I think Jesus is just as concerned about all of the abused kids in the world as He is towards those who get their bodies violently dismembered in a very brutal and painful way. You can't cherry pick the issues, nor can you be the decider of what can and cannot be judged, the Word of God does that. Jesus said, "You will know them by their fruits". Isn't that a form of judgment? Not all judgment is wrong, especially when it is used for the purpose of reconciling someone back to Christ.

I, personally, cannot reconcile EVERYONE back to Christ. For my personal sanity, I deal with what I can on a day to day basis and choose to not get my intestines in a knot over all of the ones I cannot change.

What I do know is that abortion is not the ONLY issue when choosing a candidate. OTOH, I also think that we need to clean up our act here if we are to set an example for other countries. By focusing on better ways of solving the problems, the end result comes faster. If there were more advocacy for adoption instead of whether or not an abortion is legal, maybe women would be more inclined to follow Christ's way instead of focusing on themselves.
