Randy Alcorn--one of my favorite writers--offers clear words on the election

Not Cool: Obama's Pro-abortion Stance, and Christians enabling him is Randy Alcorn's lengthy blog entry, complete with links and citations, to give Christians concerned about issues of life something to think about. He includes a link to Donald Miller's endorsement of Obama, even though Miller is prolife. I have tried to discover Obama's plan for reducing abortions, and it comes down to more birth control availability, along with urging greater caution and responsibility to teens in regard to sex--something that just doesn't sound all that effective.

I agree with many who argue that we need leadership that is concerned with the poor and weak in our society. But with Obama's commitment to sign the Freedom of Choice Act as the "first thing" he will do as president, he has shown not only disregard for the weakest and most helpless among us, and a willingness to allow underage teens to get abortions without parental knowledge, but he has taken the wrong side in the great defining moral issue of our day.
