All I was saying is that abortion is part of the GOP legacy. I agree that some single issue voters get carried away, but the sad thing is that many of them are duped into voting for the GOP because it's supposed to be the "pro-life" party. That simply isn't the case anymore. The GOP is every bit pro-choice as the Democratic Party. My "single issue" is simply to try to restore our constitutional republic. I believe that I am doing God's will when I cast my vote in that respect.
I do understand that we are to submit to authority but that does not mean that we should trample on God's Word in so doing. Would you suggest that my wife should obey a law that limited us to only one child and required her to have an abortion if she ever became pregnant again? I don't think for a minute that you would.
Jesus' disciples were some of the best examples of civil disobedience. They preached the Gospel of Christ which was against the law as far as the Jews and Romans were concerned. I understand your position but I also understand the position of those "single issue" voters. They see abortion as tantamount to murder, which is specifically condemned in Scripture. Many of them feel they would be violating God's command by voting for a pro-abortion candidate. The same principle applies to other areas. Some people won't go to a bar because they believe that an establishment like that is advocating drunkenness. Others won't rent movies from certain video stores that also rent or sell pornography. I could go on but you get the idea.
True, some people may be putting a "single issue" above all else but that's not the case with every voter who takes a stand against abortion.
If you are eligible to register and vote, you are a participant in the system whether you want to be or not. By not voting you are increasing the value of the votes of those who do vote.
If you are content to let others pick the people who make the laws that govern you, you should not complain about the laws they make.
