Martin Luther King Jr. Niece Alveda King Urges Americans to Vote Pro-Life

“Vote Your Faith;” and “Vote for Pro-Life Candidates.”

Alveda King, the niece of slain civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr., released a handful of election videos today that each contain her message to American voters one day before the important midterm elections: Vote pro-life.
“Have you voted yet? If so, I pray you voted for prolife candidates. If not, as an American citizen, don’t miss out on exercising your Civil Right to vote. Many people marched and risked our lives for this freedom to cast our votes,” King says. So, if you haven’t done so yet, please go to the polls tomorrow and vote Prolife. Life is our first Civil Right. A vote for Life strikes a blow to injustice.”
“We must fight and vote for freedom for everyone; for the womb to the tomb,” Alveda continues.”Martin Luther King, Jr. once demanded: ‘Give us the ballot!’ Before his death, my beloved mentor, Pastor Allen McNair said: “Don’t Vote for Sin!’ Whatever the outcome tomorrow, do your part. Vote for Life.”
King, Director of Civil Rights for the Unborn for Priests for Life, has released a series of 30-second videos urging voters to choose a pro-life candidate in every race to be decided Nov. 6. The videos, produced by the American Potential Fund, urge Americans to “Vote for a Greater America;” “Vote Your Faith;” and “Vote for Pro-Life Candidates.”

King draws on Jeremiah 1:5 and Psalms 139:14 for inspiration for the videos, and asserts that “A vote for life makes America greater.”
“Please watch these videos and share them on your social media accounts,” Ms. King said. “We are obligated to do whatever we can to protect each soul.”
“These videos get to the heart of what’s most important in this and every election: Life,” said Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life. “There is no issue more important. In fact, this is the one issue that is at the heart and core of every other issue.”

The Mid-Term Elections: It’s Not About Us, It’s About the 3,000 Babies Who Will Die by Abortion Today

With just 26 days before the November 6 midterm elections. I’m going to say something some may find shocking.

It’s not about you.

No. And it’s definitely not about me. It’s about the nearly 3,000 unborn children who will die a brutal death by abortion today. And another 3,000 tomorrow. It’s about protecting their lives – and their futures.

We are in the business of saving lives. Thanks to you the carnage is far less than it once was. But one baby lost to abortion is too many.

When we elect pro-life women and men, life-saving legislation is passed.

For example, in South Carolina alone, there are nearly 175,000 people alive today because they passed pro-life laws.

And just one piece of federal legislation – the Hyde Amendment, which limits federal funding of abortions – is attributed to saving two million lives.

A lot is at stake in 26 days. Lives are at stake…

This year, there are 35 U.S. Senate seats up for election: 26 Democrat seats and 9 Republican seats.

If Democrats were to control the Senate, pro-abortion Chuck Schumer (D-NY) would be Senate Majority Leader. Consider the fate of eminently qualified judges such as Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh were the Senate in the hands of pro-abortion Democrats.

If pro-abortion Democrats take over leadership in the U.S. House and Senate, there will be consequences.

Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca.), for instance would become House Majority Leader.

And pro-abortion legislation would be promoted, such as the Woman’s Health Protection Act – we refer to it as the Abortion without Limits Until Birth Act – which is so extreme, if enacted, it would invalidate nearly all state and federal limits on abortion.

Shame on them.

We wouldn’t be able to pass protective pro-life legislation like the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.

This bill would require that a baby born alive during an abortion must be afforded the same degree of care that would apply to any other child born alive at the same gestational age.

We cannot allow pro-abortionists to win.
