Vote Your Conscience
A Vote for Obama is a Vote for More Abortion
Approximately 1.21 million abortions took place in the U.S. in 2006. That is more than 3,300 abortions per day. Since abortion became legal in the U.S., millions of abortions have been performed. I personally have seen statistics indicating that there have been 928 million abortions worldwide since 1920 -- almost a billion! Statistics say there are approximately 42 million abortions worldwide per year. That's almost 115,000 abortions per day.
Frankly, this should make Christians vomit, weep uncontrollably, and cry out to God for mercy that He would put an end to this abomination, but eighteen percent of all abortions are performed on women who identify themselves as "Born-again/Evangelical" (however, I believe if you as a Christian had an abortion, or you before you were a Christian had an abortion, and have since been born again, God will forgive you if you ask, as is written in 1 John 1:9).
And now, here we are, a Presidential election coming up. Do we vote our consciences? Can you vote for Obama and still call yourself a Christian?
In a Washington Post article, Michael Gerson, an Op-Ed columnist said:
"But Obama's record on abortion is extreme. He opposed the ban on partial-birth abortion -- a practice a fellow Democrat, the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan, once called "too close to infanticide." Obama strongly criticized the Supreme Court decision upholding the partial-birth ban. In the Illinois state Senate, he opposed a bill similar to the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, which prevents the killing of infants mistakenly left alive by abortion. And now Obama has oddly claimed that he would not want his daughters to be 'punished with a baby' because of a crisis pregnancy -- hardly a welcoming attitude toward new life."
Kimberly Daniels in an article at http://fireinmybones.com/, speaking of Obama, writes:
"We know, for example, that he is an inclusionist. For 20 years he attended a church in Chicago that preaches that (1) Jesus is not the only way to God; (2) there is no hell; and (3) God will allow homosexuals to go to heaven even if they remain in their sinful state. Obama also has defended the killing of unborn babies, even in the third trimester.
He claims to be a Christian, but in his book The Audacity of Hope he calls the first chapter of Romans an 'obscure' passage of Scripture."
Christian: I cannot see how you can vote for Barack Obama and call yourself a Christian.
I hope this article speaks to your conscience. God says that He knit you in your mother's womb (Psalm 139:13), and knew you before you were born (Jeremiah 1:5). He also says that you shall not murder (Exodus 20:13).
Vote your conscience.
