“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; you works are wonderful, I know that full well” (Psalm 139:13-14).
“There are six things the Lord hates, . . . hands that shed innocent blood, . . .” (Proverbs 6:16-17).
Two weeks from today is Election Day. There are many important issues to consider before we mark our ballots. Just a few: healthcare, taxes & regulations, religious freedom, law enforcement & public safety, China, life, and more. Out of all these issues the most important is life. If we don’t get this one right how will our Nation survive? As my preacher said recently, abortion is not a political matter it is a moral issue.
Since Roe vs. Wade in 1973 there have been 61,628,584 abortions in the United States, according to LifeNews.com. Abortion is killing a human being, a human created in God’s image. We are missing doctors, nurses, scientists, inventors, teachers, moms, dads, governors, senators, preachers, and on and on. People, who could be our friends and neighbors, died before they ever took a breath!
Thankfully, abortion numbers are declining due to the work of crisis pregnancy centers, the use of ultrasounds and pro-life state legislation. Yes, we must support these efforts until we abolish abortion as a means of family planning. The unborn baby is a living human being, not a woman’s health choice, as some would have us believe. The right to life must be granted to everyone from the womb to natural death. Every person’s life matters!
So, before you vote find out where the candidates stand on life. Two good sources for this are myfaithvotes.org and ivoterguide.com. You can see where candidates (National and state candidates.) are on the liberal-conservative scale. You can also compare the party platforms on many important issues.
This election will determine if our American Republic survives or if America slides deeper into socialism. We must pray, educate ourselves on the issues at hand, pray more, seek truth and encourage others to do so, pray more, and vote for moral values.
If you are not registered to vote, do it soon and then go vote!
