Question; Respond Please
How do you feel about people who proclaim to be Christians but then are comfortable voting for those who are pro-choice? How is that possible?

I heard someone say once that for the most part during an election Christians are forced to vote for the "lesser" of the two evils.... however, this year I may just write someone in....I am very frustrated with things but I know it is our responsibility to pray and do our best.
I don't know. Very hard to think about.
I must say that I have had the "lesser of two evils" mentality myself but not when it comes to abortion. The person I am talking about I have know my entire life and I just can not for the life of me understand their stance on this.
I must say that this is a very difficult question. I think it is really easy, as a Christian, to say that you are wrong if you vote for someone that is pro-choice, but what if there are only two candidates and both are pro-choice? Do we just not vote? I don't think that is the answer either. I think we still have not only a right, but a responsibility to make every attempt to put the man in office who is going to keep us "closest" (closest is used very liberally there) to God. For instance, I'm not a fan of McCain or Obama, but it looks like those are going to be our choices this year. I have heard that McCain has had a pro-choice opinion in the past, and Obama has a muslim past & is pro-choice. So what do you do in that situation? In my lifetime, we have never had a president that believed 100% of what I do, but I still vote for who is best in my opinion. Sorry for the long comment.
Don't worry about the long comment Chad. That is what I am looking for!!! It is a very hard decision but one that we each have to make for ourselves after lots of prayer. I am not looking forward to it though.
Interesting comments. I hate to admit it, but I have more often voted against someone than for. When I view one as being more destructive to a government that would guarantee our continued religious freedom, I would be likely to vote against them. In viewing the present candidates, I went on a website that matched you to a candidate that agreed with you. It showed the closest match was Romney with a score of 38. I did not vote for him in the primary, because I thought he had changed his views too much and would be someone who would go with the polls. McCain's score was 30 but Hillary and Obama came in with a rousing 12. Not surprising. I know that there are other pertinent issues besides abortion, but the murdering of innocents should be high on our list of concerns. As for those "Christians" who just ignore it, or worse yet, try to justify it- may the Lord more mercy on them that they show to innocent babies.
