Free Abortions to Honor Tiller

Are you kidding me?  I saw this link on 4 Simpsons and followed the path to the original article.  I was and am adamantly against all Tiller stood for by aborting almost born babies.  But of course I wasn’t for his unlawful murder.  But celebrating him by preforming free abortions.  That is just sickening.  “WooHoo let’s kill babies and teach those pro-lifers a lesson!” I suppose it shouldn’t be much of a surprise.

Kathy Ireland and Her PR Tour

When I first saw Kathy Ireland taking on a PR tour I listened to what she had to say.  Of course her message of mother overwhelmed struck a chord with me.  At the same time it didn’t seem like a super unique message.  I mean, how many of us have the same story?  Sure it is encouraging to see this gorgeous woman was able to let herself go from supermodel body to 30 lbs overweight because of her hagged schedule.  We can relate right?  But it also seemed like a pretty normal non-unique message… though I appreciated her humble nature to be so transparent with the public.  Still despite the fact that her story wasn’t uncommon I was drawn to her in every interview I saw.  Her demeanor is simply beautiful.  It wasn’t till this interview however that I realized why I was so drawn to her.  She is not only beautiful and a great mom who also runs a successful company, but she is bright, intelligent, thinks for herself.  She is a sister and she cherishes life.  Please take the 7 minutes or so to hear more of her story and catch the beauty that is not only outside her, but truly inside as well.

I admit I admit

Mommyzabs has been lacking quality content lately.  I have been trying to post, but the quality of the posting is well…. not so much.  Am I avoiding controversy?  Yeah probably.  This election really shook me up.  I have never felt so divided with half of my friends.  I absolutely love all my friends and in an ideal world something silly like Politics shouldn’t divide.  That’s what we all say right?  But what about when those things are not merely politics to you but a large part of your ideology?  What if you just can’t comprehend the whole abortion issue and how your friends could not only overlook it but rejoice in a candidate that makes huge promises to the pro-abortion special interest groups?  

You see from my point of view, you can as a Christian have voted for Obama under two circumstances. 

1. Naivety- You bought into the whole shallow promises of hope and change and loved the overall positive marketing of the Obama campaign.  You didn’t like the war and bought the media bias against Bush.  Therefore you voted for Obama… but when asked you don’t really have any solid reasons why. 

or

2. Reluctantly- You weren’t naive about it.  You did your research and really many of your ideals line up with Obama.  You didn’t like our existing foriegn reputation and policies.  You (for some reason) believe in socialized medicine and overall wouldn’t mind seeing bigger government.  However you hate abortion (because you love Jesus).  This caused a great tug of war in your heart feeling that there was no candidate that truly represented you.  You in the end decided to overlook the abortion thing and vote Obama because he lined up in other ways. 

If you are person #2 I just can’t even comprehend that you are one of my friends in facebook that sing Obama praises in their facebook status, or have mock up pictures of themselves similiar to the one Shephard from Obey did of Obama.  You can’t possibly be one of those that absolutely rejoiced and thought the world was saved (or at least acted like it) when Obama won right?  If so, check yourself.  

That is what drives me crazy.  I can somewhat overlook when friends that fit in category 1 or 2 voted for Obama.  What I can’t stand is those that sing his praises when he is against the pro-life movement.

Of course there is category 3.

3. You aren’t a christ follower.  You believe abortion is simply a choice.  You totally agree with Obama on this issue. We don’t even have a foundation to debate this issue and I understand why you voted Obama.  I have no bones to pick with you.  Your are being consistent with your beliefs.

If you are 

4. A Christ Follower that is pro-choice.   Then I have nothing to say to you except get in the Word.

So how is that for content?  I’m sure I’m making some people mad and I’m kinda sorry for that.  I mean the people-pleasing side of me feels sorry for that… but the idealistic strong opinionated side of me feels no sympathy for offending you.
