Why pro-life individuals can not in good conscience tolerate abortion. When a woman gets pregnant that pregnancy will lead to a human baby. With today’s science we know that the heart begins to beat at 7 weeks, by 10 weeks the baby look exactly like a human baby. It is a baby, not a fetus, not tissue. The baby is not part of the mother’s body, it is a totally separate life force from the mother. What the mother’s body does is house and feed the baby. This is just what a mother and father do when they bring a newborn baby home from the hospital. It is illegal to kill a newborn baby brought home from the hospital even if this is done through ignorance or neglect. As pro-file people (Christian or not) we believe that every baby is a living human being, a totally separate entity from the mother. When we are asked at what point in development is it okay to kill the little defenseless human being our answer is actually a non-answer. How can we answer that. I guess I would say how can it ever be okay to kill this little defenseless human being.” Most Americans agree that killing this little human being by partial birth abortion (because of the late date of the abortion the baby is partially born and then killed) is abhorrent. Most people agree that anything after viability (the point at which the baby could live outside the mother) is wrong which is usually considered 20 weeks. However, what this pastor is trying to tell you is that President Obama supports abortion at any point in the pregnancy even the abortion I mentioned above. His support goes beyond that very troubling stance. He supports and voted for 3 times to not even provide basic life saving measures to baby’s born alive during failed abortions. Which does happen more than you might imagine. This in unconscionable for most people but especially for followers of Christ like the pastor. What he was trying to say is if you call yourself a Christian how can you support a pro-death policy such as this. Abortion is a frightening and sickening way to deal with an unplanned pregnancy. It can leave lifelong physical and mental scars on many young girls and women. Many women continue to morn the babies they have aborted. Statics tell us that many young girls and women who have had abortions end up getting pregnant again quickly because of the whole that abortions leaves in the heart of its victims. Please give this topic some consideration away from political talking points. Thank you for your attention.

Remember Christians are not perfect and Obama can not be held to be perfect. Abortion is wrong and Obama has taken the wrong road with this one. But the other option is a Mormon who is also not perfect and is taking the wrong road with helping those in needs aka NOT THE RICH! Remeber we have free will, even if abortion is made legal its the individual who CHOOSES that act that has to repent and face judgement with the one and only judge GOD. We are all sinners who have made and make mistakes. Obama knows in his heart its wrong but got caught up in the must win by all cost…maybe for the greater good??….Remember the Lord has already spoken -Its time for a change- dont be clouded there are many sins in the bible being played out in politics…too many stones being thrown at the wrong one…you have to pick your poison…pray on it and ask for clarity…

The POTUS is consistently dividing us along the lines of race and class not to mention he is supposed to be mining the store but is totally clueless about America’s business. NO amount of practice or use of a teleprompter is going to help our inept POTUS.

This article is way out there. The author says he’s a Christian : ” one who is a committed follower of Jesus Christ as my Savior and Lord, I believe that the Bible is a divinely inspired book of proven principles, ideologies and truths by which we should anchor our society and conduct our lives.” That sounds really good as I’m one that truly loves my lord and savior Jesus Christ and his principles…..however no wear in my beliefs or faith is it even thought that this world’s principles are founded on the Lord’s. Christians can’t have it both ways…….

this government is not the government of the Kingdom of God and never will be…hence the need for the lord to destroy or rather purify both heaven and earth that a new heaven and earth come forth….New Jerusalem shall come down from heaven that the lord will dwell among the saints…for he shall be their God and they shall be his people. Not now….you see the bible that you read says that we (true Christians) are pilgrims and strangers in the land….this is not our official home….if you really want to be technical true Christian don’t take part in government affairs…from the bibles stand point….but since most do vote shouldn’t our stance be one of choice ?

That every individual that lives here should be protected by it’s nations constitution ? Tax paying citizens irrespective of their race , color , creed…etc… they all deserve to be protected by the same laws….hence their citizenship…..FOR THE RECORD THIS GOVERNMENT OR OUR NATION SHOULD NOT BE RULED BY ONE SET OF CITIZENS PRINCIPLES…NOT MINE OR YOURS BUT WE THE PEOPLE…OF THIS NATION….CHRISTIANS THIS IS NOT OUR OFFICIAL HOME TO GOVERN….WE NEED TO GOVERN OUR HOME BASED ON OUR FAITH BUT NOT OUR NEIGHBORS…there are many things I don’t agree with however we must consider those that are constant such as the POTUS…Romney is not constant…he on both sides of your argument…..

you just don’t know what you’re getting that’s the problem with him…remember HE WAS FOR IT BEFORE HE WAS AGAINST IT…even LGBT…so we just don’t know what he really stands for..

No Vote Obama = 1 Vote Romney. But yes, BHO Christian Values are non-existent in any meaningful policy way.

And no, using Gov.t Force to tax and redistribe is not Christian. Jesus did not want Government to do what individuals should do to help the poor. Remember give to Cesar what is Cesar’s and God what is God’s.

