I'm a pro-life Christian. Here's why I'm voting for Hillary Clinton.

I’m pro-life.

Or, put another way, as a Christian, I believe the sacred personhood of an individual begins before birth and continues throughout life, and I believe that sacred personhood is worth protecting, whether it’s tucked inside a womb, waiting on death row, fleeing Syria in search of a home, or playing beneath the shadow of an American drone.

As a frequent blogger and commentator and the author of several books, I’ve written in the past about feeling caught between the pro-life and pro-choice camps. Still, I’ve never used my platform to endorse a presidential candidate.

But as so many others have said, this year is different. Knowing many of my pro-life friends feel torn between voting for an unpopular but highly qualified pro-choice candidate in Hillary Clinton and an incompetent narcissist who poses a unique threat to our American democracy in Donald Trump, I’d like to make a proposal:

You should vote for Hillary Clinton.

And I’d like to suggest that voting for a pro-choice candidate in this election, or any election, need not overburden your conscience.

Here’s why.

Hello, all. This is my first post in this forum. I thought this forum would be the best place to share this article.

1. This is an excellent, thoughtful piece

One of my FB friends who is a known pro-life fundie-type Christian shared this article with one comment: "thoughts?" I thought she'd get a lot of comments back from her church friends calling HRC a baby-killer and was quite surprised to see they all more-or-less agreed and discussed the nuances. They all agreed that supporting born children is indeed pro-life. Maybe there's hope yet.
