If you're one of the many people heading out to church this morning and you do this regularly on Sundays and you are white, chances are you are not voting for Obama. Politico reports on the Gallup numbers that show no movement in the white weekly church going crowd despite Obama's outreach to them. The reason? “It’s abortion,” Land replied when the Gallup data was read to him. “I think pro-choice people in this culture have absolutely no idea of the depth and intensity of the moral outrage of the people who are pro-life,” Land said. “They think that conservatives use it only as a wedge issue.” BC agrees with Land but we think it's time for people who consider themselves Christians on both sides of this incredibly personal, sensitive, heart wrenching issue to stop shouting. The only God gap is the void that we create when our moral outrage - left and right - becomes more important than loving the neighbor on the other side of it.

what happened to the separation of church and state?
If I'm not mistaken, abortion will most likely (hopefully) be VERY low on the totem pole of 'to do' lists for the new Prez. I'm going to take a wild guess and assume the economy, the wars, energy, and health care will dominate his days in office - not abortion. It probably won't even come up in his first 600 days.
Besides, abortion is an issue with the legislative branch of government, not the executive.
