Did not HR 3400 (not 3200) speak to these principles? Most of our Reps are deaf and dumb. Political expediency is put way ahead of principle. Thank God for a few good men who understand convictions and principle. May God increase their tribe!  Thank you and your staff, Dr. Land, for your incisive article and courageous stands.

I was brought up a Baptist in the 1950’s to early 1960’s. Segregation was promoted in many sermons. In one sermon the preacher said that being black was the mark of Cain. I have not been back. Now I’m a Christian without a Church. Some of my ancestors came to Manhattan Island in 1632 and founded the Baptist Church. You have forgotten the basic premise of what they started. Do not impose your religious beliefs on the government. The Baptists continue to force their beliefs on the government from the pulpit and lobbying efforts. You are antiabortion. Yet God made us so that a considerable percentage of fertilized human eggs are not viable. When they are not expelled, a procedure called by you, abortion, must be performed to save the life of the mother. The potential baby is dead. I believe life begins at birth. You want the government to include your misguided beliefs into the health bill. Look at the history of the Baptist Church too see where you started on the wrong track. Bill
