I've been thinking about abortion a lot. More than usual.

It seems it's been a hot topic ever since we Americans voted in the most pro-abortion president in our history. And it's been a topic again as the House and Senate debate health-care reform and whether or not it will or will not cover abortions costs.

And then Friday, January 22, 2010 marked the anniversary of Roe v. Wade and I was struck with the following thought:

I think American Christians are more pro-choice than we think.

For example...

*I CHOSE when I would start having children based on when we could afford them and when it fit in with my career.

*I CHOSE how far apart my children would be because I know better than God what I can and cannot handle and heaven forbid if I have two kids in diapers at the same time.

* I CHOSE that I wasn't going to have children because I thought a career in the professional world would be better for me and I didn't want to lose my size four figure.

* I CHOSE when I would stop God from allowing life, created in His imagine, to come from me and a simple snip-snip took care of that.

That's a lot of choices we make all on our own, without consulting the almighty Creator of Life.

So, maybe in all of our political activism we're not really pro-life.

We're just anti-abortion.
