I ask you to remember that God works through us. Recall the man trapped on his roof by the flood who refused the boats and even the helicopter because ‘God was going to save him’ and thus drowned, having totally missed the help that God had in fact sent.
You do not know God’s purposes nor the fullness of His wisdom and providence. You cannot be sure that He is unable to work through John McCain to effect His will. I cannot be sure He cannot do so through Barack Obama.
Now, I am clear about the ethics of embryonic cell research. It is callously using the remains of children already killed in abortion. This is truly unconscionable. So we never stop saying so (and we hope people like Hannity, who have every reason to take this postion, start saying so). We work to sway the man who has the real chance to defeat the far inferior and far more dangerous competitor. How is this not a proactive, pro-life strategy? Do we supinely assume that what John McCain says today is his permanent belief and will permanently anchor his policy decisions? I will not do so.
I will do what I can to protect every innocent life and to convince others to do the same, especially those who can act to end the current murderous legal standard in the cases.
