It may be true that you are against an abortion here or there. You conveniently break it down into categories and statistics such as the life of the mother, rape and incest, abortion for convenience, for sex selection, or do so by method of killing, the age of the child, if they partially born or have birth defects, etc. But the baby doesn’t know or care about any of those things – neither does God.

You are supposedly against those over there, but don’t oppose those over here. But you are really not against the concept, just its application (in certain cases).

Your language and your actions prove you are not against abortion in principle.

First, it is quite apparent from statistics and common sense that Christians are snuffing out their own children and grandchildren at an alarming rate. (If you find the bluntness of the idea that professing Christian families are “killing their own children” off-putting, consider yourself already worked over by the evil one.) Many evangelicals are using abortifacient (child-killing) forms of birth control without batting an eyelash, too.

Second, if you believe in any exceptions, it means you are pro-choice. It ought to be cold comfort to you that you have a smaller dumpster full of dead babies that have your stamp of approval than Barack Obama does. Imagine if you tried this foolish logic concerning any other segment of the population: “I’m against killing high school quarterbacks, except those whose fathers have a criminal record? or I oppose school shootings except in Texas” These exceptions matter because God says “Thou Shalt Not Murder” and these are people.

Can you imagine Mitt Romney, receiving the conservative’s vote if he said publicly, “I’m against terrorists murdering our ambassadors in our own embassies, except for when….” We are rightly angry at Barack Obama for his apparent silence or acquiescence in the face of the brutal murders in Libya, but don’t hesitate to cast a vote for Mitt Romney who has said—nay, fought for—the right of tens of thousands of mothers to brutalize and murder their own children, because of the crimes of the father.

Would you vote for Romney if he said that it was okay to murder businessmen, Jews or anybody in a wheelchair?

What if Romney said he wouldn’t oppose new legislation that gave further protection to all of our American embassies except for those in Israel?

Conservatives are outraged that Obama singles out the wealthy for his taxing wrath and rightly so, because we know the rich deserve the equal protection of the law. Yet, Romney gets a pass on his willing failure to protect all of the little people. It is because Republicans are pro-choice, too. See who we are choosing to be our standard-bearer and our next president?
