IT IS NO SECRET MARRIAGE IN
AMERICA IS IN CRISIS.
DIVORCE RATE SITS AT NEARLY 50%.
IT IS JUST AS BAD IN THE
CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY.

LISTEN TO COUPLES WHO REPAIRED
THEIR MARRIAGES AND TURNED
RELATIONSHIPS AROUND BY BUILDING
A MARRIAGE ON THE ROCK.
FIRST IN NEWS, CATHOLICS ARRIVED
IN ROME TO CHOOSE A NEW POPE.
NO CLEAR FRONT RUNNER.
EPHRAIM GRAHAM HAS THE STORY.
LET US PRAY THAT THE HOLY
SPIRIT MOVES IN THE CHURCH TO
CHOOSE A NEW POPE.
REPORTER: THE 115 CARDINALS
MET FOR ONE LAST TIME TO DISCUSS
ISSUES.
THOSE DELIBERATIONS END TUESDAY
WHEN THE CONCLAVE ENDS INSIDE
THE SISTINE CHAPEL.
EVERYONE BUT THE CARDINALS.

SAID TO BE WIDE OPEN AS

SHOULD BE SOMEONE WITH CHARISMA
OR A MANAGER.

CHRISTIANITY FACING PERSECUTION.

REPORTER: A MUSLIM MOB
ATTACKED A CHRISTIAN
NEIGHBORHOOD.
HUNDREDS OF RAMPAGING MUSLIMS
TORE THROUGH THE CHRISTIAN
COMMUNITY DESTROYING 170 HOMES.
FUELLED BY A CHRISTIAN MAN THAT
HE BLASPHEMIED PROPHET MOHAMMED.
SUNDAY THEY MARCHED IN ISLAM BAD
CALLING ON THE PAKISTANI
GOVERNMENT TO ATTACK.
IT IS CLEAR THAT GOVERNMENT
OF PAKISTAN HAS FAILED TO
PROTECT THE RIGHT OF THE
MINORITY.
MINORITIES ARE THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
GOVERNMENT.
THIS IS JOB AND RESPONSIBILITY
TO PROTECT THEM.
IF 200 HOUSES HAVE BEEN BURNED
IN THE PRESENCE OF THE POLICE.
THAT IS A CLEAR INDICATION.
REPORTER: BLASPHEMY AGAINST
MOHAMMED IS A SERIOUS CRIME IN
PAKISTAN AND CARRIED THE DEATH
PENALTY.
THOSE LAWS ARE USED AS AN EXCUSE
TO PERSECUTE CHRISTIANS.
THIS MAN, SHABAZZ, BATTI WAS
MURDER AFTER PROTESTING
PAKISTAN'S BLASPHEMY LAWS.
U.S. CONGRESSMAN SAYS AID TO
EGYPT SHOULD BE LINKED TO THAT
COUNTRY'S TREATMENT OF
CHRISTIANS.
FRANK WOLF JUST RETURNED TO THE

WOLF WARNS THE MIDDLE EAST,
HOMELAND OF CHRISTIANITY IS AT
RISK OF LOSING ALL THE CHRISTIAN
POPULATION.
HOUSE BUDGET COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN
PAUL RYAN SAYS IT INCLUDES A
REPEAL OF THE NEW HEALTH CARE.
HE BELIEVES IT WOULD SAVE MONEY
AND BETTER FOR AMERICANS HEALTH.
WE BELIEVE 'OBAMACARE' WILL
ACTUALLY LEAD TO HOSPITALS AND
DOCTORS AND HEALTH CARE
PROVIDERS TURNING PEOPLE AWAY.
IT IS A PROGRAM THAT PUTS
MEDICARE UNDER THE CONTROL OF 15
PEOPLE ON A BOARD THAT WILL
DETERMINE WHAT KIND OF BENEFITS
PEOPLE GET.
WE DON'T THINK HEALTH CARE IS
IMPROVED IN THIS COUNTRY.
REPORTER: NOT EVERY
REPUBLICAN BELIEVES IT IS
POSSIBLE TO REPEAL OBA'OBAMACARE.'
DOLLAR IS GETTING STRONGER,
THREE AND A HALF YEAR HIGH
AGAINST JAPANESE YEN.

