So here’s a viewpoint from this past Thursday’s (11-30-23) Red State vs. Blue State Debate (Florida governor Ron DeSantis vs. California governor Gavin Newsom) that you’ll probably NEVER hear on either CNN or FOX News – the Christian perspective. Evangelist Todd Friel of the popular Podcast, “Wretched” uses the SLED (acronym for: Size, Level of Development, Environment, Degree of Dependency) formula to best identify a ‘Fetus in the Womb‘ from a Biblical standpoint. This video, which is very well-worth watching, is only 10 minutes in length. Enjoy:

Kurt Wuelper, vice president of the New Hampshire Right to Life organization, was my guest for this episode of, ‘Frankly Speaking’. Since Wuelper appeared on my show about two weeks earlier, we had more than enough material regarding the Pro Life agenda for a second episode, hence this was ‘Part 2’ of our conversation. This interview took place in the Nashua Public TV studio on, 9-13-23.
We started off the show with a Meme with someone holding up an infant with the inscription that less than 1 percent of all Abortions pertained to either Rape, Incest, or Life or the Mother, hence, according to the author of the Meme, more than 99 percent of the Mothers who have Abortion were just selfish and inconsiderate. Wuelper argued that it was really tough to tell “WHY” any woman goes through with an Abortion because there aren’t really any statistics or records kept.
Along the same lines as the aforementioned Meme, Pro Life advocates often invoke a hypothetical scenario as if we were in Heaven throughout all Eternity and got a chance to ask Jesus himself “WHY” He allowed so much humanity waste away via Cancer, Alzheimer’s, ALS, Muscular Dystrophy, etc.? Would Jesus possibly respond and say that He did create people destined to cure all those diseases but they were all Aborted by their Mothers? Wuelper responded and said it was his beliefs that we could never have Love without first experiencing Pain. The V.P. of NHRTL then went on to cite the Biblical excerpts between God and Job, when God asked, “Where were you when I did…etc., etc. Wuelper then brought up Paul the Apostle when he talked about how we’re all God’s workmanship and to do ‘good works’ there must be some suffering in the process.
Then when I asked Wuelper on how would he respond to a Pro Choice advocate who would accuse him of being very “selfish” and “inconsiderate” for not agreeing to use aborted fetus parts for medical research, Kurt said, “It’s never easy to do the Right Thing.”
We also talked about RU-486, a.k.a. Mifepristone, the Abortion pill, etc., and it’s Side-effects.
We discussed how different faith backgrounds could get involved with NHRTL because everybody has varying degrees of ethics and morals.
We got into the importance of next year’s Election, which Roe v. Wade could easily reverse back to Federal law, if enough people go out to vote for it. Wuelper, needless to say, along with his colleagues at NHRTL, would ideally love to see all abortions illegal, but they realize the public isn’t quite there yet. Hence, the Pro Life advocates would, realistically, like to regulate abortions here in the Granite State to, as few as possible.
I suggested joining a Facebook fan page titled, ‘I regret my abortion’, which might serve as a great counseling tool for people contemplating abortion.

Joe Bouchoc, pastor of Discipleship Connections, with the Merrimack Valley Baptist Church in Merrimack NH, was my guest for this episode of, ‘Frankly Speaking’. This interview was filmed on 6/22/23 in the Nashua Public TV studio.
Pastor Bouchoc had done a 3-4 part series, along with one of his colleagues, titled, ‘A Christian’s Response to Abortion’. Although I brought out that we were taping our interview on just about the 1-year Anniversary of the Supreme Court’s overturning Roe v. Wade, which Federally-mandated Abortions nationwide for nearly a half century, and now gives each individual State the right to initiate its own Abortion laws.
But Bouchoc assured me that the series presented in January by MVBC, had absolutely nothing to do with the Midterm election which preceded it. It was basically to afford MVBC members the opportunity to understand what some of these people experience en route to these obvious life-altering decisions.
He also described his rather “unique” position at MVBC of serving as its, ‘Pastor of Discipleship Connections’, which Jesus himself was quoted in the Bible as ‘building Disciples in all nations’.
We discussed a Pro Life meme, which proclaimed that less than one percent of all Abortions involved either: Rape, Incest, or Life of the Mother – therefore, the other 99 percent of women got Abortions just for their own convenience. Although since there was no concrete evidence to substantiate that Meme, there was a more than fair chance that it was totally False.
