, AIDS or violent crime. Watch this video for the answer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20KPGyOfBhk.
Margaret Sanger of the American Birth Control League which became Planned Parenthood had the slave-master mindset. She says in an interview with Mike Wallace, "I think the greatest sin in the world is bringing children into the world that have a disease from their parents, that have no chance in the world to be a human being practically, delinquents, prisoners, all sort of things, just marked when they are born. That to me is the greatest sin that people can commit" (Watch the interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsrOPDdbTzM.)
Margaret Sanger's thinking is against the human race and in favor of abortion, sterilization, infanticide and "family planning" targeted toward the disabled, low-income persons and those not of certain European heritage. For Margaret Sanger, who spoke at KKK rallies, Planned Parenthood and their likes it never was and is still not about reproductive rights. It's always been about reproductive racism, sexism, elitism, etc. Watch this Maafa 21 video http://maafa21.com/, and read this fact sheet by The Rebecca Project for Human Rights http://www.rebeccaproject.org/images/stories/Fact%20Sheets/depo-provera-deadly-reproductive-violence-rebecca-project-for-human-rights-2013.pdf; "Over the past two years, the Rebecca Project has investigated, documented and interviewed scores of women and girls, deducing that birth control providers serving low-income women and girls such as Planned-Parenthood characteristically decline to inform patients about the FDA's warnings concerning Depo Provera. However, health providers are mandated ethically to inform women of harm and to post FDA Depo Provera Black-Box warnings on websites -- instead of misleading and misinforming families about the drug's dangerous side effects."
Watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk1f95sDna0 in which persecution of immigrants is discussed and an advocate with the Rebecca Project talks about the side effects of Depo Provera, US government efforts to sterilize 1/4 of the world's women of color and other issues. Do you have an abortion, sterilization, infanticide, Depo Provera, Norplant or other "family planning" experience to share?
No matter what color we are we can be enslaved by the slave-master mindset. God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit calls people to freedom. 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 Amplified Bible says, "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom). And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit."
Free people are faithful to research ways to stay out of slavery and to fight for freedom. Proverbs 18:15 Amplified Bible says, "The mind of the prudent is ever getting knowledge, and the ear of the wise is ever seeking (inquiring for and craving) knowledge."
Dr. Alveda King, a niece of Christian Minister and Civil Rights Activist Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, has African, Native American and European ancestors. She is also a Christian who talks about her heritage, the mix of heritage Americans possess, and her "family planning" experience in this Civil Rights and the Pro-Life Movement speech given at Villanova University https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zj4JAbHvw9U.
Alveda King's grandfather had a dream about her before she was born, and he encouraged her mother not to abort her. His dream came true. Alveda King is alive today and full of life. Women and girls are hurt by abortion. Men and boys are hurt by abortion too. Read my article "Do Fathers Have a Say in Abortion and Frozen Embryos?" http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/01/do-fathers-have-say-in-abortion-and.html.
Jesus welcomes people. Jesus even welcomes young children who are not wanted, planned or possessing a perfect physique. Yet some seek genetic testing to kill the disabled. A doctor suggested Andrea Bocelli's mom have an abortion because her son might have a disability. She didn't follow his advice. 1 Timothy 5:25 Amplified Bible says, "So also, good deeds are evident and conspicuous, and even when they are not, they cannot remain hidden [indefinitely]." Andrea Bocelli, who is the biggest selling Classical musician in history, blind and a father, says he is glad to be alive; and he shares his story in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QfKCGTfn3o&feature=youtu.be. Do you have a good deed to share?
Some unborn boys and some unborn girls survive attempted abortions. Baby Ana Rosa Rodriquez survived an attempted abortion, but had her arm sliced off during the attempted abortion. In this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXOM99fm1A8 Gospel Singer Fred Hammond talks about surviving an attempted abortion. Abortion caused Claire Culwell to be born with club feet and dislocated hips. She survived the attempted abortion, her twin did not. Culwell is adopted and learned about her past by finding her birth mother who sought an abortion when she was 13. Watch their story here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=571B4ZiIZ_Y.
Are you an abortion survivor? Share your story. Joyce Meyer writes in her book Joy redefined Loving Others, "It is impossible for you to be happy if you don't get your mind off yourself and start reaching out to help someone else."
While God does not always like what we do with the human physique, God likes the human physique. God also designed for parents to enjoy the sexual relations that may lead to starting a new human life. In Song of Songs/Song of Solomon 7:11 New Living Translation Bible a wife/lover says to her husband/lover, "Come, my love, let us go out to the fields and spend the night among the wildflowers." How wonderful to come to life through married parents making love in the outdoors! Or perhaps your mother laid on the beach with her legs and feet extended up as her husband lay across her creating fantastic friction when you were conceived? Do you have a conception feasting love story to share? Write to:

Even when married couples are past the age of reproduction, God designed for them to enjoy sex. Love licks (Japanese for oral sex,) sexual intercourse and other love making are better than cannibalism or euthanasia. Read my articles "An Appetizer, the Main Dish or Among a Smorgasbord of Love Play" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/03/an-appetizer-main-dish-or-among.html and "Awesome Aging" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/02/awesome-aging.html.
Because God loves us, God does not will for us to have partner sex outside of marriage. Because God loves us, God wills for us to enjoy sex inside of marriage. God does not want any of us to be afraid of sexuality and try to stomp it out. God created sexuality. What God creates is good, beautiful and excellent provided we participate in God's creation according to His design. God designed sex to bond marital couples. Sometimes sex leads to reproduction. Read my article "Fearless Sex" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/01/fearless-sex.html.
Sexual sin doesn't have to stop us from enjoying fearless sex. Have you participated in killing an unborn boy or an unborn girl? If we are in relationship with God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit, abortion and any other sin does not separate us from the love of God. Stop sinning, and shake off shame and condemnation. Acts 3:19-20 Amplified Bible says, "So repent (change your mind and purpose); turn around and return [to God], that your sins may be erased (blotted out, wiped clean), that times of refreshing (of recovering from the effects of heat, of reviving with fresh air) may come from the presence of the Lord; And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah), Who before was designated and appointed for you—even Jesus."
Enjoy friendships with the opposite sex and the same sex, and if marriage is God's will for you, also enjoy sex with your spouse. John 10:10 Amplified Bible says, "The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)." Refuse to allow shame and condemnation to steal the joy and the feast of sex with your spouse.

