What About Voting For Pro-Choice Candidates
There is an age old question if we are pro-life should we support and vote for pro-choice liberal candidates? For many decades I was guilty of doing both by letting other people influence me.
"Roxanne, there are other issues more important than abortion to take under considerations. Why let a single issue influence your votes?" For decades I would allow myself to continue to vote for them.
Even though my born again cousin, Paula, repeatably told me. "Roxanne your mother won't be held accountable because she did no know any better. But Roxanne, you will be because I have repeatably told you so and yet you refuse to even listen to me! You might as well continue voting for your pro-choice Democratic candidates because they are your friends! They know you are pro-life and yet you still believe in them!"
But just like they did in Biblical times, "I ought to obey God rather than man." And in my case it means voting for Christians, who follow the Bible! When righteous leaders govern a nation, the people rejoice with glad tidings. But when evil men and women govern a nation, than the people mourn and lament!
According to the popular media, including the print media, people who are religious should not run for public office. And they meant including every local grass root level. Why not? Least they impose their narrow minded view points upon people who do not want them to. If they could they would disqualify faith based people, from running and being elected to public office. Even though they admit that they are morally good people. Because they have moral values they are very narrow minded!
In essence if they could they would ban pro-life people from being elected to public office. For decades I would take the Democratic Party's endorsements and vote for their candidates. But now I will hearken unto my own advice by, "voting accordingly and voting responsibly." And that means voting for pro-life candidates!
Should they decide to run for office in the blue State of Washington! Only parts of Washington State are blue, but Eastern Washington is mainly red. King County is the most populated county of my home state and they are mainly a blue county. And as King County goes so does the rest of the State of Washington numerically!
We are all to vote for Jesus Christ honoring candidates in 2022 and 2024! In order for God to heal and to cleanse our land! And we also need to pray for a Godly judicial system too!
