You know, they say you can judge a person (and a nation) by how they treat the helpless and those unable to defend themselves.

This poster doesn't even need any words. It speaks for itself.

(and oh, yeah, to any potential trolls -- don't even think about starting a flame war in the comments. I'm not in the mood for it!)

ETA: I always find it interesting how I get unfriended by people whenever I post something even remotely political. ;-P

A lot of people friend you for your graphics, which are beautiful, and then when you post this kind of entry you push them away.

Yes, I post graphics here, and I welcome all who want to enjoy them and use them with open arms, and I sincerely value my commenters and those who friend me. However this is still my personal journal, and I claim the right of expressing myself as I see fit, in a respectful yet firm manner. I'm not doing this to "make friends" but to stand up for what I believe is right, however, I am also not attempting to drive people away, but to reach them.

It's a fact that Obama supports abortion. Why can no conservative point that out without being attacked? If the truth is so upsetting to people, then why blame the messenger?

Oh, I understand. I'm just saying that maybe you shouldn't be surprised when people de-friend you.

Absolutely. And IMO, abortion is a terrible sin. But I also don't believe in making a political decision based on one issue. I'm not saying that you specifically do this, but some people do. If a candidate is for abortion, they vote against them. If they are pro-life, they vote for them. (Oh, and that's not some perception that I'm making up. I've actually heard people describe their thought process in that exact manner.) That's not smart decision making.