We also discussed the option of Adoption, adopting with the United States versus adopting Overseas, and the Foster Parenting system in this Country.
We talked about the possibility of someone helping, who’s not directly involved in an Abortion situation, in the Pro Life movement. Bouchoc said that in Elections involving Federal or State candidates, it would be a game-changer for him personally, on whether the candidate proclaims themself as either Pro Choice, or Pro Life. Getting off the subject a little bit, we discussed how even local school board races are especially important on how these candidates view current issues like Critical Race Theory, Pronouns, Woke-ism, Gender Reassignment Surgery, etc.
Another sort of off-beat topic I raised was with Bouchoc was the whole notion on whether he’d counsel someone who got pregnant if they, “had to get Married”? I told Bouchoc if either of my sons were in that situation, I’d tell either one of them that unless they thought for sure that they love that woman very much – and she also loved them – just stay Single & pay Child Support.

Furthermore, if you happen to be contemplating getting an Abortion, the New Hampshire Right to Life organization has some excellent counselors who can advise you on what your options are, its website is: nhrtl.org .
Lastly, another great option to just simply network and vent your concerns or questions, if you happen to be on Facebook.com , they’ve got a Fan Page titled, ‘I regret my abortion‘. They’ve got nearly 4000 members, 3.8K to be exact, and I would assume all of the ladies who serve as the Administrators for that Fan Page have had adverse experiences in the aforementioned subject matter.

If you could tell someone considering abortion one (1) thing, what would it be?
The aforementioned question was recently posed on the Facebook Fan Page, ‘I regret my abortion’ and a few of the responses were as follows:
Kristi D.
Memories cannot be displaced. If you think no will know and it will be easy to forget, it just isn’t possible. Every time you see a child or someone pregnant, it will be a reminder of your pregnancy and the child you don’t have now.
I lost my only child to abortion.
The relief is short lived, the burden of regret is life long!! You’re forever left wondering who that little one would have become and what they would have all accomplished.
I actually told a friend how the regret and the ‘what ifs’ can you eat you alive.
She ended up keeping her daughter and shortly after, married the dad and had another son.
When I think of my friend who became unexpectedly pregnant in college with someone she wasn’t even sure about, it makes me realize our life choices have such a domino effect.
It really is mind blowing how strongly it affects the entire rest of our lives. It’s a choice that has such a widespread ripple effect, but I don’t think most people who consider abortion even think that far ahead.
A person is declared dead when their heartbeat stops, maybe they should be declared alive when their heart is beating. Your tiny little baby already has a heartbeat. Their little life has already started and they’re trusting you to keep them safe until they’re able to take their first breath.
(And I’m not saying it’s not a baby from the conception, but most abortions occur after the baby’s heart has already starting beating, in itself declaring him or her alive)
But if anyone is Ignorant, let him (or her) be Ignorant – 1 Corinthians 14:38
So it’s now official, the Democrats have retained majority status in the Senate for at least the next two (2) years, while future control of the House of Representatives is still to be determined. Contrary to quite a few Election predictions, it wasn’t quite a “Red Tsunami” for the Republicans, heck it wasn’t even close.
Within days after the Primary election in mid-September, or about two months ago, both my mailbox and TV were inundated with ads basically stating, do NOT vote for the Republican challenger ‘so & so’ because they were just out to eliminate: “Medicare”, “Social Security”, and something referred to as “women’s healthcare” – which is basically a politically-correct phrase for Abortion. They would then add that this Republican challenger was just “too radical” or “too extreme” for New Hampshire (or probably whatever State they were in).
Funny thing, in most nationwide Polls prior to this past Midterm Election, the vast amount of American voters – like about 75 percent of them — indicated that our Country was heading in the WRONG direction. In a strong paraphrase to the question then-Republican candidate, Ronald Reagan asked the American people in his closing statements of the 1980 Presidential Debate – “Are you Better Off now, Financially, than you were just Two (2) Years ago?” In light, of the blatant Inflation increases America has been experiencing since Joe Biden was inaugurated as our President – i.e. Gas, Food, Utilities, Electronics, Vehicles, Crime, etc. – the obvious answer to that aforementioned question is BLEEP No !!!
