Debate

I don't like where this election is heading for pro-lifers. The debate was this evening and I can't say McCain really swept it. He spent way too much time harping on the contrast between him and Obama and not enough on answering the questions, taking Obama's jabs lightheartedly, and focusing on the issues. While I think he did his best in addressing the economy, let's face it, if it's going to come down to an economy election, which it looks like it is, McCain is screwed. If it was all about Iraq, terrorism, and Afghanistan we'd have a fighting chance, but it's not. Not with the Dow Jones plummeting like it is. When the two candidates started to get into Roe v. Wade, Obama's rhetoric was extremely tricky and underhanded. I don't care how you slice it, any vote against partial birth abortion is a good vote, regardless if it doesn't address "health." The thing though that got me to write my opinions on this in the first place was Obama's confidence in a woman's choice. He related that it was a woman's choice on the abortion based on her family's, doctor's, and religious leader's opinions. That, to use McCain's catch phrase, my friends is a scary propostion and a scary world. Obama harped on the importance of the right to privacy per the constitution...what about the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? How can we put that aside for the unborn, yet address it for sexual orientation? How can we concede and agree to disagree over the point of conception and yet heartily contend anything else when innocent lives are being taken away without any say or right. It will be a dark 4 years and we need to begin to pray for those unborn souls and their mother's decisions and counsel. God help us.
