From Pastor Mark Grothe: After everyone spoke, including Laura Rosecrans, from The HUB of NM, who shared her testimony, Mimi Stewart, one of the committee members who heard the statements, made a remark, “They get therapy afterwards anyway.” We have to take pause for a minute here. Why would someone who is in office make such a remark? Does she not realize how damaging that remark is? It’s already been said but that is just like saying to a child who is being abused or a woman who is being raped, “You can just get therapy afterwards.” These are the types of statements we hear and wonder why more are hurting. It is almost as if they have no empathy for the hurting.
Then the final decision was that this did not pass. However, from statements made from those who were there standing for this, this did not feel like a loss but a Spiritual Victory. Even those who were against it did not feel they has a victory.
Let’s pray for our leaders in our cities, our state and our country that they would repent and hear Our Lord. Let’s pray our country will turn way from the negligence we are allowing. It is things like this that people turn to addictions.
