Why we vote pro-life

I am sure many of our blog readers are of like mind. Some are not. Although I have always been adamantly pro-life (since I understood abortion in high school), having our miracle has taken it to a new level. I can't even fathom how anyone could allow abortion to occur. Women (or girls) that choose abortion, often make that choice because they feel they have no other choice. Not only am I adamantly against abortion, I try to help women (and men) know and understand they have a choice...a choice for life. And if they have had an abortion in the past, I try to help them understand forgiveness is available through the grace Christ.

Now...to those in government that choose abortion for our country, there is no excuse. And there is no excuse to those who elect them into office. Have these elected officials NOT seen the pictures of aborted babies? Of course they have. Yet they choose to allow this procedure which kills 4,000 innocent babies every day in the US. Abortion is far worse than any holocaust, any genocide, any war the world has ever seen.

I watched a YouTube video yesterday. Paul and I were both in tears. I hope you will take 5 minutes to watch this video. I met Jill Stanek when I worked at Priests for Life. God bless her for speaking out against the atrocity of born-alive abortions. Senator Obama has voted 3 times against a bill that would squelch this practice. Regardless of his "personal views" on abortion, he is no friend to the unborn, or those who claim to be pro-life. How can we find middle ground when he is in favor of letting babies die cold, on a table. I was very close to throwing up watching the discussion on abortion in the last debate.

I thank God every second of every day for the gift of H. My heart hurts for those that have made the choice of abortion....and I pray they find forgiveness. But for those that make the choice to allow abortion to continue, and those that elect them into office - God have mercy.

i hate to say anything because it such a controversial subject for many...

in my opinion, politician choose to be pro-life or pro-choice more to galvanize a block of voter than because of their belief of the issue. i believe it also helps draw attention away from other area where they may be lacking or weak in.

i don't see pro-life and pro-choice as being mutually exclusive. God gave us the free will to chose him or to sin. why should we take away a person's God-given right to choose. isn't abortion the issue, not the choice? perhaps we can focus more on creating an society and environment of love, tolerance, and compassion so when one is faced with the choice, they chose life automatically. forcing people only creates more hostility, hatred, and resent...

The truth is the government overstepped its bounds when it legalized Roe and Doe in the first place.

The ultimate issue, is not about what the woman does (chooses) for her body...The issue is about what happens to the innocent life within her.

Abortion is murder, worse than what happened in Nazi holocaust. If someone wants to choose to sin, fine. When that choice involves killing another human being - that is not acceptable. It is against everything our country was founded upon (Right to Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness).

Thanks for commenting Chris. I write this with respect for our friendship and your opinion.

P.S. I Love being a Grandma and pray for those who never will get the opportunity, or lost out because of "CHOICE for abortion".
