Do people have a right to believe that abortion is wrong? Absolutely. <BR/>But don't tell me John McCain would have brought about the hope, and inspiration of last night. <BR/><BR/>I honestly cried watching his speech. I have a daughter that is a different color than most of the little blonde girls she knows. I don't want her to EVER think that she can't do something because of the color of her skin. Obama's audience was filled with black, whites, hispanics, young, old... It was beautiful. THAT is what I want my children to see. THAT is what I want to represent my country to the world.Still Sanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16785634468659782940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577873997695087786.post-65038262426393113662008-11-05T14:50:00.000-06:002008-11-05T14:50:00.000-06:00shame on the parent who allowed that to come out o...shame on the parent who allowed that to come out of their mouths in the presence of their children! Now there are kids out there who actually think that our next president is a baby killer - do these parents have any idea what they just put on their children?!? Shame, Shame, Shame!!! and if I knew the parent who did that I would shake my finger at him/her!mommy to an angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04859055385556057051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577873997695087786.post-78601308479737159472008-11-05T14:48:00.000-06:002008-11-05T14:48:00.000-06:00Yep--That one is on the top of my list also to tal...Yep--That one is on the top of my list also to talk to Miss M about. I know it's not her fault but I still think they should know. I know you would agree that we pay too much $$$ for our kids to get that type of education. And who knows..maybe an 8th grader put 2 and 2 together and said it.Leeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17556155436257755658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577873997695087786.post-28989194199316084052008-11-05T14:46:00.000-06:002008-11-05T14:46:00.000-06:00One last thing before I go back to my corner.

I could talk all day about small business taxes, civil service requirements, ANWAR, school choice, free radio, and lots more.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03279956477604083080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577873997695087786.post-80996809671203129782008-11-05T14:40:00.000-06:002008-11-05T14:40:00.000-06:00I said "for me" it was a deal breaker.

I was simply trying to state why I was not comfortable with it. I am fully aware of the way the ban was written and how it was presented. <BR/><BR/>I also was upset when my daughter came home and reported the term "baby killer" I intend to talk to her teacher tomorrow at conferences about it.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03279956477604083080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577873997695087786.post-36437596223621260922008-11-05T14:27:00.000-06:002008-11-05T14:27:00.000-06:00I don't think we should judge people by one view t...I don't think we should judge people by one view they have, true or not. Is that what Jesus would have done? Would he have judged a person just because of one attribute? I don't think so. The issue is a big one, but maybe people should stop and think about what they are saying in front of their kids. Aidan came home yesterday telling me the kids at school said that Obama is a baby killer. Shame on the parent that says this stuff not just to each other, but to their children. My innocent 6 year old boy--going to a Christian school said this horrible thing. It brought me and still brings me to tears.Leeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17556155436257755658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577873997695087786.post-33087073826209685262008-11-05T14:14:00.000-06:002008-11-05T14:14:00.000-06:00I'm glad it's over too!Most people supporting Obam...I'm glad it's over too!<BR/><BR/>Most people supporting Obama are educated on his stance as far partial birth abortion and KNOW that Obama voted present on the ban because it was placed before him as an all or nothing ban!<BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGZOyxfiNoU <BR/>Obama attempted to include an exception to the ban for certain cases and it was rejected! Did he vote against it? No, he voted "present"! Not for it, not against it!<BR/>Continue to watch the clip above and watch McCain's reaction - how did anyone with a uterus vote for this guy? To wiggle your fingers and basically dismiss any woman out there who has been faced with this horrible lose-lose situation - either your life or your child's life! In the US there is approximately 11 maternal deaths for every 100,000 live births. Obama is basically saying, I am not going to tell these women that they can't have an abortion to save their own life!<BR/>What's not to respect? <BR/>I respect a woman's life enough to say that if your health is at risk and this is your choice, by all means it should be available to you! Would I do it myself? I can't say that I would! I don't think I could. I have a feeling I would turn towards God for strength, healing and comfort and know that God has a plan. Not everyone out there is able to do that.mommy to an angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04859055385556057051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577873997695087786.post-15487911520588317802008-11-05T13:27:00.000-06:002008-11-05T13:27:00.000-06:00Ugh!!

I will respect him as our president b/c that's what the office commands. I cannot respect him as a man when he voted against the Born Alive Act and against the Partial Birth Abortion Ban. I also agree that there is a lot of gray area in the issue of abortion. I'm sorry but for me, those two votes are deal breakers.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03279956477604083080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577873997695087786.post-11255244920045820062008-11-05T10:47:00.000-06:002008-11-05T10:47:00.000-06:00I know I turn to the bible more when things are ba...I know I turn to the bible more when things are bad and I think that is the same for many other. It shouldn't be that way, but I know it is for many. I think as Christians we find that we NEED God when things are going bad, but that we can do it on our own when things are going good! I want to get better about this and realize that I need God at ALL times!mommy to an angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04859055385556057051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577873997695087786.post-47671136981211539392008-11-05T10:34:00.000-06:002008-11-05T10:34:00.000-06:00Great post Shawnie!!
