Political Frustration

I am not a political person, so I don't profess to know much. But, I do know what is right and what is wrong.

I am thrilled that we have broken new ground in our country this election by having a black man running for president and a woman chosen as a vice president. But, there seems to be a great cost in such triumph.

Some women are angry that a woman is in the running because they feel that it is nothing more than a strategy to get more women voters instead of voting on important political issues. But, that is a far cry to me from what is going on on the other side.

While I am excited that we have our first black candidate, I will not be voting for this man. I cannot, in good conscience vote for him.

Why?

Because he is okay with killing the unborn because he doesn't understand it. What is there to not understand? I am a legally blind woman and even I can see little hands, feet, arms, lets, heads and torsos in abortion videos. If that's not a human being, then what is it?

But, my frustrations go deeper than that.

The other thing I just don't understand is why people support him on this issue. I know there are some people out there that are in agreement with abortion, but I don't understand how some of those people could be Christians.

I have a friend who is so blinded by Obama's charm that she will vote for him regardless of his abortion views. To me, regardles of which political party I belong to, this would be a deal breaker. I could never vote for someone who accepts, allows and encourages abortion as an acceptable choice for women. What happened to the rights of the unborn? Who will speak for them?

I will. Will you?