A broken mother's search for hope., and he continued to stay in the relationship for a while. How did he escape sexual slavery?

The Lord is near [He is coming soon]." 1 John 3:16-18 Amplified Bible says, "By this we come to know (progressively to recognize, to perceive, to understand) the [essential] love: that He laid down His [own] life for us; and we ought to lay [our] lives down for [those who are our] brothers [in Him]. But if anyone has this world’s goods (resources for sustaining life) and sees his brother and fellow believer in need, yet closes his heart of compassion against him, how can the love of God live and remain in him? Little children, let us not love [merely] in theory or in speech but in deed and in truth (in practice and in sincerity)."
Ida B. Wells wrote the book Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All Its Phases in 1892. She would write other books, marry Ferdinand/Frederick Barnett and have four children with Barnett named Charles, Herman, Ida and Alfreda. Read more about Ida B. Wells in my article "All Mothers Work" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/05/all-mothers-work.html.
Born a slave in Mississippi, Ida B. Wells became free as many other African Americans did after the Civil War.
Just because African American slavery has ended doesn't mean that the slave-master mindset is dead. Sadly it has survived, is very sick and tries to be slick masquerading as things like "healthcare." Watch these videos with Elaine Riddick and Freda McKissic Bush, MD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFJNX5bHYVI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60C87TaxpQQ. What is the biggest killer of African Americans? It's not heart disease, cancer, diabetes, AIDS or violent crime. Watch this video for the answer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20KPGyOfBhk.
Margaret Sanger of the American Birth Control League which became Planned Parenthood had the slave-master mindset. She says in an interview with Mike Wallace, "I think the greatest sin in the world is bringing children into the world that have a disease from their parents, that have no chance in the world to be a human being practically, delinquents, prisoners, all sort of things, just marked when they are born. That to me is the greatest sin that people can commit" (Watch the interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsrOPDdbTzM.)
Margaret Sanger's thinking is against the human race and in favor of abortion, sterilization, infanticide and "family planning" targeted toward the disabled, low-income persons and those not of certain European heritage. For Margaret Sanger, who spoke at KKK rallies, Planned Parenthood and their likes it never was and is still not about reproductive rights. It's always been about reproductive racism, sexism, elitism, etc. Watch this Maafa 21 video http://maafa21.com/, and read this fact sheet by The Rebecca Project for Human Rights http://www.rebeccaproject.org/images/stories/Fact%20Sheets/depo-provera-deadly-reproductive-violence-rebecca-project-for-human-rights-2013.pdf; "Over the past two years, the Rebecca Project has investigated, documented and interviewed scores of women and girls, deducing that birth control providers serving low-income women and girls such as Planned-Parenthood characteristically decline to inform patients about the FDA's warnings concerning Depo Provera. However, health providers are mandated ethically to inform women of harm and to post FDA Depo Provera Black-Box warnings on websites -- instead of misleading and misinforming families about the drug's dangerous side effects."
Watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk1f95sDna0 in which persecution of immigrants is discussed and an advocate with the Rebecca Project talks about the side effects of Depo Provera, US government efforts to sterilize 1/4 of the world's women of color and other issues. Do you have an abortion, sterilization, infanticide, Depo Provera, Norplant or other "family planning" experience to share?
No matter what color we are we can be enslaved by the slave-master mindset. God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit calls people to freedom. 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 Amplified Bible says, "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom). And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit."
Free people are faithful to research ways to stay out of slavery and to fight for freedom. Proverbs 18:15 Amplified Bible says, "The mind of the prudent is ever getting knowledge, and the ear of the wise is ever seeking (inquiring for and craving) knowledge."
Dr. Alveda King, a niece of Christian Minister and Civil Rights Activist Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, has African, Native American and European ancestors. She is also a Christian who talks about her heritage, the mix of heritage Americans possess, and her "family planning" experience in this Civil Rights and the Pro-Life Movement speech given at Villanova University https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zj4JAbHvw9U.
Alveda King's grandfather had a dream about her before she was born, and he encouraged her mother not to abort her. His dream came true. Alveda King is alive today and full of life. Women and girls are hurt by abortion. Men and boys are hurt by abortion too. Read my article "Do Fathers Have a Say in Abortion and Frozen Embryos?" http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/01/do-fathers-have-say-in-abortion-and.html.
Jesus welcomes people. Jesus even welcomes young children who are not wanted, planned or possessing a perfect physique. Yet some seek genetic testing to kill the disabled. A doctor suggested Andrea Bocelli's mom have an abortion because her son might have a disability. She didn't follow his advice. 1 Timothy 5:25 Amplified Bible says, "So also, good deeds are evident and conspicuous, and even when they are not, they cannot remain hidden [indefinitely]." Andrea Bocelli, who is the biggest selling Classical musician in history, blind and a father, says he is glad to be alive; and he shares his story in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QfKCGTfn3o&feature=youtu.be. Do you have a good deed to share?
Some unborn boys and some unborn girls survive attempted abortions. Baby Ana Rosa Rodriquez survived an attempted abortion, but had her arm sliced off during the attempted abortion. In this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXOM99fm1A8 Gospel Singer Fred Hammond talks about surviving an attempted abortion. Abortion caused Claire Culwell to be born with club feet and dislocated hips. She survived the attempted abortion, her twin did not. Culwell is adopted and learned about her past by finding her birth mother who sought an abortion when she was 13. Watch their story here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=571B4ZiIZ_Y.
Are you an abortion survivor? Share your story. Joyce Meyer writes in her book Joy redefined Loving Others, "It is impossible for you to be happy if you don't get your mind off yourself and start reaching out to help someone else."
While God does not always like what we do with the human physique, God likes the human physique. God also designed for parents to enjoy the sexual relations that may lead to starting a new human life. In Song of Songs/Song of Solomon 7:11 New Living Translation Bible a wife/lover says to her husband/lover, "Come, my love, let us go out to the fields and spend the night among the wildflowers." How wonderful to come to life through married parents making love in the outdoors! Or perhaps your mother laid on the beach with her legs and feet extended up as her husband lay across her creating fantastic friction when you were conceived? Do you have a conception feasting love story to share? Write to:

