Doing the Right Thing

K.C. sent us the following quote. Need only look at the issues of life (opposing all abortion) and marriage (oppositng all same sex 'marriage' or 'civil unions') to see why so many people do not support these issues because it is safer, they want to be politically correct and they want to be popular. It takes a man or woman of conscience to do the right thing.

Cowardice asks the question - is it safe?
Expediency asks the question - is it political?
Vanity asks the question - is it popular?
But conscience asks the question - is it right?
And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor political, nor popular; but one must take it because it is right.
--- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
