"Though they know God's decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them." (Romans 1:32)
When I was a boy it was believed that Christians did not dance. But every election year I find Christians dancing. They are not literally dancing; but they are dancing all kinds of rhetorical jigs trying to justify the unjustifiable. Whether we choose to face the fact or not, the person who gives consent to wrongdoing is as guilty as the person who does the wrong.
The person who knows that murder is wrong is guilty if he gives someone else permission to carry out a murder. Although no blood has literally stained his hand, he may be even more guilty than the person who did the deed. While the one who plunged the knife may have been confused and thought that he was doing right, the one who stands back and says, "I would not do it myself, but I will allow him to do it" knows that murder is wrong and will be held fully guilty. This is the plain teaching of passages like Romans 1:32 and Luke 12:47-48.
Those who vote for pro-abortion candidates are as guilty of sin as any woman who seeks an abortion, any doctor who performs an abortion, or any politician who justifies abortion.
I would not want to stand before God guilty of shedding innocent blood. If I vote for those who justify it, I am as guilty as if I had done it myself. You can dance if you wish. I will stand firm on that plain and rather obvious fact.
