Our nation’s abortion polices

  

 

                       

 

     Yes, if that issue involves a fundamental right to life for a certain group of human beings, and there is only one morally legitimate position on that issue.

     For example, no person would vote for a candidate who, although “personally opposed to slavery,” supported “a white man’s right to choose” to own slaves.

     Similarly, we have a moral obligation to withhold their vote from any candidate who, although “personally opposed to abortion,” supports “a woman’s right to choose” to have her child killed before birth by abortion.

 

     The right to life of all human beings is at the heart of all morality and  the foundation of justice, which is the fundamental purpose of civil law.  The protection of this right no more legislates one religious viewpoint than do laws against murder, child abuse, racial discrimination, theft, etc.

 

 

 

In 1973, the Supreme Court ruled through the Roe v Wade decision that abortion was legal throughout the nine-months of pregnancy. Since then over 55 million babies have been killed by abortion.  In Pennsylvania, over 18,000 children are killed by abortion each year.  The majority of Americans believe in the sanctity of life and want preborn children protected by laws.  It is vital that we elect public officials that share this belief and are willing to defend the sanctity of life.  Other issues are important but if candidate for office is not willing to defend the most innocent among us how can he be trusted to protect the rights and liberties of each one of us?

 

 

Planned Parenthood is world’s largest abortion company. This organization corrupts our children by encouraging sexual promiscuity and distributing drugs and devices to children behind the backs of their parents.  PP receives millions of dollars each year in tax-payer funds.  State and federal governments should not use tax payer money to help an organization dedicated to killing children and undermining the family.  Elected officials must commit to Defund Planned Parenthood and similar organizations.

 

 

Marriage is between one man and one woman  This relationship is the foundation for the family, the most fundamental unit in our society.  Traditional marriage and the rights of the family must be defended against the assault of those opposed to this sacred institution.  Protecting marriage protects children who are best raised by a mother and a  father. 

 

 

Through a series of votes in November 2009, and in March 2010, Many Representatives voted for “Health Care Reform” legislation (aka “Obamacare”) that will result in the largest expansion of abortion and other assaults on the sanctity of human life since the U.S. Supreme Court’s January 22, 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.

     Specifically, this   legislation will

 

 

ü Restrict the ability of senior citizens to supplement their health care

 coverage with their own money, so seniors will receive only the care

authorized by the federal government.

 

 

ü  Severely reduces Medicare reimbursements to physicians, particularly specialists, thus reducing the number of specialists available to treat seniors resulting in further rationing of health care for seniors.

 

 

ü Establishes “Comparative Effective Research Committees,” that will stifle medical innovation and care to those with a chronic or terminal illness.

 

 

ü Provides $11 billion in annual federal funding for Planned Parenthood “clinics” (by deeming them to be “community health centers”) so Planned Parenthood can provide abortions, contraceptive drugs and condoms to minors with no parental involvement.
