LETTER: Vote to protect humanity

To the Telegram:

Are you tired of the political phone calls, ads and mail? Have you decided how to vote? On what will you base your decision? Have you researched candidate’s positions, checked party platforms? What issue are non-negotiable and how will you determine that?

Health care, the economy and jobs, education, debt and taxes, national security, all impact American’s lives. The baseline is that each American has life as their basic right, which is priceless and worth compassionate health care, the investment of education, the opportunity to work, freedom from oppressive debt and taxes, and protection in order to live without fear of attack from without or within.

Each year, 1.2 million Americans, our brothers and sisters, are denied this basic right because they are killed at some point of their development before birth. Human beings full of potential loved by thousands who want to help provide for or adopt them.

Know that your vote can be part of a movement to restore human rights to the unborn, by choosing candidates on the state and national level who will vote to protect the most vulnerable. This can change our society. Unselfish care for those unable to defend themselves is a starting point for good decisions on every other issue, which is debated.
