I often hear people selecting a person for office based on their view on abortion. So, how important is their viewpoint on other viewpoints on other issues, or is that the only issue that is important?
What if your choice for U.S. President was between Candidate A: who supported overturning Roe V Wade and was totally corrupt in other issues.
Or Candidate B who would make positive chages for families, but did not want to overturn Roe V Wade.
WHY would you choose your candidate?

For the most part, abortion is at the top of my list. I know it might be silly to some but we have to answer to God and I feel that to protect the life of an innocent baby (and it is a baby, not just a blob of tisuue) is at the top of the list. Of course I feel that some candidates play the "Christian card" like George Bush. I'm not a huge fan of Bush and this war but I didn't want Kerry in there, either. Some candidates just through in Pro-life to get the Christian vote and you have to take a look at their record. Bottom line, I just pray about it and pray that God will have the candidate He wants in there. Of course, if you don't believe the Bible to be the Word of God then you won't understand where I'm coming from and, most likely, disagree.

*If* we had a candidate that had a realistic chance of actually overturning Roe vs. Wade, I would vote for him. However, if a person didn't stand a realistic chance of actually doing it, just said they wish they could, I'm not going to be drug arround by the nose on an issue they can't actually do anything about. As a result, it plays no role in my voting for current candidates, since I don't see them as having a realistic chance of doing it right now, but in the future things may change and then we'll see.
As for your Candidate B, what "positive changes for families" could I really trust him on if he supported the killing of innocent babies? I don't get it, really, I don't. Is he going to extend the date that we can kill them up to 5 years old so that we can make sure to weed out the troublemakers before they start school? Is he going to legalize beating your children so you can "punish them properly" when they misbehave? Really, the fact that he supports killing the innocent is proof that his social values are already screwed up, so I'm going to need more than "positive changes for families."

Good points above.
I don't think the scenario you suggest is possible. If a man has the sensitivity and instinct to know that abortion is almost as damaging to a woman's spirit as the physical damage done to the child...well, he couldn't be "totally corrupt" in other issues.

Candidate A because 40 million dead babies is 40 million too many.
If Candidate B wants to do so much for families he would be pro-life as well.

Why? you mean How.
I select the Candidate that is more closely Biblically correct, they may not be perfect, it is choosing the "lesser of 2 or perhaps 3 evils" .

As a non Catholic Christian, i might first desire to particular my desire that we be united interior the "needed" doctrines of Christianity and end bickering with regard to the "non necessities". As Christians, we are all right here to extra God's Kingdom and set our denominational transformations aside. it is not approximately us!!! Secondly, on account that I easily have been right here on R & S, I easily have see incredibly some "Catholic bashing" from all religions. between the questions this is asked right here on R & S many times is "what's the version between Catholics and Christians"? needless to say, many persons at the instant are not conscious that Catholics are Christians. So i might desire to handle Catholics with this question. what's the reason there is a lot Catholic bashing and why are human beings no longer conscious that Catholics are Christians??? Catholics constantly provide the respond, that others have been misinformed and are flawed with regard to the Catholic Church. is that this the common actual reason or a standard denial? nutrition for concept.

Anyone willing to sacrifice an unborn child can't convince me he can make positive changes in a family. Someone must speak for the silent unborn. God hears their screams and will avenge their deaths.

Define corrupt views. What you view as corrupt, I might not. And yes, I'd vote for the one against abortion.
