A fetus when unwanted and a baby when wanted. hmmmm.

Just to be clear, I did not write this article. It was written by Bryan Dockens. I agree with his points, which is why I am sharing it here, but I don't want to take credit for his work in putting this together. That being said, understanding the great importance of this issue should naturally influence our vote (should we choose to participate in the election process), for two reasons: First, this is a moral issue before it is a political one. Christians may have different views on certain political issues, but moral issues are far more important than political ones. Second, we must understand the role God has ordained for government. Romans 13 teaches the responsibility of civil authorities to punish evildoers. Implied in that is the need to protect the innocent. What group is more innocent and defenseless than the unborn? So not only is abortion an abomination morally, but civil leaders are also divinely obligated to punish those who deliberately end the life of one of these children. Thanks for the comment Greg.

I had a long discussion with a friend who was upset with me because this issue influenced the way I vote. She, like many others view pregnacy as a medical condition and that responsibility for a living person does not start until birth. She also feels that as a man I don't have a say in the issue as it is about a woman's body. I really appreciate Andy’s comments and pointing out what side of the debate God falls on.
