Many people argue that abortion is just one of a variety of issues that they need to consider when deciding who to vote for.
One reason for this might be because these people believe that pro-life candidates are generally not able to have much of an impact on policy.
While it may be true that widespread change in the laws will not be seen overnight, this does not mean that the lives of the unborn should ever be sacrificed because a politician might not bring change fast enough.
In reality, we must always be appreciative of whatever progress the pro-life movement can make with protective legislation.
Every time we reach out to a politician or achieve a legislative victory for the unborn, progress is made.
Obviously, there are many issues that you consider when voting, and some have a more obvious impact on your life than others.
It’s important to realize, though, just how fundamental protecting the right to life is.
Without the right to life, no other human rights are even possible.
Life must first exist for any other issue to have an impact.
It is absolutely important to consider all aspects of a candidate, but challenge yourself to consider what is truly most important, first and foremost!