Even when married couples are past the age of reproduction, God designed for them to enjoy sex. Love licks (Japanese for oral sex,) sexual intercourse and other love making are better than cannibalism or euthanasia. Read my articles "An Appetizer, the Main Dish or Among a Smorgasbord of Love Play" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/03/an-appetizer-main-dish-or-among.html and "Awesome Aging" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/02/awesome-aging.html.
Because God loves us, God does not will for us to have partner sex outside of marriage. Because God loves us, God wills for us to enjoy sex inside of marriage. God does not want any of us to be afraid of sexuality and try to stomp it out. God created sexuality. What God creates is good, beautiful and excellent provided we participate in God's creation according to His design. God designed sex to bond marital couples. Sometimes sex leads to reproduction. Read my article "Fearless Sex" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/01/fearless-sex.html.
Sexual sin doesn't have to stop us from enjoying fearless sex. Have you participated in killing an unborn boy or an unborn girl? If we are in relationship with God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit, abortion and any other sin does not separate us from the love of God. Stop sinning, and shake off shame and condemnation. Acts 3:19-20 Amplified Bible says, "So repent (change your mind and purpose); turn around and return [to God], that your sins may be erased (blotted out, wiped clean), that times of refreshing (of recovering from the effects of heat, of reviving with fresh air) may come from the presence of the Lord; And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah), Who before was designated and appointed for you—even Jesus."
Enjoy friendships with the opposite sex and the same sex, and if marriage is God's will for you, also enjoy sex with your spouse. John 10:10 Amplified Bible says, "The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)." Refuse to allow shame and condemnation to steal the joy and the feast of sex with your spouse.

