Trumps

We've been hearing, here in our little corner of the world, that we as Christians should not let the abortion issue "trump all the others" in the choosing of a presidential candidate.

I'm having a hard time with hearing that. Of course there are many issues that are important, but if you really believe that abortion is murder, it has to trump the other issues. If it were slaughter of one-year-olds there would be no question at all. None.

For a vivid image of the sheer enormity of this issue, check out Lilibeth's blog. She and her senior Bible class made a visual to try to get the numbers in perspective. This is a must see. It surprised them, and anyone else who has seen it.

Slaughter is the perfect word for what is legal to do to the unborn.
Have none of these "pro choice" people ever seen an ultra sound of a baby in utero?

It's always haunting for me to see visuals. The comparison of the holocaust to abortion makes me shudder too. It's a trump in my book too.

I don't get how this could NOT be the main issue. This is the only one that affects a person's life or death.
