It does matter

I was once told that it seems like the only issue important to Christians politically is abortion. I didn't really know what to say because I could see where someone who didn't find it that important could see it as a hobby-horse issue for the "unthinking". But as I thought about it more, I came to the conclusion that if it was the only issue, it was enough - it still mattered. How can life be just a political issue? It's not. And that's why we fight and pray and seek wisdom on helping women in desperate circumstances - how to love them and direct them towards life and not death. And to work to put those lawmakers who would fight for life into office and remove those who would not. The fight against abortion does matter.

So I was very excited and encouraged and awed when a friend sent me this link today from our home town.
