Just a Few Questions, Lord

Lord, why is it that when we see articles about aborting your babies, we move on to something else ... and even sometimes get angry? Why do we argue among ourselves about that? Is it true, even in these days of scientific break throughs, that some of your people still believe that abortion is not the killing of a Human Being? Isn’t it strange that the killing of babies, which used to be considered evil at one time, is now considered . .a right? Even we that are graced enough to still deem it to be wrong, vote for abortion proponents without a fight. Knowing of the politician’s abortion voting record, why do we vote for them anyway with some other excuse in mind? Oh Lord when you return; .. just what will you find? You said, “Love each other as I have loved you.” ...Will we argue with You also when our life here is through? You see Lord we were only voting for the “ choice” to kill your babies. Choice is the key word here, don’t you see? I’m sure You must understand legality. We wouldn’t kill them ourselves. We only pay others to do it with our taxes etc. So if others I vote for push for laws to "legally" kill them, what’s that got to do with me ? I didn’t vote for them on that account, it had to do with the economy you see. Am I my brother’s keeper? Besides, those babies have never met me. You also said, Lord, “Seek ye the Kingdom of God and all else will be given unto you.” Knowing what really happens when we vote for “choice”, is that still seeking the Kingdom of God? So Lord, I was thinking….. Your statement about Seeking the Kingdom of God … ..and all else shall be given unto you….. Is that choice too? Is voting for politicians that we know push for more abortion rights.... Is that seeking the Kingdom of God .. if they call it "Choice" or "Women's rights"? And if not … what will we get if we choose not to seek it ... you know... by voting for one who has a record of pushing to kill Your babies. Isn’t that our choice too? Do we get to vote on that, Lord? I mean, You know, voting on what we want that statement of Yours to mean? Let us know about that okay, Lord? I thought for sure you already had. Thanks for your time Lord. I mean .. seriously … Thanks for “YOUR Time.”

Hi Robert, I love your work you know. Quite a controversial topic you have chosen to write and pray about;thank you for your courage to share. I understand both sides of the issue. I'd like to raise a question; what is the right thing to do when a 14 year old is raped/molested and ends up pregnant by her abuser? What if she were 12? Would the "right" thing to do be to have her continue to re-live the torment, have the child and decide to give it up for adoption? Trading one life for another? Lay
