Dear friends,
I am the proud parent of a bright, beautiful, and very loving adopted child. My son is doubtless one of the greatest blessings in my life. As such, I am against abortion; my son wouldn’t be here otherwise. It is said that adoption is the loving option. Notwithstanding, I oppose people’s choice to support a political candidate solely on that politician’s position on abortion. I believe in human dignity and right to life across the entire spectrum of life, not only the pre-natal phase. Sending young soldiers to die in a war driven by economic interests and watching an elderly person slowly loose a battle to cancer because he or she cannot afford healthcare or insurance is attempting against life as well. Certain government policies as they stand are leading people to their deathbed, only that they’re doing this a little later in life and in a much slower fashion. I encourage you to consider a candidate based on the entirety of his or her political platform and position across a host of issues affecting human dignity and life, and not vehemently supporting someone based on one isolated issue. In sum, if you’re able to vote, vote with your conscience… but please do go out and vote. God bless you.
