Steve Beshear

In order for a person to be elected governor in Kentucky, the state where I live, it seems that you must meet certain criteria. With few exceptions, our governors are rich, white males who condone the slaughter of unborn babies.

In less than two weeks, if pollsters are correct, Kentuckians will go to the ballot box and, once again, select for their governor a rich, white male who condones the slaughter of unborn babies. Actually, we are poised to re-elect this man.

Kentucky governor Steve Beshear is on record as having said, “When a woman considers the difficult decision of whether or not to have an abortion, this decision should be between her, her physician and her God.”

Gov. Beshear is wrong. God has already made that decision, and he didn’t consult any physician or any other human being. Our Creator set the standard for respecting human life, and we must abide by His decision. Scripture plainly states that we are created in the womb (Psalm 139:13) and that we must not murder another human being (Exodus 20:13).

You can’t hardly go anywhere in Kentucky without seeing a church steeple. Why, with so many professing Christians in our state, can we not elect politicians who fear God and respect human life?

Are the preachers more afraid of their church members than they are of God? Do they not preach the truth? Or do many Christians keep their faith separate from their politics?

I don’t know how we got into this mess, but I know what I’m going to do. I’m going to vote pro-life every chance I get.

What about you?
