I’m not trading the lives of babies for political gain. I’m saying it’s better to save some babies than no babies. Show me a path where I can save all the babies, and I’ll take it. That choice is not open to xzins at this time. If both candidates are pro-abort, there is no “all babies” option.
Again, I’ll save what I can when I can. It’s called being pragmatic, and there’s nothing shameful about that. I’m sure the babies who are saved now while we fight for fewer abortions in the future won’t mind that we had to compromise our beliefs in the meantime.
If you knowingly back a candidate that supports abortion you guarentee that once elected, that pols support of abortion will result in dead babies. No way around that. If you back a pol that is pro life, you will potentially save babies lives. Because that pol will not side with the pro aborts.
You can’t compartmentalize this one. No one can. Actions over this issue are life and death and the people siding with the pro abort pols share responsibility in those deaths since their actions led directly to them. When a drunk driver slams into a car and hills a pregnant mother and child, people have been prosecuted for the crime that provided the alcohol because they shared responsibility.
Same here. Because by definition, there is life or there is not. Nothing between. If your voting contributes to ‘not’ then it is what it is.
Since this line of discussion began with my saying I would support the republicans (excepting Cochran which is a special case, and according to the Miss. Supreme Court not even decided yet), I said that Scott Brown would be an additional special case. That is because I’ve heard he is pro-abortion. If that is so, I said I’d not support him...or any pro-abortion republican.
Actually, I don’t know of many pro-abortion republicans. They tend to be pro life.
For me that’s good because that is my line in the sand. However, if someone crosses that line, then they don’t get my support, nor the support of many conservatives like me who have life as their number one issue.
And it should be. Any politician who will condone murder will backstab you on anything else. They’ve already admitted that murder doesn’t bother them.
Murder is not a matter of pragmatism. It’s a matter of evil.
