I was just “interviewed” by a member of the media concerning my thoughts on just how important the “pro-life” issue is with me as it pertains to this election.

My response was -

“Life is 100% of my vote.  If neither candidate would have been pro-life, I would not be voting.  The economy, the war, national security, taxes, these are all just frosting on the cake as it where.  Without life there would be be no economy, war, national security, taxes.”

Yup, that pretty much sums it up right there.  No other issue effects mankind’s future the way “life” does.

• Taxes? – Their going to go up, and we will continue paying them to whatever power may come.  We will survive.
• National Security? – We are not alone in this world, there will always be those that want what we posses.  If the issue is not national, than it will be city, state, planetary… who knows what the future will bring on that realm.  We will find a way to exist.
• Democracy/socialism/republic/monarchy? – Governments come and go.  Where ever people group together, there will be government.  Yes, we will even survive changes in government.
• Does our global existence rely on taxes?  On National security?  On whether we elect a democrat or republican?  No, while our global existence may be governed by these things, they will not rely on these things.
• Life? – Well, I guess I’m for Life, the same way I’m against genocide, mass murder, and the like.  It’s hard to explain, I’m just… Pro-Life.  People matter.  All people.  And I say so with my vote.

Now, do I really think my one lone vote will decide the fate of all mankind?  Will it change even the course of this one minuscule election?  Will it have prevented even one abortion?  I’m thinking not.

However, I do know that my one lone vote will allow me to sleep easily… if even for one night…
