Chris HITCHENS is NOT Great; But is God Conservative?

I work at touchy-feely social work central, so I am surrounded by liberal Democrats and thus very familiar with their "feelings". They equate God with all the "good" emotions. Because they feel compassion for a teenage girl who has made a stupid mistake and gotten pregnant, they simply cannot consider that God might have a higher purpose than excusing her stupid mistake and letting her off the consequences of that. How could that be loving?

Well, let's see. A baby isn't brutally murdered inside of the one place you'd think a baby would be safe. A girl doesn't have to live with murder guilt on top of the issues that so often stem from teenage sex. A family who desperately wants a child and has been waiting on an adoption list for years can now raise a child who wasn't guilty of anything other than having been conceived by a foolish teenage girl.

Abortion is not a compassionate choice when you consider all the angles. It may be the easy choice for the girl who didn't make such good choices in the first place, but it would definitely not be the Godly-choice. So, I don't know if God would necessarily vote Republican, but I think He would definitely vote conservative. Of course, He has the advantage of knowing the future. Third parties have won in my state when their ideas have been good and the other two parties have been lousy. I can't help thinking that the national elections could use a good mixing of third-party ideas.
