“I am looking for the BEST PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, AND THAT CANDIDATE IS DUNCAN HUNTER.”
You said it!
Here’s a letter to the editor that I sent to both secular and religious newspapers. Even though I am supporting Duncan Hunter, I included Sam Brownback to be fair, since it is about the life issue:
“Dear Editor:
While most of the Republican presidential candidates are pro-life to one degree or another, and some have perfect or near perfect pro-life voting records, I feel that Senator Sam Brownback and Congressman Duncan Hunter have the highest commitment to the pro-life cause, from conception to natural death.
While listening on EWTN radio, I heard both Sam Brownback and Duncan Hunter speak at the pro-life rally in Washington, D.C.
And year after year, Duncan Hunter has tried to get legislation passed with the bill he authored, the personhood-at-conception bill that has over 100 co-sponsors, which would define personhood as moment of conception, so, it would allow us to have a reversal of the effects of Roe v. Wade without a constitutional amendment.
Sam Brownback is constantly a loud and frequent voice for preborn and disabled voiceless persons.
During the first Republican debate, Sam Brownback and Duncan Hunter both said it was right for the U.S. Congress to intervene to save Terri Schiavo’s life.
Unfortunately, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain and Mitt Romney said that the U.S. Congress should not have stepped in to help Terri Schiavo.
And, sadly, as mayor, Rudy Giuliani, when speaking to NARAL in 2001 said: “..we are upholding a distinguished tradition that began in our city starting with the work of Margaret Sanger ..,” and former Mayor Giuliani has a history of appointing left-leaning judges when mayor of NYC, including a pro-abortion supporter.
It absolutely does matter whom we elect for president reagrding the life issue, because the president picks the judicial nominees, and other examples are when former President Clinton vetoed the ban on partial-birth infanticide, and overturned the Mexico City policy, where U.S. tax dollars would be given to organizations that perform or promote abortion in foreign countries.”
Great letter, Sun.
Some people seem to think it is an abuse of power when the government steps in to save someon’e life.
That is the purpose of gov’t.
I read the documents and looked at the xrays, and listened to the nurse’s who testified that Teri was making progress, and the creep, after he got the money, did nothing but prevent her from getting further treatment.
Everything, from her initial suspicious “collapse,” to the missing xrays that showed long-term physical abuse, with bones in various healing stages, to her friend’s testimony thatTeri planned to leave her “husband” the week after she collapsed,to the judge, nursing home, and attorney collusion,the entire case screamed for objective justice.
But, she did not get it. Too many people saw their own life decisions reflected in the case, and did not like the image.
Each one of us may, someday, be in Terri’s position. If we do not assert the necessity of defending all innocent human life, why should we expect anyone to defend us?
By the way, which of the presidential candidates, besides Hunter and Brownback, have attended the March for Life?
As anyone on the east coast knows, anyone who is prolife, and lives near DC , attends the March For Life.
