Abortion Is Not A Political Issue
June 27, 2010
The life of a helpless infant does not equate with taxes and spending
Our series of articles on Bringing Christians Home On Abortion is directed toward this year’s crucial elections. Had just 10% of the Christians who voted for Barack Obama voted their Christian faith on abortion, America would be a different country today. Definitely something to think about.
Abortion has been sold to America as just about everything except what abortion really is. The taking of an innocent child’s life. And the most successful ruse perpetrated by radical feminists and the abortion industry has been to frame abortion as a “political issue”.
Politicizing abortion has served the dual purposes of 1) equating abortion with mundane subjects such as taxes and spending in the minds of the American people, and 2) attempting to intimidate religious leaders and organizations on the grounds of the non-existent principle of “separation of church and state”.
While the pro-abortion lobby’s polarization of America – women versus men, left versus right, democrat versus republican, and Catholics, Evangelicals and Orthodox Jews versus “moderate Christians and Jews” – is political, the taking of a helpless infant’s life is anything but mere politics.
Abortion, in fact, is not a political issue. The American people have never been given the opportunity to vote on any aspect of abortion. Instead of the Roe v Wade mandate foisted upon America by seven judges, imagine the response to a 1973 national voter referendum that asked
Given that since 1871 the American Medical Association has held that human life begins at conception, should the government of the United States Of America grant parents the right to terminate the lives of their unborn children by dismemberment, decapitation or poisoning, at any time during pregnancy, for any reason?
Would abortion have been legalized? How would pro-choice Christians, who are supposed to believe that every child is conceived in the image and likeness of Almighty God, vote on such a ballot referendum today?
We ask our pro-choice brothers and sisters to view the following video, in which Father Frank Pavone demonstrates a common abortion procedure.
On what level does the dismemberment of God’s children, your brothers and sisters in Christ, equate with taxes, education or foreign policy?
As for “separation of church and state”, that phrase exists nowhere in our constitution. One of the distant left’s biggest and loudest lies, “church and state” is a misrepresentation of the Non-Establishment Clause, which prohibits the federal government from establishing an official national religion. Nothing prohibits any citizen from allowing their religious beliefs to influence their decisions in the voting booth.
When all else fails, the pro-abortion lobby dusts off the bible and quotes the “render to Caesar” passage.
Jesus does tell us to pay our taxes. But only God creates life, therefore, according to the “render” passage, all life belongs to God. Thus, in the case of an innocent unborn child, the “render” passage actually affirms that “Caesar” has no right to authorize the taking of that child’s life.
Abortion has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with an innocent, helpless child’s right to live. To be spared the inhuman barbarity of the abortion mills, as depicted in Father Frank’s video. No person who claims to profess Christ can reconcile support of abortion with the tenets of Christianity, simply because abortion is one of a hundred planks in a political party platform.
Millions of Christian faithful pray daily for their brothers and sisters who have gone astray on abortion. Praying for you to come home and stand in defense of Jesus’ “little ones”.
But if love and prayer just can’t quite do it, pro-choice Christians might do well to take a moment and envision the future. God, surrounded by the souls of 50 million infants, slaughtered by some of the most barbarous methods imaginable.
And you explaining about separation of church and state.
