Billy Graham Won't Advise Obama, Mentions His Strong Pro-Abortion Position
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Respected Christian preacher Billy Graham has been an advisor and spiritual helper to presidents dating back to President Eisenhower. But that relationship with presidents will end in part because incoming president Barack Obama takes such a profoundly pro-abortion position. To be sure, Graham's health is the main reason for the decision, his son Franklin Graham told the Associated Press. "My father feels like his time and day for that is over," Franklin Graham said. "But he would certainly like to meet (Obama) and pray with him." But Franklin expressed concerns about Obama's abortion position -- something he mentioned to the senator during the campaign as a problem. He told AP the Bible is clear in its teaching that human life deserves respect and protection even before birth. "President-elect Obama heard our position," Franklin Graham told the news service. "And I told him that this was very difficult for us and hard for us. It's a moral issue that we just can't back down on." "But he's our president-elect, and those positions that he holds that are contrary to Biblical teaching, I hope that God will change his heart," Graham added.

Franklin Graham: Non-Voting Christians Aided Obama Re-Election
Franklin Graham, the son of evangelical preacher Billy Graham, says Christians who didn't bother to show up at the polls are party to blame for President Barack Obama's re-election earlier this month.
While the majority of voters who are Christians and faithful Catholics voted for Mitt Romney over the pro-abortion president, millions of Christian voters stayed home and post-election analysis shows a low turnout paved the way for Obama to win another four-year term. Ref. Source 8
