Spitzer says he believes that people should take responsibility for their conduct. What his actions show, however, is that people should take responsibility for their conduct if and when they get caught. Show me someone who takes responsibility for such actions before anyone finds out about them.

This made me cry. It’s a video highlighting a network of volunteers who offer to help families who have learned that their newborns will likely not survive birth. They’re photographers (including one of my favorite children’s photographers, Sugar Photography) who give their time and skills to give enduring tangibility to the memories these families are making with their beautiful children. The pictures provide evidence that these children existed and had lives that meant something. God, in His sovereign grace, makes no mistakes and is always good.

This also made me cry. The Born Alive Infants Protection Act. When President Bush signed it in August 2002, he said,

Today I sign the Born Alive Infants Protection Act. This important legislation ensures that every infant born alive — including an infant who survives an abortion procedure — is considered a person under federal law. This reform was passed with the overwhelming support of both political parties, and it is about to become the law of the land.

With this in effect, doctors are required to give medical care to a child who is “accidentally” born alive after a late-term abortion attempt. Why on earth does this even have to be discussed? In fact, although it was passed “with overwhelming support of both political parties,” Barack Obama did not support it. Logical, actually, if you set your philosophy on the flawed premise that we are all there is. So maybe I shouldn’t be surprised.

For another look at this issue, go here. This has Mr. Obama’s own words about why he did not support this legislation.

The value of life, no matter how short or how long, is a subject that is close to my heart. It’s one of the few things that can set me off (the others being depression and education). Can you tell?

If you live in Vermont, today is the day you should vote in the state’s primary election. Many towns will have other issues on the ballot as well. If you’re undecided or uninformed about the presidential candidates, just vote Huckabee.

That’s a joke, people. If you are uninformed, stay home till you ARE informed. If you’re undecided… well, figure it out.

I am a little concerned for my registration, since I have gotten two calls asking for me, then asking me who I will vote for in the primary, giving Clinton or Obama as the only choice. Am I registered as a democrat? How could that have happened? I might be libertarian. I don’t remember how I registered last election. Is that awful?

These questions and more will be answered today, as I attempt to cast my vote for someone who has been apparently mathematically eliminated from the race.

I have principles. (I used to have principals, but then I left high school.) I won’t vote for a candidate if he/she doesn’t hold to the same principles I do. Dem or Rep doesn’t determine my allegiance. I won’t vote for the lesser of two evils. I won’t cast my vote based on the idea that a vote for a less-popular candidate is a vote for the other guy.

I will vote for the person I want to be President.