THESE EXERCISES INVOLVE SOME
10,000 SOUTH KOREA AND 3,000

BABY IN THIS COUNTRY ON THE
BASIS OF ITS SEX.
A BILL TO OUTLAW FAILED LAST
YEAR.
AS HEATHER SELLS REPORTS IT IS
AT THE STATE LEVEL.
REPORTER: FOR YEARS, DESIGNER
BABIES OR GENDER-BASED ABORTIONS
SOME U.S. COUPLES ARE MAKING
THAT CHOICE.
CULTURAL ATTITUDES ARE MAKING
THAT DECISION.
MORE LIKELY TO HAVE A BOY IF
FIRST CHILD IS A GIRL OR FIRST
TWO CHILDREN ARE GIRLS.
CONCLUSION, THESE FAMILIES WANT
BOYS SO MUCH THEY WILL USE IN
VITRO FERTILIZATION TO GET WHAT
THEY WANT.
DESIRE TO USE GENDER PLAYS OUT
AT THIS CLINIC WHICH SELECTS
EMBRYOS ON THE BASIS OF SEX AND
MORE ACCEPTANCE OF GENDER FOR
ABORTION.
EVERYBODY WANTS WHAT IS
CONSIDERED TO BE THE PERFECT
CHILD OR FAMILY.
THIS IS THE WORST FORM OF
DISCRIMINATION POSSIBLE.
WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT
DISCRIMINATION OF PAY OF JOB OR
BENEFITS BUT THAT KILLS.
THAT LAW HAS BANNED STATES
TO CONSIDER ABORTIONS SOLELY ON
THE BASIS OF SEX.
IN WASHINGTON, CONGRESSMAN TRENT
FRANKS WANT TO REVISIT A BILL
THAT DOES IS SAME.
THE STAKES ARE HIGH BECAUSE SUCH
A LAW COULD CHALLENGE ROE V.
WADE.
IF THIS LEGISLATION PASSES,
IT SETS UP A PROFOUND CONFLICT
WITH ROE V. WADE.
IF IT IS ALL RIGHT TO PROTECT A
CHILD FROM BEING ABORTED BECAUSE
OF THE WRONG SEX THAT IS EQUAL
PROTECTION ISSUE.
IF WE PROTECT ONE GROUP, IT
REMOVES ANY EXCUSE FOR NOT
PROTECTING THEM ALL

THE EARTH IS IN A COSMIC
SHOOTING GALLERY AND ONLY A
MATTER OF TIME UNTIL A SPACE
ROCK HITS AGAIN.
APPARENTLY ANCIENT MUM MYS HAD
CLOGGED ARTERIES FROM EGYPT,
PERU, AMERICAN SOUTH SOUTH AND
ALASKA.
HEART DISEASE COULD BE A NATURAL
PART OF HUMAN AGING AND MIGHT
NOT BE TIED TO SMOKING, EATING,
UNHEALTHY FOODS AND NOT
EXERCISING.
IT HAS BEEN STOCKING MAN KIND
FOR 4,000 YEARS ALL OVER THE
GLOBE.
CRITICS WARN READING TOO MUCH
INTO THE RESULTS THERE COULD BE
OTHER FACTORS THAT CAUSED THE
CLOGGED ARTERIES AND MANY
STUDIES SHOWING LINKS BETWEEN
LIFE STYLE FACTORS AND HEART
DISEASE.
PAT AND TERRY?
PAT: IT IS ALL THE SAME.
I TELL YOU WHAT DID IT TO ME
TODAY, ARE YOU READY?
WE TURNED OUR CLOCKS AHEAD.
I WAS LOOKING AT THE CLOCK, I
HAVE ANOTHER 40 MINUTES.

TERRY: AHEAD OF YOURSELF.
PAT: TOTALLY OUT OF IT.
ANYHOW, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
