US ELECTIONS - VICTORY FOR THE FAMILY
CFT Media Statement - 3 November 2004The USA election results prove that pro-family issues are of enormous importance to voters. Candidates could not hide their views on the issues that mattered to the electorate.
Consider the following pro-family results on 3 November 2004:
There was a resounding coast to coast rejection of gay marriage. 11 states have successfully voted to amending their constitutions to ban Massachusetts-style gay marriage, by overwhelming margins - from a high of 86 percent in Mississippi to 59 percent in Michigan. Even in Oregon, the measure passed by 56 percent - a clear majority.
In Oklahoma, former Republican Congressman Tom Coburn, one of the most pro-family of lawmakers, and South Carolina Congressman Jim DeMint will go to Capitol Hill as members of the Senate.
In Louisiana, David Vitter is a proven pro-family leader who has taken on the gambling industry, the abortion industry and will be the first Republican Senator in Louisiana since Reconstruction (after the Civil War.)"
A pro-life president has the opportunity to make one to three appointments to the US Supreme Court in the next 4 years, the same court which legalized abortion in 1973 with "Roe vs Wade". Pro-abortionists fear that Bush appointees may reverse the '73 decision.
Today's results sends a strong moral message to the whole world. The family does matter! Politicians who vote for abortion, gay marriage, pornography etc, must be ousted.
"Christians for Truth" in South Africa (representing 104,000 members) will continue to conscientise voters; encouraging South Africans to vote according Biblical family values.
