Because I Believe in the Value of Life....

When you decide to adopt - you do so, in part, because you believe in the value of life. Someone else may not have the means to care for their baby, but that baby's life is a precious one no matter. That is why I must post this video. A friend of mine posted it on her blog and as I viewed it I was horrified. I already knew that I would not vote for Obama, but this.... this is worth informing everyone. I actually have hesitated in the past to mention anything about my political views concerning Obama realizing that many who are adopting from Ethiopia see things differently than I do. But, if you are adopting from Ethiopia - then you value life too and you need to see/hear this before you vote. It is frightening. It is unbearable. And it is UNBELIEVABLE that this has not made it on every prime time news/media regarding the coming election. How can this be ignored?

The idea that a baby is not a baby because it is in the womb is atrocious enough. We send men/women to the moon. There, they are not walking on earth and they have to wear special suits to breathe and survive. But they are no less human, right? Then, how, just because a baby is in the womb is it considered less human? And then - to think - that people are actually inducing labor prematurely in order to let the baby just lay there and die all by itself when it had every chance for survival before such a selfish and murderous act. This is actually considered acceptable by Obama - enough for him to fight for it. Listen to the video. Almost ALL the democrats were opposed to this sort of atrocity - but not Obama. He would not support the bill to protect babies from this murder. In fact he voted AGAINST this bill THREE TIMES!!!

We have a choice in this election. I realize there are many things to consider. But the sanctity of life should be high on the list of anyone who is going to govern over - PEOPLE - living, breathing people. If you don't value life then you can't govern life with any kind of honor, respect, dignity. Here the choice is clear for anyone who believes in the sanctity of life - which I'm assuming all people who adopt hold to. We can vote for McCain - who has adopted and clearly, by choosing Palin as his running mate - is holding to the value of life. Or you can vote for Obama who clearly has no problem with bringing life into the world just to see it sit there and die slowly and all alone - on purpose. This makes Obama a very scary and ugly man despite the polished man you see on TV. Looks can be incredibly deceiving. It is time to listen to our ears, hearts, and minds and not our eyes. Fashion, youth, skin color, trends, and the hip-factor don't make a good president. It's all presentation and fluff. All very worthless.

One other question - sort of off the topic - I heard on the BBC that the rest of the world hopes we vote for Obama. So - what - that should make US want to vote for him. WAKE UP PEOPLE. Since America currently is the most powerful country, the other countries' leaderships are not exactly hoping America continues to do well. In any contest, would you vote for the person your opponents want you to vote for. Come on!

Thanks for posting this Cindy. I know some people say that they don't agree with every single issue of his but will vote for him anyway, but I have a hard time thinking that anything could be more important than a leader's stance on protecting the most defenseless in our society.

Obama also said that if his teenage daughter were to get pregnant he wouldn't want her "punished with a baby." I'm sure glad Lily's birthmom withstood her "punishment" long enough to get Lily to a safe place so she could live. (here's the link to his "punishment" quote: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNzmly28Bmg

I appreciate you getting this message out!
