“Jesus on the ballot” is a straw man.
You admit that Romney is pro-abortion. But you admit to no conviction about voting for him.
So, killing millions of babies is obviously negotiable for you.
OK, that may be a straw man in regards to Romney, but it’s applicable to the rest of this thread which is about voting for lesser evils. We know all candidates are going to fall short of Jesus. If we were voting for Jesus, it would be a very easy decision, but we’re not. At what point can I vote for a sinner without conforming to the world and aiding evil?????
No. Killing millions of babies is not negotiable for me. I don’t want to kill babies, but there was no option (in the 2012 general election) that could produce a nationwide abortion ban. Abortion is just one sin—a very serious one to be sure, but there are many others. How much sin disqualifies a candidate? What if a candidate wants to ban abortion but isn’t willing to pass laws making it murder? Does that disqualify them?
If one is absolutely pure on abortion, i.e. abortion is murder; therefore, we need laws and candidates willing to punish abortion like murder, we will probably never vote again. Even if we DID have a candidate like that, there is zero chance that that candidate would win.
I’ll grant that situations like Romney are really stretching the lesser of two evils argument, but some here will not vote for any perceived RINO. That’s their right, and I respect that. I’m simply saying that can result in something even worse. In the case of abortion, we might end up with a ghoul like President Obama who not only endorses and promotes abortion but wants to use our tax money to pay for it.
