Abortion

In church on Sunday Pastor Paul brought up a good point that I had been thinking about for a while. I think it is worthwhile to write this one out.

Pastor Paul talked about how in this political season, with the election just around the corner, so much focus is being put on the economy, bailout and financial crisis in Washington, some are putting other important issues on the backburner. This is extremely dangerous. I would like to bring up the issue of abortion. Every election I vote for the republican for this particular issue. Obviously there are other issues that are important, but to me, there is no one issue that is more important than this one. Most people that would read this would think I'm crazy for suggesting that the topic of abortion is more important than what's happening in the economy, but stop and think a second, is having money in our wallets or in a 401k or other investments REALLY more important than the millions of innocent, helpless babies that are murdered in cold blood each and every year? Are we really that selfish? You could make the case that if we have a president who doesn't know how to get us out of this financial crisis we could slip into a depression and people would lose jobs, food and goods would become harder to get and our quality of life would decline. But again I ask, is even our quality of life more important than the killing of millions of babies? Something to think about.
