Today is Election Day. As our bishops have said, “Every voice matters in the public forum; every vote counts.”
We need to use our vote to advance the culture of life. Sometimes candidates for local office say that their positions on big moral issues like abortion don’t matter. But they do, because they measure a person’s character. Besides, those in local office tend to move up to higher office.
And if a politician can’t respect the life of a little baby, how’s he supposed to respect yours?
Don’t miss out on voting today. Find out who is running, and where they stand on life issues. And call your friends and those in your Church groups, and remind them to vote today as well.