Christopher Yuan says he was strangled by a boyfriend/lover in his book Out Of A Far Country A gay son's journey to God. A broken mother's search for hope., and he continued to stay in the relationship for a while. How did he escape sexual slavery? "I didn't leave homosexuality because I thought it was so bad...I left homosexuality because I found something better, and His name is Jesus," Yuan says. Christopher Yuan's story is not I'm sorry I got caught in my sins, wish to keep on sinning while God wipes out the consequences of my choices, but a story of real change and love of God. Proverbs 28:13 Complete Jewish Bible says, "He who conceals his sins will not succeed; he who confesses and abandons them will gain mercy." Watch Yuan talk here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEDG2xxDGAg.
Have you come out of sexual slavery?
Chinese Americans have been identified with African American slavery and segregation. In the 1927 US Supreme Court decision Gong Lum v. Rice, the court ruled that Chinese American citizens are colored and as a consequence are restricted to segregated schools. Oliver W. Holmes, Jr., was an associate justice at the time. Also in 1927 US Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. wrote in the Buck v. Bell case upholding American state-sponsored sterilization, "It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes.... Three generations of imbeciles are enough."
In this interview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doiWP2SQx2E Chen Guangcheng, who is blind, the husband of Yuan Weijing and the father of Chen Kerui and Chen Kesi, talks about his nephew, Chen Kegui who is the husband of Liu Fang and father of a young son named Chen Fubin, and, he notes that Chen Kegui was put in the same jail shortly after Chen Guangcheng escaped China that Chinese authorities put Chen Guangcheng in after he filed a 2005 class-action lawsuit against forced abortion and forced sterilization. Chen Guangcheng also encourages people to blog in this interview.
"Numerous forced-abortion tragedies occur in China every single day," says Pastor Bob Fu, president of China Aid Association and author of the book God's Double Agent The True Story of a Chinese Christian's Fight for Freedom in which one of the subjects Bob Fu writes about is how he, his wife, Heidi Fu, and their first child, Daniel Fu, escaped a forced-abortion tragedy that loomed over the family because Heidi Fu was pregnant without a pregnancy permission card required by China's one-child policy. Most people do not escape China's one-child policy that includes forced abortions and forced sterilizations. A woman subjected to a forced abortion at nine months of pregnancy shares her story here http://www.womensrightswithoutfrontiers.org/blog/?p=1327. This article includes a letter from a woman subjected to a forced abortion and a forced sterilization http://www.chinaaid.org/2012/07/sister-guo-yanling-christian-in-guangxi.html; also "Her family home was forcibly demolished, all their assets were stolen, and she was placed under administrative detention."
China has implemented a new anti-rumor law. Read here http://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/access-09102013102331.html for more information about the new anti-rumor law which has impacted Chen Guangfu, Chen Guangcheng's elder brother, and others. Don't be intimidated. Chen Guangcheng isn't. He's still speaking out for human rights. New York University rejected Chen Guangcheng. Now he's affiliated with the Witherspoon Institute, the Catholic University of America and the Lantos Foundation for Human Rights and Justice which also with individuals and with groups like http://www.savesaeed.org is working to free Pastor Saeed Abedini who is imprisoned in Evin prison in Iran because of his Christian faith and works. Ephesians 4:14-15 Amplified Bible says, "So then, we may no longer be children, tossed [like ships] to and fro between chance gusts of teaching and wavering with every changing wind of doctrine, [the prey of] the cunning and cleverness of unscrupulous men, [gamblers engaged] in every shifting form of trickery in inventing errors to mislead. Rather, let our lives lovingly express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly]. Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him Who is the Head, [even] Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)."
God wants us to live the best possible life. Deuteronomy 28:13 Amplified Bible says, "And the Lord shall make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you this day and are watchful to do them."
When Rafael, who has autism, and I go to restaurants we don't usually see persons with autism, Down's Syndrome, intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy and other disabilities. Increasing the wage of service providers to the disabled would help the disabled enjoy restaurants with wait staff. Deanna Copeland is a service provider for Andrea Hood and only makes $1,400.00 monthly. Read their story here http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/08/disability_rights_advocates_fa.html.
Also as a society we need to embrace the behavior of people who act differently. Rafael eats with his hands. People in Ethiopia and other cultures eat with their hands. Read my article "Food, Love and Marriage" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2012/07/food-love-and-marriage.html.
Elaine Riddick is an advocate for the disabled. She is also an advocate for people forcibly sterilized, for unborn boys and unborn girls killed by abortion and for women's health.
Instead of receiving healthcare Elaine Riddick was forcibly sterilized by the state of North Carolina nine months after she was raped by a neighbor and was giving birth via a C-section to her son conceived through rape. Watch this CNN interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzYQLHHCxq8 in which Elaine Riddick says about her state-sponsored sterilization, "Later on because of my body was traumatized so severely I ended up having to have a total hysterectomy. But prior to that before I had the hysterectomy most of my life was I had to live in a whole lot of pain, hemorrhaging. When I got my monthly cycle ... it felt like someone had taken a knife and was gutting me .... My menstrual cycle ... wasn't normal because it lasted ... 12 to 15 days at a time, and this happened from the time ... after I had my son from the time I was 14 until I got into my 40s when I eventually did have to have a total hysterectomy."
Riddick says about the psychological impact of her forced sterilization, "You will never recover from this because it's always there. Every time you wake up when you go to sleep it's there. You think about how you've been treated in this country here. You think about--well me myself I had been so severely damaged until I was on Prozac, Serentil and Haldol, and that's how I coped. I had to wean myself off these things in order for me to cope, and I have to cope, and I have to go on."
Are you a victim of American state-sponsored sterilization? A Persian proverb says, "Opportunity should be grabbed." In North Carolina $10 million is to be split equally among those sterilized through the North Carolina Eugenics Board.
A Latino proverb says, "No hay tiempo como el presente" (There is no time like the present.") Compensation claims must be filed by June 30, 2014, for victims to receive a one-time payment to be distributed June 30, 2015.
North Carolina had a eugenics board from the 1930s through the 1970s through which social workers, family and others arranged for people to be sterilized. If you think you are one of the victims, you can ask the North Carolina Justice for Sterilization Victims Foundation to check the North Carolina Eugenic Board's records by completing and mailing them this form: http://www.sterilizationvictims.nc.gov/documents/FirstPartyVerificationform.pdf. Sometimes people are not able to speak up for themselves and need advocates. If you are not a victim, but are an advocate for a victim, you can ask the North Carolina Justice for Sterilization Victims Foundation to check the North Carolina Eugenic Board's records by completing and mailing them this form with required attachments: http://www.sterilizationvictims.nc.gov/documents/ThirdPartyVerificationform.pdf. These forms are verification and not a guarantee of compensation.
In South Africa Desmond Tutu retired as archbishop to head the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that exposed many of the evils done under apartheid, so that evil may be stopped and good promoted. North Carolina is not the only American state that did state-sponsored sterilizations. In 1907 Indiana became the first US state to legalize state-sponsored sterilizations. California is believed to be the state with the largest number of state-sponsored sterilizations, but not all state records have been released.
Cindy Trimm says in her book Commanding Your Morning, "Think big and think detailed!.... Become a visionary--be creative. Take the limits off your mind! Think beyond where you are.... Ask God to enlarge your capacity for thinking, to take the limits off." Other American states besides North Carolina and other nations need to apologize to, financially compensate victims and erase all forms of "family planning" evil.
The door to evil has not been closed. US Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., wrote in the 1927 Buck v. Bell case upholding American state-sponsored sterilization, "It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes.... Three generations of imbeciles are enough." Like Roe v. Wade which legalized abortion in America Buck v. Bell has not been overturned.
A Korean proverb says, "The fortunate man has bread and friends." If you have filed a North Carolina verification form, please share your experience and inspire others. Write to:

Truth And Reconciliation Needed, Part 17
Hiram Rhoades (Rhodes) Revels was the first African American to serve in the US Senate. Revels, who was also an African Methodist Episcopal Church minister, only served one year because he was completing the term vacated by Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Blanche Kelso Bruce was the first African American elected to the US Senate who served the full six-year term. Both Revels and Bruce represented Mississippi and were members of the Republican Party which was founded to stop the spread of African American slavery.
Just because African American slavery has ended doesn't mean that the slave-master mindset is dead. Sadly it has survived, is very sick and tries to be slick masquerading as things like "healthcare." Watch these videos with Elaine Riddick and Freda McKissic Bush, MD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFJNX5bHYVI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60C87TaxpQQ.

