Nothing, absolutely nothing about this election can make my heart pound harder in my chest than this. Nothing...
----UPDATED----
And, can I just say (of course I can, it's my blog) that I used to be of the mindset that abortions should be illegal unless it is of great risk to the mother or unless the mother was raped. My thinking has changed.
As for great risk to the mother, click here to read an amazing story. As far as rape is concerned...why do we think that God is not in control when horrible things happen? We MUST place our faith in Him in the good and the bad. Who are we to decide if a baby, conceived out of rape, is allowed to live a life that God created? If such is the case, then Psalm 139:13-16 is a lie:
Do those words suggest that because of a horrible crime, a baby's life was not ordained?

For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
