"Abortion is a GOP policy."

And its legacy.

Absolute, utter, nonsense. Ask ANYONE on the street and the perception (much to our harm) is just the opposite. I am pro-life. But you and others need to get a clue that close to, or more than, HALF of Americans are not; and if you remove the "rape, incest, health of the mother" clauses, those numbers go up to the 80s or 90s.

For a Christian, the issue of abortion is a false god. It is placing an ISSUE above following the Holy Spirit. We are taught to obey those in authority, and to pray for those in authority. We also must use common sense, and we absolutely MUST follow the Holy Spirit. You say, "Well, the Holy Spirit would never have me vote for a pro-abort candidate." Oh really? Jesus didn't have the vote, but He DID pay taxes . . . to a "pro-abort" government---actually, a corrupt Roman government that engaged in crucifixtion of innocents as a way to teach people a lesson. Jesus met a Centurion once---a man obviously who had, due to his position, probably participated in more than a few "atrocities" of innocents. Yet Jesus helped this man's servant without a SINGLE REBUKE.

God worked through Pharaoh (a slaveowner) to move Joseph to a position of power; and He worked through Nebuchadnezzar to move Daniel to a top advisor. God constantly used non-born-again people (none of the Jews were "born again," were they?) to work His will. So clearly if there are two "pro-choice" candidates on the slate, and since God does not intends for you to abstain, He expects you to SEEK HIS WILL on which of the two may have a malleable heart, or which might cast the decisive vote. You cannot say that God does not move His will among the non-believers. Therefore, WE MUST ALWAYS SEEK HIS WILL, and not raise the false god of "abortion," or any other single issue. You never know when the person God has installed will have a sudden conversion.
