Barack Obama? And abortion.......

I have never done a political post, per say, but since i am voting in this election, i thought i might....... This isn't entirely random though- its something that, for me, hits quite close to home.

I was saddened when i first heard this story. Barack Obama refused support on a bill that would grant some healthcare to babies this survived a botched abortion. I am surprised, but more saddened than anything.......


And then again, i am not so surprised. Christians have become of the culture. We call ourselves Christians and then shop abercrombie & fitch, curse, throw away our virginity, drink, party, eat at Hooters. God is full of forgiveness, but i think He has rules as well.......


Obama, on the Illinois senate floor, denied that these babies were 'persons'.


A nurse at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois, Jill Stanek, testified in 2000 and 2001 to the United States Congress. She spoke to them about how 'induced labor abortions' were done at Christ Hospital.

"One night, a nursing co-worker was taking an aborted Down's Syndrome baby who was born alive to our Soiled Utility Room because his parents did not want to hold him, and she did not have the time to hold him. I couldn't bear the thought of this suffering child lying alone in a Soiled Utility Room, so I cradled and rocked him for the 45 minutes that he lived."


Matthew 25:41-46 comes to mind-"Then He will also say to those on His left hand, 'depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; I was a stranger and oyu did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me'. Then they also will answer Him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?' Then He will answer them, saying, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.' And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."

When i hear stories like this, i am absolutely crushed. I wish i could show God's love through me to every 'unwanted' child out there. But they are wanted. We just just dont give them the chance to live. Because we are broken, we are sinful, we are fallen. I can only hope and pray that, as a nation, we come to God in our brokeness and seek His redemption.
