Dobson called out on his McCain conversion
Posted by gwfrink3
There are fractures on the right.
Focus on the Family's Dr. James Dobson had a Sarah Palin conversion to Republican Presidential Nominee John McCain, and American Right to Life Action has called him out for breaking his pledge before god. Christian News Wire reported:
On April 28, 1990 at the Washington D.C. Rally for Life Dr. Dobson stated, "I want to give a pledge to you on a political level... I have determined that for the rest of my life, however long God lets me live on this earth, I will never cast one vote for any man or woman who would kill one innocent baby." James Dobson is violating this pledge by voting for John McCain for president, a Republican who has recently voted to authorize funding to kill some children by surgical abortion.
American RTL Action director of research, Darrell Birkey, said of Dobson's turnabout:
Dr. Dobson is openly violating the pledge he took before God by voting for John McCain. Both the Sarah Palin distraction, and the candidate's rhetoric to Rick Warren claiming he believes that human rights begin at conception, are belied by McCain's long tolerance of chemical abortifacients and funding the dissection of the tiniest embryonic boys and girls.
On Thursday, the group staged a sit-in at Focus on the Family headquaters in Colorado Spring, Colo. Eight people were escourted out by police.
Dobson's ethical flexibility, and that of others like him, is not shared by all.
