I posted this on Facebook this morning:

"We've prayed hard for this election that God, who is really in control, would bring into office those who would be on the side of the unborn, respect the right of conscience for health care professionals and others, and maintain a more conservative Supreme Court. 
For the first time since 1928, a Republican president comes into office with a Republican Congress. 
But with great power comes great responsibility, so let us continue to pray for the new president and congress to fulfill that responsibility to the glory of God."

In Connecticut, as we look at the likelihood of physician assisted suicide(PAS) coming back around in 2017, I'm grateful that the makeup of the state house and, especially, senate also looks promising to see this turned back again. A number of senators and representatives that were in opposition to PAS appear to have been re-elected and this is encouraging.

The Connecticut State Medical Society is re-evaluating its' previous statement opposing PAS and we pray that they will maintain the opposition rather than taking a neutral stance.
