No Issue More Important in Election 2012 Than Pro-Life
Father Frank Pavone, the head of the Catholic pro-life group Priests for Life, says there is no issue more important in the 2012 elections than the pro-life issues. Because abortion is a life or death decision that affects millions of people every year, Pavone ranks it at the top.

The issue that matters most to our nation s survival the end of abortion is the one issue few candidates are willing to talk about, he says. And because they are, we must keep the spotlight shining on this fundamental issue. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/20/no-issue-more-important-in-election-2012-than-pro-life/
