I received an email forward from a cousin with a pro-life video attached. The video finished with biblical support of its gist that life is sacred.
"A fate worse than death" has become a common expression. However, the origin of the expression is from experiences that are less common. I feel that my childhood, even with all its inherent beauty and my survival of it, was a fate worse than death. I have spent many years feeling angry with my mother for not aborting me rather than bringing me into the world she knew I would face.
Mostly I am angry that the abortion issue is an issue...again. I thought we had this one figured out. Do we really need to revisit old issues to create a political platform? How about focusing on issues that are life-enhancing, like finding ways to end using children for pornography, prostitution, slavery, multi-generational incest, and finding ways to end poverty?
I say, let's revisit the question of abortion when we get our other shit together. In the meantime, I'll use the same source as pro-lifers to make my case:
"Happy is the one who takes your babies and smashes them against the rocks!" Ps. 137:9
See? Scripture can be used to back any argument. In fact, one of the prophets saw such horrible times coming that he told people to do this to their own children. We simply cannot judge for another what the circumstances require of them. And to legislate choices is just as bizarre as smashing babies.

Oops, sorry Mrs. T.
Nice. I agree. I think the basic character of the candidates is more important on a day-to-day basis than their stance on any particular issue. In this election, McCain, with his temper tantrums and vulgar language, just doesn't have the leadership skills that Obama does. And, no, being a soldier (even one that was a prisoner for awhile) doesn't necessarily provide leadership skills.
