mrs prd

this is me and lindy.


she has been my besty since i was two years old. i am so happy she has entered the blog world..give her some of your attention!

ps

check out me and jeremy's conversation in the comments under 'a bit of controversy pt 1'. jump on in if you like... i'd love your thoughts.

while we are on the subject of politics...

this is pretty awesome.

cont'd from below

a quote from her blog really hit's this issue for me...

that there seems to be "a new breed of evangelical -- moving the abortion battle down their list of priorities in lieu of sexier wars to wage, like AIDs in Africa."

is this what happening? are we just participating in the issues that are "culturally relevant," even glamorous? do we just want to care about the issues that faces in the magazine in the check-out line tell us to care about?

we are forgetting the babies that are suffering for our own ignorance and our own inability to bear the consequences of our actions. and we are supporting this man who we think will fight for us, but refuses to fight for the weakest.

a bit of controversy

i usually stick to topics like babies and childbirth and husbands and things of that nature while blogging, but something has been really bothering me lately so i just gotta throw it out there.

i have found myself wandering onto a couple big evangelical pastory type blogs (people that are into the emergent church and relevant magazine...etc) and i have found there is one other thing they are into, big time... politics. and obama, man, do they like obama.

it got me thinking... since when did abortion become and irrelevant issue for Christians? i used to believe this was number one on the list of moral injustices occurring in our country... we kill our babies. i mean, think about that, we live in a country where we kill our own babies.

it seems like this subject has been thrown to the wayside. we are big into social justice and we are against the war and we like the planet and so we think obama is the man because he sticks up for this stuff... but somehow down the line we forgot about abortion? is it just that is gets lost in the shuffle of other things we care about or do we convince ourselves its not a relevant issue anymore? and so we tell ourselves it's no big deal to back a man that is defending this horrible thing? someone explain this to me...

tonight i got the nail in my obama coffin nailed. a woman named jill stanek who for years has been testifying for the 'born alive infants protection act'. you have probably heard about this bill in one way or another when or if you have discussed obama's pro-choice stance... this is the bill he voted against.

this is a video from 2000, when they were first confronting this issue...
