ABORTION OR DEPORTATION

Protecting the unborn; family values; the definition of marriage, are all very important topics for many of my conservative friends.

So I ask the following questions:

What is more important, protecting the definition of marriage, or protecting an actual marriage?

What is more important, protecting the definition of family values, or protecting families?

It is absolutely amazing to me that many people who support traditional conservative values, would not think twice about separating a husband from his wife, a wife from her husband; or a child from his or her parents because one or more are here illegally. Why is deportation the only punishment they see? Why do they disregard the very values they claim to be important?

Isn’t marriage important?

Isn’t it important that children grow up with their parents?

Oh that’s right, I forgot. They broke the law. Therefore, we must deport. There is no other answer except deportation. All our values we believe in go out the window. We must deport!!! We must rip the children from their parents and we must forcibly separate spouses. It is the only way. But let’s not forget to protect the definition of marriage – that’s most important.

They will march to protect the unborn. They say life begins at conception, and I agree. They will do everything in their power to protect the unborn, even if it is an unwanted pregnancy.

But when does a family begin? When is it ok to abort a family? I submit to you that a family begins at reception - "when a husband and wife receive each other as one".

Do we really believe in the sanctity of marriage? Then why are we so quick to abort that family, even if that family is considered an unwanted pregnancy in our country?

America has a “birth control” problem at the borders. Once there is “reception” (conception) I believe it is wrong to “abort” or deport that family. I believe the sanctity of marriage is extremely important; family is extremely important - not only in words, but in deeds. Therefore, it must be protected, even if it involves an illegal immigrant.

How can we ever begin to protect the unborn (that which we cannot see), if we cannot protect the family, (which we can see)? If we want fewer illegal immigrants in this country, we must use better controls to protect our borders.
