My only problem is with the line about the “200,000 pastors and 80 million Christians nationwide who consider him not only to be our president but also a man of God.”
I wish that were the reality in the election booth. It is not.
The sad reality is that the duration of the abortion holocaust is prolonged by Christians who vote for pro-abortion candidates.
In 2000, roughly 100 million people voted for president. We all remember that slightly more than half voted for a “man” who publicly endorsed all forms of abortion and swore to defend the butchering of babies—no matter what. Where were the “200,000 pastors and 80 million Christians” on that election day!? Did a majority of these people vote pro-life. No, they vote with a much different set of priorities.
Several people I spoke with at different churches during that election told me how evil abortion is and how pro-life they are. When I asked who they were voting for—several answered Algore. When I pointed out the contradiction, they said that there are “so many other issues that they cannot ignore.” We visited a “pastor” to show him a sign that read: “ONE NATION UNDER GOD – PLEASE VOTE PRO-LIFE” We offered to put this sign in front of his church. He chuckled and said “no way, I’m voting for Gore, because there is more at stake than THAT”
The numbers below speak for themselves. Half of the people who voted are aged 18-44, and eighty percent claim to be Christian. All in the 18-44 group were in school since Roe v. Wade, and could have received a Pro-Life education.

As a Catholic I am disgusted to have to say that statistically, had more Catholics voted in the 2000 presidential election, the pro-abortion candidate - Algore would have won.
Goals of the Pro-Life movement:
1. To pass a Constitutional amendment that absolutely protects all innocent life—from conception to natural death.
2. A Supreme Court that acknowledges the personhood of the unborn, thus guaranteeing their protection under the Fourteenth Amendment.
3. Transforming the culture: From one of death to Life.
In order to meet these ends, we need to add several million voters to the Pro-Life position. Three decades of legalized abortion proves that this many adults cannot be changed in the way they vote. We believe that the only way of achieving this monumental task is with a new generation of Christians fully educated on the sanctity of life before birth.
