THE REAL "INCONVENIENT TRUTH"

The major issue in tomorrow’s Presidential election is not the economy, as many political pundits would have you believe. Nor is it illegal aliens, though that is certainly an issue begging for resolution. There is really only one issue that every Christian American voter must weigh; the issue of abortion.

The Bible, I and II Kings and I and II Chronicles, often mentions an Israelite king commonly referred to as "Jeroboam, son of Nebat, who caused all Israel to sin". What did this evil ruler do that forever labeled him as the king that "caused all Israel to sin"? He sacrificed children to the god Molech, which was an abomination to the Sovereign Lord, the Almighty God. In Ezekiel 20:30-36, the Sovereign Lord says that when God’s people “sacrifice their sons in the fire”, the people defile themselves, and that He will execute judgment on the nation, as He judged the fathers in the desert of the land of Egypt.”

The abortion of unborn, innocent children is murder, an abomination, and a stench in the nostril of the Lord. Since the Roe vs. Wade decision 1n 1973, more than 45,000,000 babies have been killed in this country. That’s an average of 1.28 million a year, 107,000 a month, 3,500 a day, 60 an hour, one every minute of every day! How can anyone think that our Heavenly Father will ignore such an atrocity?

We have lost more Americans to abortion, than the combined total of Americans that have died in the 12 wars from the Revolutionary War to the current Iraq/Afghanistan conflict. 64 times as many! One in every 4 deaths in America is due to abortion.

The abortion problem spans every ethnic group. 41% of Whites have aborted one or more babies, as have 34% of Blacks, 17% of Hispanics and 6% of Asians.

It gets worse. 37.4% of those who had an abortion are Protestants who claim Christ as their savior. 31.3% are Catholics who also claim Christ as their savior.

The proponents of Pro-Choice are quick to say that many abortions are performed because of health issue with the mother or baby, or because the mother was a victim of rape or incest. That is a lie. Only 1% of all abortions were performed because the mother was a victim of rape or incest. Only 6% of all abortions were performed because of health issue with the mother or baby. Fully 93% of all abortions were performed because it was “inconvenient” to have a baby. That’s the Real “Inconvenient Truth”. For 35 years this nation has been murdering it’s unwanted children. God cannot be pleased with us.

This year’s election boils down to a choice between two candidates; Barack Obama and Joe Biden, who have consistently endorsed and voted for Pro-Choice legislation, and John McCain and Sarah Palin who have consistently endorsed and voted for Pro-Life legislation. I believe that God’s Word makes it plain that a vote for the Obama/Biden ticket in this election is tantamount to sin, because it aids and abets the continuation of this horrible atrocity.

II Chronicles 7:14 promises if “My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” If you voted early, and you voted for the Obama/Biden ticket, repent and be forgiven. 1 John 1:9 says “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”

If you haven’t yet voted, please choose to vote for those who will strive to end the abominable practice of abortion, and trust God, not the politicians, “to heal our land”.
