POLITICAL PLATFORM COMPARISONS Prepared by Dr. Alveda King, Director of African American Outreach, Priests for Life Many would agree that voting is a civil right. Some would go a step further and make the case that life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is a lot easier to attain if we have the resources to follow our desires.

Just recently a new song from Michael Jackson entitled Song Groove was posted on YouTube. This song has become known as the “Abortion Papers” song.

I met Michael in Atlanta when he was a young teenager full of hope and promise. I had a front…

By then I was on “the long road home,” praying also that people of God would escalate in prayer according to 2 Chronicles 7:14; “if my people…”. The church can turn the tide came to me back then.
