According to the New York Times:
Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., the Democratic nominee for vice president, departed Sunday from party doctrine on abortion rights, declaring that as a Catholic, he believes life begins at conception. But the Delaware senator added that he would not impose his personal views on others, and had indeed voted against curtailing abortion rights and against criminalizing abortion.This is the worst and most inhumane of all positions on abortion. Those who argue that what occurs in a mother's womb is nothing but a blob of tissue until, at birth, it magically becomes a human child are wrong as a matter of science, reason and ethics. But at least they are consistent when they conclude that their "blob of tissue" can legally be removed and destroyed.
For someone to conclude that a human life is at stake, as Biden does, but then refuse to prevent the taking of that human life is beyond morally reprehensible. It is the height of political cowardice, hidden under the dismissive, politically correct nod to enlightened tolerance -- being unwilling to "impose his values" on others.
I couldn't agree more.

right on, K
Consistency in the Christian life is taking what you know to be true about God (through the revelation of His Word and the His Son) and apply it to EVERY aspect of life. It might make for some "uncomfortable" conclusions (i.e. that every life is created in the image of God), in this society, but it will create consistency in the totality of one's life. Thanks for the reminder.