It is so said to sit here and read how many of you people that Obama has brainwashed. This man is ruining this country. The debt he is leaving for the men to try to fix that come after him is ridiculous. And the support of gay marriage, you just cannot consider yourself a true Christian if you support that. I have no problem with homosexuality, that is your choice. But I will never support the marriage. Call it anything else. I hope someone takes him out before he has a chance to ruin this country any more. While that too is not very Christian, something needs to be done to stop this man that the zombies in this country are turning into their own god.

Obama is against the bible? No not really yes his platform is pro choice..pro marriage of same sex but….In sticking with the bible, God has given ALL of us choices. Obama promoting these platforms does not necessarily mean that he agrees with them as did Mitt Romney who did agree with Pro Choice and then changed his platform to garner the votes. Even if Obama were re elected, God will give people the choice to either choose abortion or get married to one of the same sex…however there is a consequence to either from GOD and God alone. Not from man. These people who do this choosing would have to answer to God on judgement day not us. So that is only two issues I hear Christians say they will not vote for Obama. Now for Romney….He is against the entire bible in his thinking. Matthew 6:19-21 ESV “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” He has more money than any of us will ever see and hides it in Swiss Banks and Cayman Islands and doesn’t show his taxes. He isn’t thinking of treasures in heaven accept possibly becoming a God himself if elected according to his church.

James 3:14
14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth. He isn’t FOR the people he is FOR himself.

(Lev 19:4) Do not go after false gods, and do not make metal images of gods for yourselves: I am the Lord your God.Romney believes he will become God with good deeds according to his church.

(1John 5:21) My little children, keep yourselves from false gods. Romney believes that God originated as a Man..does not believe The Father, The Son and Holy Spirit. The Trinity where all three are one.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6) For those that do not believe and accept this they are eternally separated from God in hell.

Romney believes There is more, before the three degrees of glory and after earth life. After you die, your spirit goes to the Spirit World. The Spirit World is divided, sort of, into Spirit Prison and Spirit Paradise. Those in Paradise are \’Mormons\’ who have lived good lives and done all that they should have. Those in Prison are those who, for whatever reason, have not accepted the gospel. Either they didn\’t get the opportunity to in their mortal lives, or something. Those in Paradise do missionary work among thier fellow spirits, teaching the gospel. Here on earth, we do temple baptisms for these dead spirits, and they choose whether to accept it or not.

Although Mormons are usually friendly, loving, and kind people, they are deceived by a false religion that distorts the nature of God, the Person of Jesus Christ, and the means of salvation. So how is Romney following the guidelines of the bible? The Mormons believe they are the only ones that will get to the highest plane of Heaven. They baptize the dead without their knowledge as Romney did his father in law who was an Atheist. So tell me now Romney is more of a bet than Obama. I think I will stick to Obama whether I agree with his abortion and same sex marriage platform because those are choices we can all make under God’s word ourselves. We do not need government telling us…God has spoken!

Obamacare – Obamanation – Obamahood: Mitt Romney the devout Mormon, may have lowered his standards to win this Presidental election. For decades The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS) – The Mormons and its faithful church members have taken a strong, and very vocal unalterable stance against gambling in any form including lotteries, sweepstakes, racetracks, and casinos. Sheldon Adelson (CEO of the Las Vegas Sands Corporation and Venetian Macao Ltd.) son of a Ukranian Jewish immigrant (also financier of Romney’s recent visit to Isreal), and his wife recently gave $10 million to the pro-Romney super PAC named Restore Our Future. Adelson the Las Vegas casino magnate has pledged to spend $100 million to defeat Obama. Adelson’s very large contributions can easily make Romney a shoe in for the President of the United States. It will probably be after Romney officially wins the GOP nomination at the National Republican Convention in Tampa, Florida in August 2012 that the American public can expect this Super PAC money to be spent in massive negative campaign ads against Obama.

Im so tired of people saying they oppose something based on the bible or christianity. It makes us look gullible. I am a christian but I believe in a concept of treating people right and that there is ultimately a greater power. I don’t prescribe to everything in the bible as it has been shaped by man across time. Now here is why I oppose gay marriage. It erodes the foundation of our society, the family unit. Homosexuality has been around forever but lets not fool ourselves into believing it is normal behavior, if it were right they could procreate together without donors, adoption, or surrogates. Here is why I oppose partial birth abortions. It is wrong to birth a child and then purposely destroy that child to convenience an individual who could have practiced better birth control. If it is a product of rape and the baby is partially alive, what’s wrong with adoption. Nothing to do with the bible, just things that are wrong, wrong.

MsYBBG, who made the first comment, has summarized my comment perfectly:

“So who do you vote for? People who legislate wars on impoverished nations? Or people who vote to put young ones who are alive and well to death? People who legislate to imprison instead of heal? Do we vote for legislators who abuse children and commit adultery? Do we vote for those who legislate guns into the hands of mass murderers who had committed no prior crimes, but are mentally ill?”
