Published August 29, 2008 05:07 pm - THE PEOPLE SPEAK: Candidate’s record does not support values In the Aug. 12 and 13 editions of Washington Update from Family Research Council, they reported for the first time in history, the Democratic planks will call for the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and the military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy. Democrats put in writing their intent to defeat any effort to weaken Roe v. Wade. Sen. Obama is adamant about repealing the DOMA, an action leaving every state in America at risk of being forced to recognize same-sex marriage. These actions reflect the liberal agenda, but congressional action has not resonated with voters.
Obama’s flowery, ambiguous rhetoric along with his voting record and pronouncements show him to favor this liberal perspective. For all of his stirring speeches, even Obama cannot avoid the controversy his pro-death voting records in the Illinois and federal legislatures has created when he voted against the Born-Alive Protection Act. The second observation is the current conclusion announced Aug. 13 by the American Psychological Association Task Force on Mental Health and Abortion, which minimized the psychological harms of abortion on women. The task force claimed to have found “No credible evidence that a single elective abortion of an unwanted pregnancy causes mental health problems for adult women.” When their research methods and findings have been evaluated for validity, they have been found wanting. I happen to get an income for taking care of women patients in a psychiatric hospital whose lives have been hurtfully impacted from having had one or more abortions. Their lives show brokenness, indescribable pain, sometimes physical, but mostly spiritual pain and burdens too heavy to carry any longer. May God help us voters to make godly choices in voting to support life for all persons across the life span and make this current version of human slavery and exploitation stop.
