Country needs to move forward under Obama

Sunday, November 16, 2008 12:05 AM EST

There has been much mud slinging during this election year, but I would like to say about our next president, Barack Obama, that he gave us a choice to make about, abortions, being gay, or many other things that people have criticized him about.
Without legal abortions we would go backward into the alleys again where worse things happen. I too am not for abortion, yet God Himself even gives us a choice to keep His Holy 10 Commandments, these are not 10 suggestions. He will not force us to bend or obey. He wants willing love from all of us.

Yes, there are gays in this world. They happen to be on both sides of my family tree, but I love them anyway, accepting them for who they are no matter their preference. Many are against gay marriage. We see that only a man and woman can procreate another human being. Yet, God gives us choice. Was it wrong for Obama to also give us a choice as a nation?

Due to the privileges of some races, you can never know what this election meant to some, and others now can't even speak about it openly in some places without reprisals, because their candidate lost the race. It is very sad that we can't come together, but we let the devil into our hearts when we work from fear or anger.

Whose side are you on, God's or the devils? Are we going to pull together as a nation or fight like little immature children?

" Thanks, brew, and right you are. Efforts would be better spent on actively preventing unwanted pregnancies in the first place.

Even among those who support the right to choice, few argue in favor of late term abortions, so we are not talking about "babies in the womb." We are talking about a blastocyst -- a ring of cells with a hollow center with the potential to grow into a child, but not a child. A ring of cells is not a baby; in fact, a ring of cells is not yet even a fetus. "

" I think I heard FG say this before. NO ONE IS PRO-ABORTION. THEY ARE PRO-CHOICE! NO ONE WANTS AN ABORTION TO HAPPEN. "

" That's right, rd--THE COUNTRY HAS SPOKEN, and REJECTED the Radical Religious Right's phony "Choose Life" propaganda, when they have caused the actual Infant Mortality Rate to DECLINE to like, 48th among civilized nations?
They closed down Women's Clinics in African nations under their deadly, hypocritical "Mexico City Policy" WHICH KILLED MORE BABIES AS WELL AS THEIR MOTHERS for lack of maternity services!

And for your information--a "baby" is not a "baby" at the period of when most abortions--like 95% of them are performed.
You say "baby", I say "fetus".
Let's call the whole thing off! "

" Please tell me what choice the baby has in the womb! All this "can't we all get along" baloney is about eight years to late. Borack Obama is the most pro abortionist candidate ever to be elected President and every moral human being has a obligation to tell the Democrat Party to stop the culture of death. "