Read here http://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/access-09102013102331.html for more information about the new anti-rumor law which has impacted Chen Guangfu, Chen Guangcheng's elder brother, and others. Don't be intimidated. Chen Guangcheng isn't. He's still speaking out for human rights. New York University rejected Chen Guangcheng. Now he's affiliated with the Witherspoon Institute, the Catholic University of America and the Lantos Foundation for Human Rights and Justice which also with individuals and with groups like http://www.savesaeed.org is working to free Pastor Saeed Abedini who is imprisoned in Evin prison in Iran because of his Christian faith and works. Ephesians 4:14-15 Amplified Bible says, "So then, we may no longer be children, tossed [like ships] to and fro between chance gusts of teaching and wavering with every changing wind of doctrine, [the prey of] the cunning and cleverness of unscrupulous men, [gamblers engaged] in every shifting form of trickery in inventing errors to mislead. Rather, let our lives lovingly express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly]. Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him Who is the Head, [even] Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)."
God wants us to live the best possible life. Deuteronomy 28:13 Amplified Bible says, "And the Lord shall make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you this day and are watchful to do them."
When Rafael, who has autism, and I go to restaurants we don't usually see persons with autism, Down's Syndrome, intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy and other disabilities. Increasing the wage of service providers to the disabled would help the disabled enjoy restaurants with wait staff. Deanna Copeland is a service provider for Andrea Hood and only makes $1,400.00 monthly. Read their story here http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/08/disability_rights_advocates_fa.html.
Also as a society we need to embrace the behavior of people who act differently. Rafael eats with his hands. People in Ethiopia and other cultures eat with their hands. Read my article "Food, Love and Marriage" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2012/07/food-love-and-marriage.html.
Elaine Riddick is an advocate for the disabled. She is also an advocate for people forcibly sterilized, for unborn boys and unborn girls killed by abortion and for women's health.
Instead of receiving healthcare Elaine Riddick was forcibly sterilized by the state of North Carolina nine months after she was raped by a neighbor and was giving birth via a C-section to her son conceived through rape. Watch this CNN interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzYQLHHCxq8 in which Elaine Riddick says about her state-sponsored sterilization, "Later on because of my body was traumatized so severely I ended up having to have a total hysterectomy. But prior to that before I had the hysterectomy most of my life was I had to live in a whole lot of pain, hemorrhaging. When I got my monthly cycle ... it felt like someone had taken a knife and was gutting me .... My menstrual cycle ... wasn't normal because it lasted ... 12 to 15 days at a time, and this happened from the time ... after I had my son from the time I was 14 until I got into my 40s when I eventually did have to have a total hysterectomy."
Riddick says about the psychological impact of her forced sterilization, "You will never recover from this because it's always there. Every time you wake up when you go to sleep it's there. You think about how you've been treated in this country here. You think about--well me myself I had been so severely damaged until I was on Prozac, Serentil and Haldol, and that's how I coped. I had to wean myself off these things in order for me to cope, and I have to cope, and I have to go on."
Are you a victim of American state-sponsored sterilization? A Persian proverb says, "Opportunity should be grabbed." In North Carolina $10 million is to be split equally among those sterilized through the North Carolina Eugenics Board.
A Latino proverb says, "No hay tiempo como el presente" (There is no time like the present.") Compensation claims must be filed by June 30, 2014, for victims to receive a one-time payment to be distributed June 30, 2015.
North Carolina had a eugenics board from the 1930s through the 1970s through which social workers, family and others arranged for people to be sterilized. If you think you are one of the victims, you can ask the North Carolina Justice for Sterilization Victims Foundation to check the North Carolina Eugenic Board's records by completing and mailing them this form: http://www.sterilizationvictims.nc.gov/documents/FirstPartyVerificationform.pdf. Sometimes people are not able to speak up for themselves and need advocates. If you are not a victim, but are an advocate for a victim, you can ask the North Carolina Justice for Sterilization Victims Foundation to check the North Carolina Eugenic Board's records by completing and mailing them this form with required attachments: http://www.sterilizationvictims.nc.gov/documents/ThirdPartyVerificationform.pdf. These forms are verification and not a guarantee of compensation.
In South Africa Desmond Tutu retired as archbishop to head the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that exposed many of the evils done under apartheid, so that evil may be stopped and good promoted. North Carolina is not the only American state that did state-sponsored sterilizations.
Cindy Trimm says in her book Commanding Your Morning, "Think big and think detailed!.... Become a visionary--be creative. Take the limits off your mind! Think beyond where you are.... Ask God to enlarge your capacity for thinking, to take the limits off." Other American states besides North Carolina and other nations need to apologize to, financially compensate victims and erase all forms of "family planning" evil.
The door to evil has not been closed. US Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote in the 1927 Buck v. Bell case upholding American state-sponsored sterilization, "It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes.... Three generations of imbeciles are enough." Like Roe v. Wade which legalized abortion in America Buck v. Bell has not been overturned.

Just because African American slavery has ended doesn't mean that the slave-master mindset is dead. Sadly it has survived, is very sick and tries to be slick masquerading as things like "healthcare." Watch these videos with Elaine Riddick and Freda McKissic Bush, MD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFJNX5bHYVI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60C87TaxpQQ.
Margaret Sanger of the American Birth Control League which became Planned Parenthood had the slave-master mindset. She says in an interview with Mike Wallace, "I think the greatest sin in the world is bringing children into the world that have a disease from their parents, that have no chance in the world to be a human being practically, delinquents, prisoners, all sort of things, just marked when they are born. That to me is the greatest sin that people can commit" (Watch the interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsrOPDdbTzM.)
Margaret Sanger's thinking is against the human race and in favor of abortion, sterilization, infanticide and "family planning" targeted toward the disabled, low-income persons and those not of certain European heritage. For Margaret Sanger, who spoke at KKK rallies, Planned Parenthood and their likes it never was and is still not about reproductive rights. It's always been about reproductive racism, sexism, elitism, etc. Watch this Maafa 21 video http://maafa21.com/, and read this fact sheet by The Rebecca Project for Human Rights http://www.rebeccaproject.org/images/stories/Fact%20Sheets/depo-provera-deadly-reproductive-violence-rebecca-project-for-human-rights-2013.pdf; "Over the past two years, the Rebecca Project has investigated, documented and interviewed scores of women and girls, deducing that birth control providers serving low-income women and girls such as Planned-Parenthood characteristically decline to inform patients about the FDA's warnings concerning Depo Provera. However, health providers are mandated ethically to inform women of harm and to post FDA Depo Provera Black-Box warnings on websites -- instead of misleading and misinforming families about the drug's dangerous side effects."
Do you have an abortion, sterilization, infanticide, Depo Provera, Norplant or other "family planning" experience to share?
No matter what color we are we can be enslaved by the slave-master mindset. God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit calls people to freedom. 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 Amplified Bible says, "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom). And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit."
Free people are faithful to research ways to stay out of slavery and to fight for freedom. Proverbs 18:15 Amplified Bible says, "The mind of the prudent is ever getting knowledge, and the ear of the wise is ever seeking (inquiring for and craving) knowledge."
Dr. Alveda King, a niece of Christian Minister and Civil Rights Activist Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, has African, Native American and European ancestors. She is also a Christian who talks about her heritage, the mix of heritage Americans possess, and her "family planning" experience in this Civil Rights and the Pro-Life Movement speech given at Villanova University https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zj4JAbHvw9U.
Alveda King's grandfather had a dream about her before she was born, and he encouraged her mother not to abort her. His dream came true. Alveda King is alive today and full of life. Women and girls are hurt by abortion. Men and boys are hurt by abortion too.

