Single issue voting...

Single issue voting when it comes to being pro-life is good.

*gasp*

Wait! Don't shoot!  Keep reading.

I must first clarify before I go on.  I am not saying that other issues aren't important.  They are.  I AM saying that no other issue is as important as this one.  It's not even close.

Some of you may have this mentality:  "I am against abortion, but I look at all the issues.  Besides, most political offices have nothing to do with abortion."

Here is a reply from prolifeamerica.com:  "For people who believe that abortion is murder, a candidate's position on other issues is irrelevant.  The slaughter of children cannot be equated to any other social, cultural or political issue.  It is also irrelevant that most political offices have no impact on abortion.  If a candidate is a member of the Ku Klux Klan, voters will not ignore that just because the office he is seeking has no impact on racial issues.  That dynamic also applies in this case.  People who support legalized abortion are not morally qualified to serve in any public office." 

Or, you may say, "I am pro-choice, but I personally wouldn't have an abortion"

Randy Alcorn, aka, my hero, has something to say to you.

"The only good reason to oppose abortion is a reason that compels us to oppose others doing it-- it's child killing.  Being personally against abortion but favoring another's right to abortion is self-contradictory.  It's exactly like saying, "I'm personally against child abuse, but I defend my neighbor's right to abuse his child if that's his choice."

Oh, snap.

And finally, from Randy Alcorn's book "Why Pro-life" he says,

"The pro-choice position always overlooks the victim's right to choose.  Blacks didn't choose slavery.  Jews didn't choose the ovens.  Women don't choose rape.  And babies don't choose abortion."

But you can choose life....

every. time.
