a must read!

i have been getting annoyed lately at the number of my friends who push their political views on facebook. i've felt like saying: "hey, listen, why don't you go spout your opinion where it actually counts, you know, on your ballot." i didn't think i would get involved-- i believe that my political opinions are just that: mine!

however, i came across an article today that is a must read! of course, read it if you choose to. but please know that it comes highly recommended! let me tell you a little bit of why i am posting it on my blog:

i am and always have been pro-life. i believe that life begins at conception. GOD, Himself, says so in His word.

well, even being the extremely pro-life person that i am, i too became intrigued with sen. obama about four years ago when he spoke at the democratic national convention. i bought one of his books. it was very interesting, he has a way with words. as a result of the book and MANY other influences in the liberal city i was living in, i found my political views growing more liberal as my time in college grew, although i was still VERY pro-life. i found it almost easy to make my Christian views coincide with the liberal agenda (i've learned, now, that they generally do not!).

about a year ago, when barack obama became more of a national figure, i even considered that he may be a great choice for president! after all, it was hard not to get wrapped up in his eloquence, excitement and "vision."

i even went and saw him speak in portland, and shook his hand! thrilling, indeed...

but something wasn't right... that night, in the convention center, he didn't mention his extreme pro-abortion stance. this last wednesday night at the final debate, he dismissed that he is pro-abortion... because, who would be?

i always knew that my pro-life stance was not in cohorts with his views, but how EXTREMELY and FUNDAMENTALLY different our stances are is made clear in this article. please read if you are at all curious as to what stance senator obama actually takes. click the link below:
