Obama, “Jesus For Higher Taxes” – But Is He For Abortion?

I applaud anyone who uses Jesus as their life’s blueprint and recently President Obama has been looking to Jesus for a little political guidance. With regards to increasing taxes on citizens with higher incomes, Obama says, “Jesus would back higher taxes”. Really, I wonder what Obama and the Democrat Party think Jesus would say about being judge, jury and executioner of an innocent human life. Where does Jesus factor in one’s belief in Pro-choice? Why do faith guides some to want to care for the least fortunate in our society but faith nor Jesus has no place in this government approved killing of humans?

Obama says his faith plays a role in his policy-making, and when it comes to giving he says, “It’s also about the biblical call to care for the least of these, for the poor, for those at the margins of our society; to answer the responsibility we’re given in Proverbs to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute” (NewsMax). Well said, but I wonder if he truly hears what he’s saying.
I believe many Pro-choice Christians know that abortion is an act Jesus wouldn’t approve of, but many have allowed their faith to become murky and have placed politics, partisanship and ideology above Jesus. I pray that Pro-choice Christians could one day listen and understand the mixed message they are sending and see that terms like, “care for the least” and “speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves”, applies to the innocent life working to evolve to the next stage of life.

I find myself always wondering, where is Jesus in the minds of these Pro-choice Christians when it matters. The least of the least are being denied life, while those doing the denying are living it up. The Jesus I know wouldn’t back this insanity.
