The Abortion Question and the Future (Dr. Mohler)

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Dr. Mohler of the SBC has put up an excellent post on the importance of being a single-issue voter this election.

A part I especially like:

Some argue that the sanctity of life issue is simply one among many important issues. Without doubt, we are faced with many urgent and important issues. Nevertheless, every voter must come to terms with what issues matter most in the electoral decision. At some point, every voter is a potential "single issue" voter. Some issues simply eclipse others.

And this closing is so good, I can't cut any more out:

[W]e face a choice. This is a limited choice. And we cannot evade responsibility for the question of abortion. O ur vote will determine whether millions of unborn babies live or die. The Freedom of Choice Act, if passed, would lead directly to a radical increase in the numbers of abortions. The abortion industry has told us that themselves.

The question comes down to this: How many lives are we willing to forfeit -- to write off as expendable -- in order to "move on" to other issues of concern? There is no way to avoid that question and remain morally serious. The voting booth is no place to hide.
