We Elected a Pro-Life President!(George W. Bush)(Brief Article)(Statistical Data Included)

After eight long years, America finally has a pro-life man again residing in the White House. The election victory, although fiercely fought, was finally won. Never again will we be able to hear the "my one vote doesn't really matter" excuse.

This year there can be no doubt that pro-life voters swung the election for President.

The Los Angeles Times conducted an Election Day poll that interviewed over 8,000 people nationwide. They were asked, "Which issues, if any, were most important to you in deciding how you would vote for president today?" And 14% said abortion--about 14.7 million voters.

They broke overwhelming for Bush. He secured 58% of that vote as compared to only 41% for pro-abortion Al Gore. As columnist Marks Shields put it, "Simply put, that translates into a Bush advantage on the abortion issue of 2.5 million votes in an election that Gore won nationally by more than 540,000 votes."

Millions of pro-life people went to the polls on November 7, 2000, and voted for George W. Bush because he was pro-life - - and the election was won by a very few votes. Those millions of pro-life voters were motivated by the hard work and sacrifices of both time and money made by hundreds of thousands of pro-life volunteers across America.

They distributed untold millions of flyers with information about the candidates' positions on abortion.

The pro-life volunteers who lived in "swing states" - - those that either presidential candidate could have won - - bore an especially heavy burden. But they were equal to the challenge.
