Only God can Judge.

Abortion.
What a heated topic. The conservative faction of our country invests millions of dollars opposing it, the liberal, millions of dollars supporting it. There are even some for whom this is the only subject for debate, the only standard by which to judge our (soon to be) elected representatives. If they aren't pro-life, then they aren't happenin'. Looking at pictures of a child in a mother's womb, the thought of abortion makes me sick. If a pregnant mother were killed, the murderer would face two counts of murder. Yet if the mother wants that baby gone, it's "her right". What hypocrisy. I saw a shirt the other day reading "If we killed it with a gun would it make a difference?" a gruesome, yet revealing thought.
However for those who believe that pro-life is the ONLY issue, the lives of those in the womb is the only one worth fighting for... what about the lives of the ones killed in warfare? Those nameless children in Iraq are children nonetheless, those brave American and dare I say it...Iraqi soldiers are sons and daughters who will never come home for Christmas. Some say that you can't be a Christian and vote against life and if we're being recklessly honest, you can't vote Democrat. Well I ask how is it that you can be so vehement and righteous for the sake of one life and yet care nothing for those innocents who fall due to warfare? Because you cannot see their faces. Foolishness. Absolute foolishness. Who are we to decide who lives- and who dies.
