I recently read this article online and wanted to share it with my readers.  I have heard many argument from Christians for reasons to vote for Obama and have not heard one yet that holds water.  One argument states we simply can not impose morality on people.  This has to be on of the most absurd things I have ever heard.  We do this very thing every day.  Secondly I have heard people say that abortion should not be an issue because the laws will not change once again how absurd.  I am sure many thought the same way over slavery.  Come one.
In this article Dr. Robert P. George dealing with the arguments that Christians are giving in favor of voting for Obama. Please read the whole article here.   Dr. George’s conclusion:
Â
What kind of America do we want our beloved nation to be? Barack Obama’s America is one in which being human just isn’t enough to warrant care and protection. It is an America where the unborn may legitimately be killed without legal restriction, even by the grisly practice of partial-birth abortion. It is an America where a baby who survives abortion is not even entitled to comfort care as she dies on a stainless steel table or in a soiled linen bin. It is a nation in which some members of the human family are regarded as inferior and others superior in fundamental dignity and rights. In Obama’s America, public policy would make a mockery of the great constitutional principle of the equal protection of the law. In perhaps the most telling comment made by any candidate in either party in this election year, Senator Obama, when asked by Rick Warren when a baby gets human rights, replied: ”that question is above my pay grade.” It was a profoundly disingenuous answer: For even at a state senator’s pay grade, Obama presumed to answer that question with blind certainty. His unspoken answer then, as now, is chilling: human beings have no rights until infancy – and if they are unwanted survivors of attempted abortions, not even then.Â
In the end, the efforts of Obama’s apologists to depict their man as the true pro-life candidate that Catholics and Evangelicals may and even should vote for, doesn’t even amount to a nice try. Voting for the most extreme pro-abortion political candidate in American history is not the way to save unborn babies.
This may be slightly off topic….but does one man really have the opportunity to change something like abortion. I am not pro either candidate, but don’t a lot of politicians use the pro-life stance, simply as a vote getting method? I personally believe that churches need to be affecting there communities in such a way that life at conception is once again valued? That we can reach out a love those people in spite of what they believe. I absolutely hate abortion. Yea its good to vote for a candidate that values the moral pinnings of the Bible. But in reality….how many times is it a simple matter of getting a group of peoples vote. Thats the sad part. Politics simply suck.
I dont think it is off topic at all. Can one man change something like abortion absolutely. One man can change the world or how the world views something history is filled with such maybe they do not do it on their own but they could be the spark that indeed starts a movement. In this case what if that one man elects supreme court justices that are pro life and they get through. For McCain it is not “simply a vote getting method” in fact the abortion issue has hardly been raised and he definitely has not been the one to raise it.
I too believe that churches need to be affecting their communities is a way that life is valued at conception but also protecting all life. Thus church would be effecting culture. However this is all the more reason to vote pro-life. I do not believe in hate speech towards those who have an abortion or support abortion nor do I support it. I also hate abortion which is one reason why I could never vote for a candidate like Obama who leave a baby that is still alive after an abortion to dies on a stainless steal table. If this is not murder what is?
I think their are times that politicians may use some things to just get a group of peoples votes however when given the choice of pro-life and pro-abortion I will always choose pro-life.
What if one of the candidates views and thoughts were in 100% alignment, other than they were pro-choice, but the other candidate you did not agree with at all except that they were pro-life. Does or will that affect your choice? What’s really more important at that point? I mean obviously life is very important, but If other things would affect and change the country and everyone involved, would that not be a better choice for the present and future of the country? Of course this is hypothetical.
Also yea one man can change history, but you also have to have people believe in your vision and beliefs. Sadly that isn’t the case most of the times. I mean unless you threaten people with death, like Hitler or something like that, I just don’t see things changing. It would be an act of God.
Sorry if that seems to be rambling.
Me just thinking out loud.
I think the post I just made answered that question. Honestly I dont think I can bring myself to vote pro-choice even if I agreed 100% with that candidate in everything else. For me abortion is murder and for me to support such a candidate is to go against everything I believe. In this election fortunately I do not have to worry about that because I definitely am far from agree with BO on anything.
I believe things can change I especially believe it can happen with pro life judges on the supreme court. I believe that one day Roe v. Wade could be overturned.
