As politically oriented as I am, I have stayed away from “political commentary” on this blog.  Mostly because the blog’s purpose is not political.  But I have an issue on my mind that I think I need to write about to feel like I said something. I suppose it is not entirely a political issue either, but religious in nature also. I am not even a single-issue voter, but I’ve got a single-issue concern on my mind.

Why do persons who claim to be Catholic (specifically) not carry that faith with them into the voting booth?  The absolute least amount of work a Catholic can do to help stop the practice of abortion is to use their power as a voter.  How can you say you are pro-life and actually vote for a pro-abortion candidate?  That is an act which utterly and completely negates your espoused desire for ours to be a life loving country.

I know all too well why so many non-Christians will ask why they should become a Christian when the Christians they know do not live their faith. We are all human.  We are all sinful. We will all falter.  But voting is an intellectual act that one would suppose requires forethought.  Therefore, there is no defensible argument for being pro-life and having voted for a pro-abortion candidate. Oh, you say you wanted change!  Change from what?  We are and will remain, for the foreseeable future, an abortion friendly nation.

Over 40 million people not alive right now because of legal-abortions in the US since 1973…hmmm, guess we’ll never know how they would have voted?
