Choosing the "correct" pro-life candidate
Posted: Sun Jan 08, 2006 1:32 am
Basically there are three people running for office.
Candidate A is pro-death (also known as pro-choice).
Candidate B is pro-life except in cases where it involves rape, incest or the mothers life is at stake.
Candidate C is pro-life in all situations.
Here's the dilemma. Candidate A and B are at about even in the polls with each at about 50% while candidate C garners less than 1/2 of 1%. Who should get the pro-life vote? Candidate C has virtually no chance of winning at all and would seem to "take away" votes from Candidate B. But isn't the true pro-life position that it is still a living baby despite the fact that it was conceived by rape or incest? Surely that wasn't the baby's fault so why punish the baby by killing him/her? Isn't a vote for candidate B sealing their doom? But if just enough people vote for Candidate C the chances are Candidate A will win and thus we have an even more deplorable situation.
Any thoughts?