Jesus welcomes people. Jesus even welcomes young children who are not wanted, planned or possessing a perfect physique. Yet some seek genetic testing to kill the disabled. A doctor suggested Andrea Bocelli's mom have an abortion because her son might have a disability. She didn't follow his advice. 1 Timothy 5:25 Amplified Bible says, "So also, good deeds are evident and conspicuous, and even when they are not, they cannot remain hidden [indefinitely]." Andrea Bocelli, who is the biggest selling Classical musician in history, blind and a father, says he is glad to be alive; and he shares his story in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QfKCGTfn3o&feature=youtu.be. Do you have a good deed to share?
Some unborn boys and some unborn girls survive attempted abortions. Baby Ana Rosa Rodriquez survived an attempted abortion, but had her arm sliced off during the attempted abortion. Gospel Singer Fred Hammond survived an attempted abortion. Watch him tell his story here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXOM99fm1A8. Abortion caused Claire Culwell to be born with club feet and dislocated hips. She survived the attempted abortion, her twin did not. Culwell is adopted and learned about her past by finding her birth mother who sought an abortion when she was 13. Watch their story here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=571B4ZiIZ_Y.
Are you an abortion survivor? Share your story. Joyce Meyer writes in her book Joy redefined Loving Others, "It is impossible for you to be happy if you don't get your mind off yourself and start reaching out to help someone else."
While God does not always like what we do with the human physique, God likes the human physique. God also designed for parents to enjoy the sexual relations that may lead to starting a new human life. In Song of Songs/Song of Solomon 7:11 New Living Translation Bible a wife/lover says to her husband/lover, "Come, my love, let us go out to the fields and spend the night among the wildflowers." How wonderful to come to life through married parents making love in the outdoors! Or perhaps your mother laid on the beach with her legs and feet extended up as her husband lay across her creating fantastic friction when you were conceived?

Even when married couples are past the age of reproduction, God designed for them to enjoy sex. Love licks (Japanese for oral sex,) sexual intercourse and other love making are better than cannibalism or euthanasia. Read my articles "An Appetizer, the Main Dish or Among a Smorgasbord of Love Play" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/03/an-appetizer-main-dish-or-among.html and "Awesome Aging" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/02/awesome-aging.html.
Because God loves us, God does not will for us to have partner sex outside of marriage. Because God loves us, God wills for us to enjoy sex inside of marriage. God does not want any of us to be afraid of sexuality and try to stomp it out. God created sexuality. What God creates is good, beautiful and excellent provided we participate in God's creation according to His design. God designed sex to bond marital couples. Sometimes sex leads to reproduction. Read my article "Fearless Sex" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/01/fearless-sex.html.
Sexual sin doesn't have to stop us from enjoying fearless sex. Have you participated in killing an unborn boy or an unborn girl? If we are in relationship with God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit, abortion and any other sin does not separate us from the love of God. Stop sinning, and shake off shame and condemnation. Acts 3:19-20 Amplified Bible says, "So repent (change your mind and purpose); turn around and return [to God], that your sins may be erased (blotted out, wiped clean), that times of refreshing (of recovering from the effects of heat, of reviving with fresh air) may come from the presence of the Lord; And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah), Who before was designated and appointed for you—even Jesus."
Enjoy friendships with the opposite sex and the same sex, and if marriage is God's will for you, also enjoy sex with your spouse. John 10:10 Amplified Bible says, "The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)." Refuse to allow shame and condemnation to steal the joy and the feast of sex with your spouse.

Christopher Yuan says he was strangled by a boyfriend/lover in his book Out Of A Far Country A gay son's journey to God. A broken mother's search for hope., and he continued to stay in the relationship for a while. How did he escape sexual slavery? "I didn't leave homosexuality because I thought it was so bad...I left homosexuality because I found something better, and His name is Jesus," Yuan says. Christopher Yuan's story is not I'm sorry I got caught in my sins, wish to keep on sinning while God wipes out the consequences of my choices, but a story of real change and love of God. Proverbs 28:13 Complete Jewish Bible says, "He who conceals his sins will not succeed; he who confesses and abandons them will gain mercy."

In this interview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doiWP2SQx2E Chen Guangcheng, who is blind, a husband and a father, talks about his nephew, Chen Kegui who is the husband of Liu Fang and father of a young son named Chen Fubin, and, he notes that Chen Kegui was put in the same jail shortly after Chen Guangcheng escaped China that Chinese authorities put Chen Guangcheng in after he filed a 2005 class-action lawsuit against forced abortion and forced sterilization. Chen Guangcheng also encourages people to blog in this interview.
"Numerous forced-abortion tragedies occur in China every single day," says Pastor Bob Fu, president of China Aid Association and author of the book God's Double Agent The True Story of a Chinese Christian's Fight for Freedom in which one of the subjects Bob Fu writes about is how he, his wife, Heidi Fu, and their first child, Daniel Fu, escaped a forced-abortion tragedy that loomed over the family because Heidi Fu was pregnant without a pregnancy permission card required by China's one-child policy. Most people do not escape China's one-child policy that includes forced abortions and forced sterilizations.

Truth And Reconciliation Needed, Part 16
During the time of African American slavery, some free African Americans lived with Native Americans. Ottawa, Seminole and other Native Americans also sometimes provided refuge for escaped slaves. African American James Beckwourth was born on a plantation in Virginia. Later he lived with the Crow Nation, married the daughter of a chief and became a Crow chief himself.
Luke 13:29 New Living Translation Bible says, "And people will come from all over the world—from east and west, north and south—to take their places in the Kingdom of God."

