Abortion: A Rational Look at An Emotional Issue by R.C. Sproul
If I think of the ballot as a potential bullet, I will be more careful when I vote. The word vote comes from the Latin word votum, which means will. When I cast my vote, I express my will. Indeed, if my vote is decisive or a part of the winning majority, then I am not merely expressing my will but imposing my will on others.Many people think that the vote is merely a means to express personal desires or to seek personal gain, usually at the expense of others. On the contrary, to be ethically scrupulous in the casting of votes, we must vote only for what is just. To vote for a vested interest without just cause is to exercise tyranny.
