The Horse Is Not Dead Yet, I Am Going To Keep Beating This One

JT reports well during the season of elections:

Douglas Groothuis: "Obama has repented of one good thing he did in the Senate: voting to save Terri Schaivo's life. Read this story for the details. Is this the kind of 'change' we want: the killing of the innocent at both extremes of life: the unborn and the disabled?"

I know that some evangelicals are contemplating voting for Obama.

But let's keep in mind that the National Journal rated Obama as the single most liberal senator in the U.S. for 2007, and that he is considered to be the most pro-abortion presidential candidate--ever.

Many argue that (1) presidents can't do that much about stemming the tide of abortion, and (2) there are other positions besides just abortion that evangelicals should be concerned about.

Both points have some truth to them, but I would encourage fellow evangelicals to consider a couple of helpful responses by Joe Carter:

• Why Pro-Life Presidents Matter
• Dignity as a Litmus Test: Why I'm a Single Issue Vote

Michael Patton also weighs in with some good questions for Emerging types on abortion.
