As most of you know, I do not get involved in politics or political parties. While there are a lot of reasons for or against my position, I believe God has called me to help build an eternal Kingdom expressed now through His Church.
Having said that, I am very concerned about a moral issue that is presently before the U.S. Senate. There is a debate as to whether or not abortion services should be included in a new proposed health care plan. Tax-funded abortions could not only increase the number of aborted babies ever year, but would violate the conscience of countless people in this nation who believe what the Bible has stated regarding the sanctity of life.
Abortion is one of the terrible sins in our society that no Supreme Court, health care bill or public opinion poll can ever legitimize. As followers of Christ, we must pray, let our voices be heard by our elected officials and then provide help and options to women who are at that point of decision.
This is not a battle we fight once and it is over. We must be continually vigilant on this issue along with other issues that affect Christian conscience.