With that all said, how the heck were the Democrats even competitive in last Tuesday’s Midterm Election? Do YOU Honestly Believe that Reelecting an Incumbent Senator or U.S. Rep to public office for 2-6 more years is going to vastly IMPROVE our Country’s Inflation or the major Crime problem in our Cities ??? Dude…Seriously?? In addition to the Bible verse I used at the top of this Thread from 1 Corinthians 14:38, that popular old cliché also comes to mind here – “The Definition of ‘Insanity’ is doing the same thing over and over and over again, and Assuming you’re going to get a different Result.”
Or perhaps the even better question here is – how the heck does seeing a zillion stupid mailed or TV ads stating that the Republican challenger in this upcoming Election is just “too Radical” or “too Extreme” for this area because they alleged plan to eliminate this, that, or the other thing; SO HOW COULD THAT EVEN REMOTELY SUPERSEDE a blatantly incompetent, incumbent elected official who has FAILED to Remedy the Inflation, or Crime situation while they were actually in public office???
Incidentally, isn’t the whole scheme behind the January 6th Committee a vain attempt to legally prevent Donald Trump from running for President again in 2024 because the Democrats realize that he’ll most likely regain his seat back in two years?
May God bless America going forward !
How can you tell there’s a major Election scheduled to take place here in the U.S.A in about another month. Specifically, it’s the Midterm Election, which is all set for Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2022. After a blatantly dismal two years (or more specifically, half his Presidential term) Joe Biden will basically receive his “Midterm” Report Card from the American people.
Although Biden allegedly received 81 million votes back in 2020, this time around, many pundits are predicting both houses of Congress — Senate, and House of Reps — are expected to go back as having the Republicans in the majority and hopefully keep President Joe Biden more accountable for his actions.
Incidentally, if you’d like to read up on the Republican U.S. Congressional candidates running in New Hampshire this year: Bob Burns is running for U.S. Rep (NH-2), his campaign website is: burns4NH.com ; Don Bolduc is a retired Army general and he’s running for U.S. Senator, his campaign website is: donbolduc.com ; last, but by no means, least, Karoline Leavitt is the Republican candidate for U.S. Rep (NH-1), her campaign website is: karolineforcongress.com .
See that — God’s NOT Dead, He’s truly Alive, and on days like today, He DEFINITELY made His Holy Presence amply available to us ALL!!!! Praise God!!
Translation: Each individual State in America will now initiate its own Laws regarding Abortions — just like it was in the USA prior to the passage of Roe v. Wade in 1973. I would assume Ultra Liberal States like: California, New York, Massachusetts, etc., will continue to have regularly operating Abortion facilities just like before. Residents seeking Abortions from Ultra Conservative States like: Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas, etc., will have to travel to an Ultra Liberal State to have that procedure done. Oh well.
(The following was published as a, ‘Letter to the Editor’ in the Keene (NH) Sentinel on May 12, 2022. This commentary was submitted by Keene resident Jason Riddle, who’s a 2022 Republican candidate for U.S. Representative in New Hampshire’s 2nd District, NH-2. Mr. Riddle’s letter is in response to a campaign fundraiser emailed out by U.S. Congresswoman Ann Kuster, NH-2, two days earlier on May 10, which Ms. Kuster cited Riddle’s involvement with last year’s January 6th Insurrection, along with the 90-day Prison sentence that he will soon serve. I can only assume that the ‘Note’ published at the bottom of this Letter was authored by one of the Editors from the Keene Sentinel.)
Why would I apologize for Annie Kuster’s actions?, by Jason Riddle
Annie Kuster’s campaign team sent out an email in response to my latest letter to The Sentinel (“I hope the insurrection does better next time,” April 26). In their attempt to solicit more campaign contributions they claim that I showed no remorse for my crimes.
My only question is why would I apologize for a riot she started? It was Annie Kuster and her cronies who stole the 2020 election. She forcibly closed down New Hampshire businesses, schools, and barred families from gathering. She forced us to wear masks and worse, she wants to mandate our health care.
Now, magically, Annie is pretending she never committed these egregious injustices. She distracts her followers from their diminishing freedoms by pandering to their feelings over Roe vs. Wade. I might be an insurrectionist, but at least I’m not a baby-killing election thief.
I will be residing in the minimum-security facility know as Devens FMC in Ayer, Mass. Feel free to write me; we have a lot of work to do. It’s time for Annie Kuster’s last stand, and I’m Chief Crazy Horse.
