Issues should drive your vote

Certain issues guide one to vote one way or another. People who do not vote sometimes feel their one vote won't make any difference. They also may be uninterested in the process or other reasons. I'm not sure because it is very important that people vote.

Issues should drive your vote. The economy? Jobs? Health care? Immigration? All important issues, but there is one issue that overrides every other issue and that is the issue of life. Plain and simple. The more we learn and see about the beginning of life, the more we are finding out life begins much, much earlier than at birth.

Check those ultrasounds. See them in 3-dimension. That's a live human being inside every mother's womb. Yet we continue to end their lives by the thousands every single day. It's sad that the life of a child inside his mother's womb has been made a political issue. It is a moral issue. It is an ethical issue. It is a human issue.

For ages it has been said that every society will be judged on how it has dealt with the most defenseless in that society. Can anyone be more defenseless than a baby inside his or her mother's womb? Make your voice heard and tell your elected officials that you're going to vote and the issue that's most important to you is life.
