Back To The Issues, Part One: Sanctity of Life

In the last few days we have talked much about the many aspects of personal responsibility. Lauren and Rachel, our go-to Conservative young adults, have each touched on the importance of voting. 

In order to make an informed decision, however, it's necessary to know where both candidates stand on the core issues. In the coming days I will be giving you the breakdown, so that you can make the decision for yourself based on the issues. 

Since 'Sanctity of Life'  is such an important issue in this and all elections, especially to conservatives, we will cover that first. (information passed to you directly from information obtained from Concerned Women For America)
