Life, Death, Family and the Christian Voice

Looking back on the Presidential Election, I still don't know who I would have voted for had I voted on November 4th. It seems odd to say, but my vote did not seem to be as important for the issues I care about as the upcoming run-off election on December 2nd. 

This isn't a partisan decision at all, this is a Pro-Life, Pro-Faith  and Pro-Family issues. In regards to 'Same-Sex Marriage Rights', I believe this term is a misnomer. I don't think a 'Marriage' should ever be referred to as a 'Right'. A Marriage is an 'ability'. We know that 'abilities cannot be legislated, and therefore the ability of a man and a woman to be wed is therefore not a right. To imply that marriage is a right would be to imply that this is something to be granted by man.

A marriage is a blessing by God. He defines that a marriage is to be between a man and a woman and the government has no right to legislate on anything that supersedes its authority or jurisdiction. The extant that the government has can legislate is simply to recognize a Union formed by a higher authority.

In regards to the impact Christians have had on our government just in the last 6 years, consider the following:

There are roughly 60 million evangelical Christians in America.
In 2002, Christian voters led the way in voting in 36 new House members that were pro-life, pro-faith, and pro-family. Likewise, their were 8 new Senators who were also pro-life.

In 2004, Christian voting turnout increased by 93%! This increase gave pro-life candidates huge majorities in the House and Senate. In fact, 25 of the 40 new House members were pro-life and 7 of the 9 new Senators were pro-life, pro-faith, and pro-family.

Historian David Barton summarizes: "The result was the congressional enactment of the first four major stand-alone pro-life laws since Roe v. Wade:
1. Infants Born Alive Protection Act
2. Unborn Victims of Violence Act
3. Partial-Birth Abortion Ban
4. Fetal Farming Ban

Furthermore, the addition of so many new pro-life Senators resulted in the confirmation of two new pro-life Supreme Court Justices and dozens of pro-life court of appeals and federal district court judges."

- In 2006, 92.5% of homosexual men and 91% of lesbian women voted.
- Plus, a 30% drop in Christians voting.

RESULT - The Baltimore Sun reported that America voted in "The most pro-choice Congress in the history of the Republic."

Only 17 of the 54 new House members were pro-life (30%)
Only 1 of the 10 new Senators was Pro-Life (10%).

In another post, I stated that Homosexuals were against Human Rights for their support of Proposition 8. This would have legalized marriage between members of the same sex and further promoted a medical condition that, in essence, is against the natural laws of human progression.

While proponents of Proposition 8 wonder why people are against something that doesn't seem to affect anyone else; I wonder why it seems that Homosexuals find it necessary to exercise their voice in relation to procreation? This obviously is an issue that shouldn't concern them.

These are the reasons why I'm voting for (R) Sen. Saxby Chambliss on December, 2nd.
