The right to life is a very specific idea that our founding fathers put in the founding documents of our nation. They were reflecting a cultural value they’d inherited through Western Civilization - the idea that human life is significant, that human beings are not merely animals. Therefore, the laws should protect vulnerable human beings from the predations of people who would take advantage of them, including the government.
We are in a battle of ideas. If you do not engage in the issues that are threatening the culture of life, then you risk being taken in this battle. If you casually them aside, or reduce them to mere passing emotions, or personal religious inclinations, you are hurting rather than helping. We want to equip you to help fight the battle. It is a battle over objective facts, and today we want to encourage you to fight by becoming engaged in the election season.
Rabbi Dennis Prager joins us, and underscores the need to accept the civic responsibility of participating in elections. This is true of all people, but in particular for religiously inclined people.
Pastor Rob McCoy also joins us to discuss doing due diligence in getting to know what issues candidates stand for and in understanding the significance of local elections.
