So, my mother-in-law signed me up to receive a magazine called Prism. It is put out by the group called Evangelicals for Social Action (ESA). I have really enjoyed the magazine and it has lots of good info in each issue. (Thanks, Barb!!) In the latest issue, Ron Sider, the president of the group, wrote an article that lays out the beliefs of ESA on several issues (health care, immigration, sanctity of life, etc...). He then briefly describes both McCain's and Obama's stances on them and how they relate to what the ESA belief is. I really enjoyed the article. He did not endorse one candidate over the other he just started to lay out some of their beliefs on different issues and which candidate fell closer to the Biblical view for ESA. Some of the things it was Obama and others it was McCain. I decided to put the link to the article online so everyone can read it. He did not go in-depth on the candidates' policies and stances, which means that the article is a good springboard for your own more in-depth research.
Here is the link:

Julie, thanks for posting this article. When talking with one of my old roommates last night he pointed out a flaw in republican policies of pro-life which pointed at the concept described in this article as "completely pro-life." He said sure, republicans can be pro-life, until the baby is born, but once it's born and the baby is one of 5 kids belonging to a 24 year old mother, it's her problem and not theirs (or the government's) to solve. Anyway, just a thought. I'm still completely undecided but becoming less so...have a great weekend!