It's always been about reproductive racism, sexism, elitism, etc. Watch this Maafa 21 video http://maafa21.com/, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFJNX5bHYVI and read this fact sheet by The Rebecca Project for Human Rights http://www.rebeccaproject.org/images/stories/Fact%20Sheets/depo-provera-deadly-reproductive-violence-rebecca-project-for-human-rights-2013.pdf; "Over the past two years, the Rebecca Project has investigated, documented and interviewed scores of women and girls, deducing that birth control providers serving low-income women and girls such as Planned-Parenthood characteristically decline to inform patients about the FDA's warnings concerning Depo Provera. However, health providers are mandated ethically to inform women of harm and to post FDA Depo Provera Black-Box warnings on websites -- instead of misleading and misinforming families about the drug's dangerous side effects."
Do you have an abortion, sterilization, infanticide, Depo Provera, Norplant or other "family planning" experience to share?
In this interview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doiWP2SQx2E Chen Guangcheng, who is blind, a husband and a father, talks about his nephew, Chen Kegui who is the husband of Liu Fang and father of a young son named Chen Fubin, and, he notes that Chen Kegui was put in the same jail shortly after Chen Guangcheng escaped China that Chinese authorities put Chen Guangcheng in after he filed a 2005 class-action lawsuit against forced abortion and forced sterilization. Chen Guangcheng also encourages people to blog in this interview.
"Numerous forced-abortion tragedies occur in China every single day," says Pastor Bob Fu, president of China Aid Association and author of the book God's Double Agent The True Story of a Chinese Christian's Fight for Freedom in which one of the subjects Bob Fu writes about is how he, his wife, Heidi Fu, and their first child, Daniel Fu, escaped a forced-abortion tragedy that loomed over the family because Heidi Fu was pregnant without a pregnancy permission card required by China's one-child policy. Most people do not escape China's one-child policy that includes forced abortions and forced sterilizations. A woman subjected to a forced abortion at nine months of pregnancy shares her story here http://www.womensrightswithoutfrontiers.org/blog/?p=1327. This article includes a letter from a woman subjected to a forced abortion and a forced sterilization http://www.chinaaid.org/2012/07/sister-guo-yanling-christian-in-guangxi.html; also "Her family home was forcibly demolished, all their assets were stolen, and she was placed under administrative detention."
China has implemented a new anti-rumor law. Read here http://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/access-09102013102331.html for more information about the new anti-rumor law which has impacted Chen Guangfu, Chen Guangcheng's elder brother, and others. Don't be intimidated. Chen Guangcheng isn't. He's still speaking out for human rights. New York University rejected Chen Guangcheng. Now he's affiliated with the Witherspoon Institute, the Catholic University of America and the Lantos Foundation for Human Rights and Justice which also with individuals and with groups like http://www.savesaeed.org is working to free Pastor Saeed Abedini who is imprisoned in Evin prison in Iran because of his Christian faith and works. Ephesians 4:14-15 Amplified Bible says, "So then, we may no longer be children, tossed [like ships] to and fro between chance gusts of teaching and wavering with every changing wind of doctrine, [the prey of] the cunning and cleverness of unscrupulous men, [gamblers engaged] in every shifting form of trickery in inventing errors to mislead. Rather, let our lives lovingly express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly]. Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him Who is the Head, [even] Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)."
God wants us to live the best possible life. Deuteronomy 28:13 Amplified Bible says, "And the Lord shall make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you this day and are watchful to do them."
When Rafael, who has autism, and I go to restaurants we don't usually see persons with autism, Down's Syndrome, intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy and other disabilities. Increasing the wage of service providers to the disabled would help the disabled enjoy restaurants with wait staff. Deanna Copeland is a service provider for Andrea Hood and only makes $1,400.00 monthly. Read their story here http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/08/disability_rights_advocates_fa.html.
Also as a society we need to embrace the behavior of people who act differently. Rafael eats with his hands. People in Ethiopia and other cultures eat with their hands. Read my article "Food, Love and Marriage" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2012/07/food-love-and-marriage.html.
Elaine Riddick is an advocate for the disabled. She is also an advocate for people forcibly sterilized, for unborn boys and unborn girls killed by abortion and for women's health.
Instead of receiving healthcare Elaine Riddick was forcibly sterilized by the state of North Carolina nine months after she was raped by a neighbor and was giving birth via a C-section to her son conceived through rape. Watch this CNN interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzYQLHHCxq8 in which Elaine Riddick says about her state-sponsored sterilization, "Later on because of my body was traumatized so severely I ended up having to have a total hysterectomy. But prior to that before I had the hysterectomy most of my life was I had to live in a whole lot of pain, hemorrhaging. When I got my monthly cycle ... it felt like someone had taken a knife and was gutting me .... My menstrual cycle ... wasn't normal because it lasted ... 12 to 15 days at a time, and this happened from the time ... after I had my son from the time I was 14 until I got into my 40s when I eventually did have to have a total hysterectomy."
Are you a victim of American state-sponsored sterilization? A Persian proverb says, "Opportunity should be grabbed." In North Carolina $10 million is to be split equally among those sterilized through the North Carolina Eugenics Board.
A Latino proverb says, "No hay tiempo como el presente" (There is no time like the present.") Compensation claims must be filed by June 30, 2014, for victims to receive a one-time payment to be distributed June 30, 2015.
North Carolina had a eugenics board from the 1930s through the 1970s through which social workers, family and others arranged for people to be sterilized. If you think you are one of the victims, you can ask the North Carolina Justice for Sterilization Victims Foundation to check the North Carolina Eugenic Board's records by completing and mailing them this form: http://www.sterilizationvictims.nc.gov/documents/FirstPartyVerificationform.pdf. Sometimes people are not able to speak up for themselves and need advocates. If you are not a victim, but are an advocate for a victim, you can ask the North Carolina Justice for Sterilization Victims Foundation to check the North Carolina Eugenic Board's records by completing and mailing them this form with required attachments: http://www.sterilizationvictims.nc.gov/documents/ThirdPartyVerificationform.pdf. These forms are verification and not a guarantee of compensation.
In South Africa Desmond Tutu retired as archbishop to head the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that exposed many of the evils done under apartheid, so that evil may be stopped and good promoted. North Carolina is not the only American state that did state-sponsored sterilizations.
Cindy Trimm says in her book Commanding Your Morning, "Think big and think detailed!.... Become a visionary--be creative. Take the limits off your mind! Think beyond where you are.... Ask God to enlarge your capacity for thinking, to take the limits off." Other American states besides North Carolina and other nations need to apologize to, financially compensate victims and erase all forms of "family planning" evil.
The door to evil has not been closed. US Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote in the 1927 Buck v. Bell case upholding American state-sponsored sterilization, "It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes.... Three generations of imbeciles are enough." Like Roe v. Wade which legalized abortion in America Buck v. Bell has not been overturned.

