It's almost time to vote. After listening and watching the campaign ads, it's time to really study what the candidates stand for.
During the years since 1973, we've seen abortion take its toll on 47 million babies. Think about that number. Picture what one million is and then times it by 47. And we've let the death go on by electing candidates that vote to keep the killing going.
What is God going to say to us when we meet face to face? Didn't we learn the Fifth Commandment, "Thou shalt not kill"? Even an atheist knows that killing is wrong.
If a candidate is pro-abortion or pro-choice, and we vote for that candidate, we are telling the world that what the abortionist is doing is OK with us. And we are contributing to the death of those babies by voting and supporting those pro-abortion candidates who keep voting to keep abortion going. Study the candidates' records.
Some people look at the candidates and say, "But there are other issues." If by "other issues" you mean free health care, housing, food shelf, or a warm fuzzy blanket, those things are for the living. And dead babies don't benefit from those "other issues." First we have to let the babies live. And I believe that if we stop abortion, God will help us solve many of our other problems, including peace in the world.

It's time to do the right and decent thing and vote pro-life in either party. If we stop abortion, God may show compassion and have mercy on us and bless America in many ways.
