WWMTD? (What would Mother Teresa do?)

"What is taking place in America is a war against the child. And if we accept that the mother can kill her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?"

February 1997 -  National Prayer Breakfast in Washington attended by the President and the First Lady.

This quote underscores the kind of conviction and moral consistency required of today's American believer. Pro life, across the board. No nuance, no being mezmorized by grandiose speeches about social justice and MLK. I challenge all "on the fence believers"to stand with moral conviction in the spirit of this great hero for justice.

A vote for Obama is a vote to promote abortion.

For some reason your generation can't seem to get passed the abortion debate. For those who oppose it, it has become a crusade against the evil doers, and for those who support it has become an unalienable right to defend.

I believe my generation understands that it is above our pay grade to answer these types of questions, so we will just focus on more important things like buying the next iPod.

So I've been away (and away from the inter-web) for the past week and have missed this raging obama-abortion debate.

Can I recommend we read what the world's greatest living theologian has said about the issue?

The nuance provided by Hauerwas is something lacking from this discussion.

Also, Paul, don't you think you are re-repeating the same strategy that left us with George Bush for the past 4 years?? He won because 80% of evangelicals voted for him! Almost all because of the abortion issue! Do we really want a repeat of that situation? According to your logic, it was the best choice to vote for Bush in the last election! Hasn't history clearly shown us that single issue voting is a bad idea?
