«Make a difference by making pro-life the No. 1 priority at the polls,» Supreme Knight Carl Anderson urged in a statement.
«Respect for and protection of all human life, including the most vulnerable among us, is not just one value among others,» Anderson said. «It is the standard by which we measure all other values.»
Anderson continued: «There are many facets to the pro-life movement, many ways to help build the culture of life. Certainly one of the most important is working to elect leaders who will uphold the inherent dignity of all human life, especially the most vulnerable among us — from the innocent unborn child to the elderly and ill facing death.»
