A matter of life and death

Well, if you were watching the debate last night, you were a witness to this fact: Barack Obama strongly supports the "right" to have an abortion, even going so far as to be against a ban on partial-birth abortions and against legislation requiring doctors to give care to babies who have somehow survived a botched abortion, all because he felt those laws would "undermine Roe v Wade." He also admitted that, in reference to the appointment of supreme court justices, "it is true that this is going to be, I think, one of the most consequential decisions of the next president. It is very likely that one of us will be making at least one and probably more than one appointments and Roe versus Wade probably hangs in the balance" and that "I am somebody who believes that Roe versus Wade was rightly decided."

So, is that clear enough for you? He so thoroughly believes in the fact that Roe v Wade was right, and that women should have unfettered rights to abort their babies that he would absolutely choose supreme court justices that would uphold it. In his own words, "Roe versus Wade probably hangs in the balance." This is a man who said in a speach that he would not want his daughter to be "punished with a baby" if she had pre-marital sex. We're not talking about abortions for the sake of health or whatever. We're talking about convenience abortions. We're talking about a man who thinks a baby, a BABY, is a punishment rather than a human being who deserves a chance to live. He would tip that "balance" he speaks of so far to the left that it would prevent us from overturning this horrible decision for years to come. How many more babies will be killed due to this man becoming president?

Listen, if you're already passionate about voting for Obama, fine. I understand that nothing I say will sway you, and you can make the decision your conscience sees fit to make.

But if you're someone who is not passionate about him, someone who is on the fence or simply would rather not vote at all, I beg you, for the sake of the pro-life movement in this country, for the sake of the thousands of unborn babies murdered every year, please please please do what you can to prevent this man from becoming president. Please, vote for McCain/Palin. It is abortion, it is genocide, and it really is a big deal.

Memorial Day Pictures

Ok, I am going through my photos (finally) and I have decided to post them, even though they are a bit late. So, I present to you all:
Our Summer, A Photo Review

part 1: Memorial Day Parade









Honestly, the parade itself was a bit too boring to take pictures of. But our family? Now there's something worth photographing! Especially those kiddos!
