If abortion is morally wrong, how can Christian/Jew/Muslim vote Democratic?

Question

How can a Christian, Jew, Muslim support the Democratic party with abortion so important to their party?

Death penalty and war in Iraq don't quite hit the 800,000 abortions annually in America.

JonJon - it's just a question.

I'm asking people of faith how they can stand by and let this happen? And further, how they can support it? If you stand-by/support, how can you call yourself a person of faith?

Answer 1

You hit the nail on the head for me. That's one of the most important issues I vote on every election!

Answer 2

There are so many issues and personalities that I don't claim to be a supporter of any party. I support the candidate, or the best candidate that can carry more issues than the other.

I look at abortion, yes, but it is not all or nothing with me.

Your question started off: "If"... Politics is more than IF and MORALLY

A fool only votes party lines. Look at the mess that we have up in Washington now. That's perpetuating the problem.

*snip*
I'm asking people of faith how they can stand by and let this happen?
... Click, I just voted.

And further, how they can support it?
... I can't fathom but again, there are so many issues. I will have to answer to my God. I can.

If you stand-by/support, how can you call yourself a person of faith?
...Easy, I am. My faith is unwavering.

I'm an informed voter. I vote issues and take the best candidate I can.

Answer 3

Let me start by announcing that I am a Republican.

Let me further state that the US President has been a Republican from January 2001 to present. The record will also show that Republicans held the majority in both houses of Congress from January 1995 to January 2007. The fact of the matter is that the Republicans do not want to outlaw abortion any more than the Democrats do.

Whether this is a good or bad thing is up to you.

Answer 4

Interesting it is that there are people who make abortion a political or religious issue. Abortion is a personal issue that crosses party AND religious lines.

Only the truly stupid would believe that there are no Christians, Jews or Muslims who have had abortions or that the ones who do are all Democrats.

Answer 5

Good question....Any Christian who votes democrat is not a Christian at all, but a hypocrite! I for one am tired of 'em saying they are. If you are, Christian then read His word and Heed it!!!!!!

They have no problem murdering the innocent, but the guilty they don't want to kill. What kind of jacked up thinking is that? No democrat is a true Christian....their actions and whom they associate with is proof enough.

Answer 6

hi, i actually think of that that's impossible to give up abortion by regulation because it is going to easily be carried out underground and in greater risky situations yet (regardless of the certainty that i will regularly be stumbled on on the "bleeding heart liberal" wing of maximum arguments) i think of that's morally incorrect and here motives could be sturdy ones to apply: - women human beings in favour of abortion usually declare that to deny them the main appropriate supplies men and others a veto over the use of their very own physique. yet affirming this maximum appropriate tramples on the rights of others such by way of fact the daddy who could oppose the abortion (yet has definitely no say) and the rights of the Unborn new child. - in addition they argue the Unborn new child has no rights as that isn't any longer "unsleeping", yet once you assert which you may could desire to declare that different "non unsleeping" communities have not have been given any rights including heavily disabled little ones or elderly those with progressed ailments like dementia ; could desire to they be killed as nicely - what message is sent to residing disabled human beings while abortions are carried out by way of fact the youngster is judged to be at bigger possibility of disability? - women people who've abortions often go through melancholy/ extreme experience sorry approximately interior the aftermath - birth control is widely attainable and abortion should not be used as an further variety (because it unquestionably is interior the united kingdom the place there are hundreds each twelve months ). standard it could be greater advantageous if abortion became trated as "needed yet undesirable" and something like teenage being pregnant that we would have loved to cut back, rather than expressed as a "womens rights" concern. sturdy luck !

Answer 7

Not all Christians and Jews are anti-abortion. I have many Jewish friends who are all pro-choice. It comes down to whether you think life begins at the moment of conception. We think science shows us that that is defiantely not the case.

Besides that, a lot of people think that republicans are just holding onto an anti-abotion stance because it's a good wedge issue.

Answer 8

ok I can't vote I'm not of age but if I was then I would vote Republican but. 1. Who are you to judge how people vote, why is that any of your buisness? 2. Yes, SOME democrats support abortion but some don't. just like you'll find some Republicans that do. There are unique people in each party.

Answer 9

A "person" can choose to have an abortion or not-The democratic party just follows the constitution and let's the woman make that choice-religion is supposed to stay OUT OF GOVERNMENT!!

Answer 10

Hard as it is to believe, some people disagree with abortion and would not have one themselves, but still respect the right of other women to choose what is right for them.


Also? There are about 300000 other issues that separate Democrats and Republicans. Maybe one of those issues is important to the person in question, hm?

Answer 11

If that were the only issue on the Democratic agenda then I probably wouldn't vote Democratic, but there are thousands more. Ted Haggard was an advisor to President Bush and he was doing Crystal Methamphetamine and having sex with another male. You can't make your argument fly. Republicans do just as many immoral things as Democrats.
