In a hundred years, the Christian church will not hang its head in shame that it did so little to pass a Constitutional Amendment against the burning of the flag. In a hundred years, no elderly Christian will be looked at with suspicion by the younger generation because they didn’t do more to lower the tax rate. In a hundred years, if God should be so gracious, we will be looked upon as that godless generation of the church that watched tens of millions of babies go to their deaths. Indeed, we’ll be remembered as those “Christians” who elected men to office who believed that the state ought to protect the rights of some mothers to murder their babies.


You are correct, sir.

Agreed. The problem, to my thinking, is that abortion isn’t the responsibility of the Federal Government. It is a power left to the several States.

Medicine and marriage are regulated by the States, not the Federal Government.

... the Nazi’s killed roughly six million people.

No, the Nazis killed roughly six million Jews.

And seven million other Communists, Gypsies, homosexuals, and others deemed inconsistent with the 'glories' of the Third Reich.

I cannot vote for a candidate who supports abortion.

I just can't do it. When we fail to protect the weakest among us even at the ballot box we've failed as a nation, IMO.

Without the right to life, all other rights are meaningless.

Every factor must be weighed. Suppose a candidate buys conservative support by telling voters he is against gun control and expanding abortion rights, but votes to impose socialism on the country. Socialism has a lot of blood on its hands at least in countries where it was able to fully mature, almost as much as the number of babies that have been aborted in the US since Roe.

There are only two issues which will make me 100% oppose a candidate.

The first is abortion and the other is gun control.

The taking of innocent life is one of four sins that cry out to Heaven for justice. I, for one, do not want to be on the receiving end of that justice when it is carried out.

I will NEVER knowingly vote for a murderer. That would make me complicit in the act of murder.

To me, the death of an unborn is the ONLY ISSUE that really matters — because it is about taking a human life. No other issue holds higher. That being said, this is an issue that is impossible to legislate without hypocrisy.

A murderous “mother” who goes through abortion or acts that lead to miscarry may argue that she has right to her own body. Pro-life advocates correctly point out that the child inside is clearly not her body, rather an independent human being with his own rights.

The only NON-hypocritical solution is to register every conception so that each pregnancy is tracked to ensure human rights of the unborn. Who knows, perhaps murdering mothers would simply miscarry through many available means. If one is anti-abortion, one must be anti-miscarry as well. After all, both result in a death of a human being. All deaths must be investigated for foul play. In miscarriages, the child did not receiver nutrient properly, or the mother smoked and drank, perhaps did drugs... where does the governmental power stop? A very complex situation indeed.

If it is between a pro life and a pro baby killing candidate, always vote pro life.

If both or pro death, vote for the Republican. (They have at least a chance of voting right due to party pressure later.

The only lasting victory will come from defunding the Left. With every passing year, the Dems get more people who are dependent upon government, and willing to vote the Dem line.

I could see the Dems offering a bargain: they would agree to not oppose the elimination of all government support for abortion, along with larger restrictions on abortion access, in exchange for our side not opposing a large expansion of government. Then, five years later when the Dems have leveraged this expansion to secure complete control of all branches, they cancel what they initially agreed to, and make abortion-on-demand to the 9th month a federally funded entitlement.

What will the remaining Christians of the 22nd Century think of you then? That you were noble to seek a short term victory, or that you were fools for losing the long-term war?

The right to life is first for a reason. If a candidate can’t get the most important one right, I can’t trust him or her to be strong on any of the others.

As with Amnesty,100%. Both positions render the candidate at least highly untrustworthy on all other apparently conservative positions.

How much weight should our opposition to abortion carry in our voting decisions?

I guess you have to ask yourself how much you care about
helpless human beings being slaughtered.

I do not vote for democrats.

Ever.

The democrat party is the party of death.

About half of Republicans are also death eaters.

I volunteered as a counselor for a crisis pregnancy center for years. I believe we can turn the whole issue around and have it backfire on the pro abortionist. Many women out there feel such guilt and would love to put some of the blame on others. First understand the girls/women who get abortions

There were three kinds of women who get abortions.

The selfish militant
These women come in with almost a hate for their baby. For them it's all about “me, me, me. My life, my future....These women tend to have multiple abortions. These are hardcore liberals who only care about themselves. The militant knows we hope to change their mind, but almost take pleasure in letting us know they only want the free test. These women are evil and will gladly lead others to evil. It will take an act of God to change them.

The gullible follower
These girls actually believe that abortion is ok otherwise the government would not allow it. They tend to be young and easily lead by the militant, and are convinced pro-lifers are lying to them. Most are uneducated and have no common sense. They very much want to be accepted by people who they think are intelligent. It's as if they can't stand back and see what they are about to do. Their minds have been blinded by the evil one.

The trapped girl
Many girls/women felt they were forced or pushed into the abortion by parents, boyfriends or husbands. These girls don't want to get an abortion, but even more, don't want to lose their boyfriend, husband or be thrown out of their home. Some are abused physically, emotionally, mentally. Many of these girls are very insecure and fear they will be rejected by those who love them or scared they will be thrown into the street. Think about what kind of parent would want to kill their own grandchild, then you'll understand these girls fear. We always try to get the baby's father or parent into the office. Most times they won't come in but cases where the parent or baby's father came in, the baby was not aborted. We have wonderful men who come in to talk with the boyfriend or husband. When big life changing events happen many people overreact and make decisions they later regret.

The last two normally, in time normally regret their decision. These women have higher rates of drug and alcohol abuse and suicide. Many never get the true help they need; forgiveness from God. They suffer silently.

The trapped and gullible follower who do get help normally become our biggest pro-life advocates for the cause. 75% of women who volunteer at the CPCs aborted a baby. (I did not) it's almost a form of repentance to them. Most who come to PATH post abortion therapy healing, become a Christian.

I say this because just like the article said, one day, maybe soon, people are going to look back and ask who is to blame. I think good commercials with the facts would make people to stop and realize what this country has done. Something to think about.

I am generally not a “one issue” voter, but on abortion I have to draw the line. I would never, knowingly, vote for a pro choice, pro abortion candidate.

I am a hardliner, in that the ONLY exception I believe in, is for the LIFE of the mother. Not “health”, not “injury”, only LIFE.

I will still vote for the right candidate who is pro life with the standard exceptions.

Another "black and white" question in a shades-of-gray reality.

Abortion is murder. Any advocate of abortion shouldn't be voted for.

The problem is that we have someone on the Left who is a rabid supporter of abortion and who wishes it could be available at every corner store. Then we have a "Republican" who "thinks there might be some cases where it might be allowable".

If those are your choices, do you vote for the one with the unformed/immature opinion or do you allow the rabid pro-murder on demand guy win by default?

It's just a "social issue". The young libertarians don't want to be "festooned" by it.
