A Person's a Person No Matter How Small

These are the words of Dr. Suess' packederm hero, Horton, who saved the people living on a small dust speck from being boiled by the skeptical crowd. Though outnumbered, Horton alone heard the small voices and risked his own life to save theirs.

Unfortunately, this modern parable is lost on the modern day skeptics, they who would trample on the constitutional right to life of our smallest citizens, the unborn aborted children. Unfortunate, still, is that so-called Christians are partnering with a political party whose primary doctrine is to commit infanticide. In an article posted today about "aborting faith", the Family Research Council makes the following report. If you find in this that "you are the man" (2 Samuel 12:7), where you are guilty of this grievace sin of supporting such practices, the time has come for you to repent and receive forgiveness.

In a passionate speech on what it means to be "pro-life," Archbishop Charles Chaput spoke Friday about the disservice done by Christian voters who are abandoning the abortion issue. More churchgoers seem to be twisting faith to fit their politics instead of evaluating candidates through the lens of faith.

Speaking as a private citizen, Chaput talked about the crisis of conscience in this election. "I believe that Senator Obama, whatever his other talents, is the most committed 'abortion-rights' presidential candidate of either major party since the Roe v. Wade abortion decision in 1973. Despite what [others] suggest, the party platform Senator Obama runs on this year is not only aggressively 'pro-choice,' it has also removed any suggestion that killing an unborn child might be a regrettable thing.

To suggest-as some Catholics do-that Senator Obama is this year's 'real' pro-life candidate requires a peculiar kind of self-hypnosis, or moral confusion, or worse." For more, please read Professor Robby George's article at http://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/.
