Two examples rates an all caps "ALL"? Hmmm...

The 'New Testement' clearly states that all the leaders or all nations 
are there at god's will, as there is only god's will and that you must 
submit yourself to that will. In your country's example: Richard Nixon 
was the leader when it was made it illegal for individual states in the 
US to ban abortion. That (according to the New Testament) was god's 
will.

Romans 13: 1" Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities,
for there is no authority except that which God has established. The
authorities that exist have been established by God."

In case you think the Catholic catechisms have allegorical symbolismed 
that point into irrelevancy:

Catechism of the Catholic Church 1918 "There is no authority except from 
God, and those authorities that exist have been instituted by God" (Rom 
13:1)."

When Ford maintained the US law making it illegal for individual states 
to ban abortion, that was god's will. When Carter, Reagan, Bush Sr., 
Clinton and Bush Jr. maintained that law, that was god's will. 
Similarly, when Stalin made abortion illegal in the former Soviet Union, 
that was god's will as well (again according to the New Testament).

The one about killing people who pick up sticks on Saturday, is FROM the 
'Ten Commandments"...