Luke 13:29 New Living Translation Bible says, "And people will come from all over the world—from east and west, north and south—to take their places in the Kingdom of God." Dr. Alveda King, a niece of Christian Minister and Civil Rights Activist Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, has African, Native American and European ancestors. She is also a Christian who talks about her heritage, the mix of heritage Americans possess, and her "family planning" experience in this Civil Rights and the Pro-Life Movement speech https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zj4JAbHvw9U.
Alveda King's grandfather had a dream about her before she was born, and he encouraged her mother not to abort her. His dream came true. Alveda King is alive today and full of life. Women and girls are hurt by abortion. Men and boys are hurt by abortion too. Read my article "Do Fathers Have a Say in Abortion and Frozen Embryos?" http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/01/do-fathers-have-say-in-abortion-and.html.
Jesus welcomes people. Jesus even welcomes young children who are not wanted, planned or possessing a perfect physique. Yet some seek genetic testing to kill the disabled. A doctor suggested Andrea Bocelli's mom have an abortion because her son might have a disability. She didn't follow his advice. 1 Timothy 5:25 Amplified Bible says, "So also, good deeds are evident and conspicuous, and even when they are not, they cannot remain hidden [indefinitely]." Andrea Bocelli, who is the biggest selling Classical musician in history, blind and a father, says he is glad to be alive; and he shares his story in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QfKCGTfn3o&feature=youtu.be. Do you have a good deed to share?
Some unborn boys and some unborn girls survive attempted abortions. Baby Ana Rosa Rodriquez survived an attempted abortion, but had her arm sliced off during the attempted abortion. Gospel Singer Fred Hammond survived an attempted abortion. Watch him tell his story here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXOM99fm1A8. Abortion caused Claire Culwell to be born with club feet and dislocated hips. She survived the attempted abortion, her twin did not. Culwell is adopted and learned about her past by finding her birth mother who sought an abortion when she was 13. Watch their story here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=571B4ZiIZ_Y.
Are you an abortion survivor? Share your story. Joyce Meyer writes in her book Joy redefined Loving Others, "It is impossible for you to be happy if you don't get your mind off yourself and start reaching out to help someone else."
While God does not always like what we do with the human physique, God likes the human physique. God also designed for parents to enjoy the sexual relations that may lead to starting a new human life. In Song of Songs/Song of Solomon 7:11 New Living Translation Bible a wife/lover says to her husband/lover, "Come, my love, let us go out to the fields and spend the night among the wildflowers." How wonderful to come to life through married parents making love in the outdoors! Or perhaps your mother laid on the beach with her legs and feet extended up as her husband lay across her creating fantastic friction when you were conceived? Do you have a conception feasting love story to share? Write to:

Because God loves us, God does not will for us to have partner sex outside of marriage. Because God loves us, God wills for us to enjoy sex inside of marriage. God does not want any of us to be afraid of sexuality and try to stomp it out. God created sexuality. What God creates is good, beautiful and excellent provided we participate in God's creation according to His design. God designed sex to bond marital couples. Sometimes sex leads to reproduction. Read my article "Fearless Sex" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/01/fearless-sex.html.
Sexual sin doesn't have to stop us from enjoying fearless sex. Have you participated in killing an unborn boy or an unborn girl? If we are in relationship with God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit, abortion and any other sin does not separate us from the love of God. Stop sinning, and shake off shame and condemnation. Acts 3:19-20 Amplified Bible says, "So repent (change your mind and purpose); turn around and return [to God], that your sins may be erased (blotted out, wiped clean), that times of refreshing (of recovering from the effects of heat, of reviving with fresh air) may come from the presence of the Lord; And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah), Who before was designated and appointed for you—even Jesus."
Enjoy friendships with the opposite sex and the same sex, and if marriage is God's will for you, also enjoy sex with your spouse. John 10:10 Amplified Bible says, "The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)." Refuse to allow shame and condemnation to steal the joy and the feast of sex with your spouse.

Christopher Yuan says he was strangled by a boyfriend/lover in his book Out Of A Far Country A gay son's journey to God. A broken mother's search for hope., and he continued to stay in the relationship for a while. How did he escape sexual slavery? "I didn't leave homosexuality because I thought it was so bad...I left homosexuality because I found something better, and His name is Jesus," Yuan says. Christopher Yuan's story is not I'm sorry I got caught in my sins, wish to keep on sinning while God wipes out the consequences of my choices, but a story of real change and love of God. Proverbs 28:13 Complete Jewish Bible says, "He who conceals his sins will not succeed; he who confesses and abandons them will gain mercy." Watch Yuan talk here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEDG2xxDGAg,
Have you come out of sexual slavery?
Margaret Sanger of the American Birth Control League which became Planned Parenthood was against beautiful, balanced, Biblical sexuality and reproduction. She says in an interview with Mike Wallace, "I think the greatest sin in the world is bringing children into the world that have a disease from their parents, that have no chance in the world to be a human being practically, delinquents, prisoners, all sort of things, just marked when they are born. That to me is the greatest sin that people can commit" (Watch the interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsrOPDdbTzM.)
