The unborn were abandoned Sunday, and not just by Bart Stupak

bart-stupak How much was that Stupak in the window? We may never know in total.

For a start, 48 hours prior to Bart Stupak’s surrender of principles on abortion, three airports in his congressional district were awarded federal grants in excess of $700,000. Very likely, there were also some personal enticements dangled, probably reinforced with a not too subtle threat or two.

But all in all, how much could actually have been expected from a democratic congressman with a National Right To Life Committee rating of around 65%?

America’s babies were abandoned on Sunday, and not just by Bart Stupak. When the “Executive Order” on abortion funding, which President Obama fabricated to give Stupak cover, is tossed on the first court challenge it faces, there will be a lot of blame to go around for the escalating carnage sure to be inflicted upon our nation’s unborn through Obamacare.

It’s an easy matter to point to Barack Obama himself, or big name pro-abortion congressional Catholics such as Pelosi, Kerry, Dodd and Patrick Kennedy. And there are doubtlessly many self described Evangelicals in congress who participated in the abandonment of millions of innocent children to the vacuums, surgical shears and poisons of Planned Parenthood.

But we the people put these people in a position to do so. And as the evils of Obamacare begin to manifest themselves in expansion of abortion and the institution of euthanasia, many self described Christian voters will need to think twice about pointing to the speck in Bart Stupak’s eye while ignoring the log jutting out of their own eyes. (Matthew 7:3)

Candidate Obama masqueraded as a centrist on virtually every issue, especially abortion. And the liberal media gleefully aided and abetted in the deception. But the evidence was there for anyone who was truly interested.

Christians who purport to be pro-life, and yet supported Barack Obama’s candidacy, willfully deceived themselves in ignoring Obama’s career long record as a pro-abortion zealot.

The reasons/excuses for self deception were many. Christians cast their votes for Barack Obama to register displeasure with George Bush, prove they weren’t prejudiced, just try something different or because they were swayed by Obama’s rhetoric and never bothered to examine the substance. All the wrong the reasons to grant anyone the power of the presidency.

And despite the fact that Barack Obama’s resume qualified him for little more than a tenured position at USC Berkley, the most common justification Christians offered for voting for a clearly pro-abortion candidate was the economy. God just might be saying something here.

We are all paying a price for this lack of voter responsibility. And in the event all legal challenges to Obamacare fail, the fate of God knows how many innocents will be indirectly linked to Christians who should have known better.

newborn-in-mans-hand Christians who have been misled on abortion, or whose beliefs on abortion have been cowed by the distant left, need to remember that when there is a substantive difference on abortion between two candidates, the fate of millions of innocent human beings are literally in your hands.
