You must see this website (Audacity of Deception and Hypocrisy) before you vote in this years election for our next President. For anyone who thinks that Barak Obama has an ounce of decency, morality, integrity or pro-life bent… look at the records, the videos and hear the testimonials.
How tragic if our country chooses a leader that so obviously supports infanticide.
Politics is one of my interests. The debates, the strategies and in past years Tim Russert, his white board and Super Bowl excitement have always been fun for me to watch.
This year is very different for me. You see late time we voted for a president I was (of course) four years younger (21 that is) and had just had my first child. It was ever present in my mind that a my choice for candidate had to be pro-life.
This year is much different for me. I’ve added two additions to my clan and have come to increasingly value the unborn, the mothers considering abortion and the fathers that desperately wish for their children to live and not be cast out. While I’ve always been against abortion in theory, I’ve never been as enraged about this battle as I am this year.
For this post, I want to focus on the flaw in thinking that a vote for the candidate who is pro social justice, environmental protection, against any war, etc… but supports abortion and a women’s right to choose is a responsible, educated, rational or somehow ubber philosophical decision that only the most learned of scholars could truly understand as being somehow pro-life.
The premise is this, Obama (let’s get this clear right off the bat) has very pro-life stance because of his position on universal health care (which by the way, if you think things are bad now, wait and see what happens if UHC would actually come to pass), his stance on environmental issues and overall tone of ending war and protection of the poor. However, he very clearly is a liberal as they come on issues related to a women’s right to choose – aka the murder of millions of babies through doctor assisted homicide.
The argument is Utilitarian. The greatest good of this candidate will be offset their flaws.
The rebuttal is this, the foundation of all sanctity of life discussions has to first be brought back to why the discussion of social justice, ending war, environmental protection, etc… is even important in the first place. The reason is this, because human lives and their quality of life matter (I will never disagree with that statement). So then, we now need to define human life. Human life is separated from the rest of the animal kingdom by two things; the ability to reason and an created (thus having a beginning), everlasting soul. The often quoted verse of the Bible, Jeremiah 1:5 states “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed yo a prophet to the nations.” If a baby or fetus were to not have a soul or meaning until it was a certain age of gestation, what is that line and how can we define it. If it is the magical push through the birth canal that finally gives a baby purpose, what is so magical about that ride that creates the meaning. If it is the second trimester, why?
