Right to life trumps all

One-issue voter, what do you think? If we are talking about voting based on one or two key issues, we are sometimes accused of being narrow-minded and not considering all of the issues.
I maintain that voting should be based on the principles of right and wrong and that there are always a couple of issues which are far more important than all of the rest. Since, in our society today we have decided that some of what used to be right is now wrong and vice versa, we need to look at right and wrong based on Christian principles as our Founding Fathers did.
I am mostly a one-issue voter when it comes to our most fundamental right and that is the right to life. The right to life trumps all other issues and I would maintain is more important than all of the other issues combined. None of the other issues make any difference to those 50 million plus babies who have been sacrificed on the altar of choice here in America; they don't have a vote so we must vote for them so their brothers and sisters and future generations will get a chance to experience life to the fullest.
