Surprise Baby: Burden or Joy?

Marjorie Campbell, marjorie@marjoriecampbell.com

Now that I know it's Obama v. McCain in the main - and I know I won't  know either guy or his wife - I am turning my sights to the observations and opinions I have reason to respect, even credit with that certain weight that very nearly substitutes for personal encounter.  Here's one:  Marjorie Dannenfelser hails from that growing body of reverts, reformed pro-choicers, women (like myself) who swam the waters of radical feminism and personally encountered it's life-limiting hazards.  I read her article here with great interest. 

Now is the time to look very closely at candidates. We are at a turning point in history when it comes to abortion and euthanasia. The voters who decide the next president and senate will also decide the makeup of the Supreme and other federal courts for generations. An especially telling difference exists between Senators Obama and McCain. How each perceives and talks about unplanned children is extremely illuminating.

I can't reduce Right to Life down to just Euthanasia and Abortion- and I personally don't think a Supreme Court Decision will overrule either anyway.

Here's why, in short: I'm still in communion with Rome on the Seamless Garment of Life- which in my mind raises the elimination of war and the death penalty, "It's not personal it's just business" economics that destroys human dignity, and the lack of universal health care as *EQUAL* issues with euthanasia and the death penalty.

The pervasiveness of the Culture of Death has infected almost all of American Politics- which is why I'll likely be voting for Constitution Candidate Chuck Baldwin, the only REAL pro-life candidate in this race.
