Wednesday, September 29, 2010 This Week’s Feature Take Our Survey: Does Life Matter to You in This Election? New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s recent decision to cut off funding toPlanned Parenthood is the latest proof that electing pro-life candidates can make a dramatic difference. With the midterm elections coming up this fall, we’ve created an online survey that enables you to show candidates just how crucial their position on life issues will be for you in the voting booth. Click here to answer a few short questions on how important it is to you that elected officials stand for the unborn.
