Live Renewed: My Journey Toward Living "Frugally Green"

I know it's been a while, life has been a little crazy and thrown us a few curve balls lately, but it's all good. This is the first and maybe the only "political" post you will see on this blog, but it was something I just couldn't ignore. I am quite passionate about politics, but I don't pretend to be informed or intelligent enough to write about it for the world to read, so I stick to talking about it with my husband, family, and friends.

I have heard a commercial on our local talk radio station and I finally checked out the website - www.bornalivetruth.com. I have to say that I am appalled. As someone who gave birth to my daughter and remember so distinctly her first cries, so small and helpless, I really don't understand how someone can say no to that. I don't understand how someone can have blood pulsing through their heart and their body, and yet have such a cold heart. I just don't understand. I don't trust that someone who has such little regard for a helpless little baby's life could possibly have the lives of all Americans at their best interest.

I am not a single issue voter. In fact, I don't vote based on abortion at all because I really don't believe that Row v. Wade will actually be overturned. I don't agree with or believe in abortion, but I don't vote based on that. I vote based on many other issues that I won't get into at this time, and those other issues usually lead me to vote for the candidate who is also pro-life. To me though, this is infanticide and it crosses the line, and really shows what little respect for human life this person actually has - he is more concerned about upholding a cause - pro-abortion - than he is concerned about a helpless baby that deserves to live. I believe this is a major indicator of his character - or lack there of - and shows the way that he would make decisions, not based on what is actually best for people's lives, but based on what lines up with his ideology - and that is an ideology that I just don't agree with for many reasons.

I'm sorry, again, I don't want this to be a controversial or political blog, but I just felt I had to write this, it was keeping me awake at night, and when you can't sleep over something - you know it is important.

I don't want to criticize others for their desire to vote for or against someone. We are so privileged to live in a country where we can choose who we want to vote for, for the reasons we want to vote for them, so all I will say is on Tuesday - Get out and VOTE!!!!!!!
