The issue of abortion is loaded in the US and in the evangelical church, but we must discuss it. John Mccain, despite his not-conservative-enough policy position on various issues for some of us to be really excited about him, is stridently pro-life and has a long voting record to support his claim, and for this reason, he has my vote.
Barrack Obama, on the other hand, has proven to be the most pro-abortion candidate to ever seek the office of president in this country. Below are links to several articles that detail both his record and his attempt to coverup his record to appear more pro-life than he is in reality.
Along these lines, as I mentioned in a previous post, some of the students here at Hillcrest are participating in the Day of Silent Solidarity on Tuesday, October 21st. I was sharing with Larry about this day last week and he asked me to speak on this issue Sunday morning, so this Sunday morning I am preaching on the value of life and what the church needs to be doing to promote a culture of life as a way of sharing the gospel with our neighbors and the larger contexts in which we live. This issue is the dominant moral issue of today, and evangelicals must not tire of defending the rights of the unborn despite the growing tide of pro-abortion policies and public officials.
Check out the below stories. They are truly eye-opening...
Obama and Infanticide
Not Cool: Obama's Pro-Abortion Stance
The Freedom of Choice Act
Obama's Abortion Extremism
A Helpful Summary Of Obama and the Abortion Issue
While I do not believe that there is a Christian health care policy, a Christian tax policy (except to pay Caesar what's his Romans 13:1-7), or a Christian energy policy, the issue of abortion is first and foremost a moral and theological issue, and the issue is settled by Scripture. I'll be discussing this and its implications Sunday morning.
