I'M PERSONALLY OPPOSED TO ABORTION...

...AND I'M GONNA SHARE MY OPINIONS WITH OTHERS!

There's certainly no question about that. When Geraldine Ferraro told the American public, "I'm personally opposed to abortion, but I'm not going to enforce my opinion on others," I knew that we were in trouble. I confess that I voted for Democratic candidates(many of whom were, and still are, pro-choice) because my parents told me that "The Democrats are the only ones helping working families..."

Yeah, right!

How can the Democrats stand up for health care, education, jobs, housing, and everything else, if they won't defend the most important right of them all-the right to life? That's right. I'm using this blog to voice and vent my opinions on pro-choice politicians. I cannot morally, and in good conscience, support Barack Obama, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, or anyone who sell out their personal beliefs for the sake of political expediency.

When I wanted to vote for a pro-life independent candidate back in 2002, my Mother told me that I would be throwing away my vote and electing a Republican. What a farce! I wanted to do what I wanted, but in the end, I gave in to her counsel.

Well, now we are facing our worst election in years. Barack Obama vs. John McCain. While John McCain supports an end to abortion, he wants to expand embryonic stem cell research. And Barack Obama? He wants to destroy all protection for the unborn. I'm not voting on race or condition; I'm voting on the platform of life.

When I worked with my company earlier in my career and I tried to tell my pro-life side, one of the secretaries said, "But don't you believe in a woman's right to choose?" And she gives me all this about the rape, incest...etc. But only 1-3% of all unplanned pregnancies are from those two causes.

And what about if the mother's life is in danger? Medical technology is so advanced today that it's possible to save both the mother and the child.

i"d always settle for "agreeing to disagree," but not anymore. With two evils staring at me in the face, I'm not going to fall for it. If we had a major candidate who would defend the right to life, maybe we could save this country from chaos. The unborn child's life, the elderly person's life, the disabled person's life-all of these need to be defended.

And another person who worked there one time told me that she was pro-choice after I told her I was pro-life. Well, she added, "3 things we don't talk about here are politics, religion, and abortion." Well, I have to talk about them. After all, some of the clients in the place I work for are either abortion providers or abortion advocates.

As a handicapped person myself, I believe that all human life from conception to natural death is sacred and must be protected at all costs. Any politician who will not do that has cancelled himself out of my vote.

You know, I said some time ago that we were all born with the freedom to choose, but no one has the right to choose to do what is evil. The 19th. century suffragettes were opposed to abortion, saying that it would ruin the fabric of our society.

Then came Margaret Sanger and her Planned Parenthood racket, which is the largest provider of abortion services in the world. Is that family planning? It's genocide! Abortion is a genocide that must be stopped. And I believe that my pro-life blog is a start to doing that. Our country stands on the precipice of darkness, and only by educating ourselves on the dangers of abortion can we pull back from it.

You know, every October, you see those "breast cancer" fundraisers for organizations like Susan B. Komen, but what they don't tell you is that Komen is a major contributor to Planned Parenthood. And you hear those medical studies saying that "abortion can cause breast cancer?" They are perfectly true, despite what Komen says.

And you know Lee National Denim Day, which benefits the Women's Cancer Initiatives of the Entertainment Industry Foundation? They're funding programs that use embryonic stem cells. That's why I won't pay $5 to wear jeans that day.

And can you believe this? Yesterday in the mail, I got a letter from the National Organization for Women urging people to "Keep Abortion Legal," by contributing to their election fund. I had it returned to the sender, because they're part of the pro-death front. I already told you that the advocates for women's rights in the 19th. Century opposed abortion.

Of course, I believe in equal rights for women and minorities, but I also believe in equal rights for the unborn, the elderly, the disabled, and for other marginalized peoples in our society. I know that myself; when I was growing up, I suffered mental and emotional damage from a hernia operation. After many tests, the speicalists told my parents that I would amount to nothing and that i should be put in an institution.

They wouldn't buy that, and they fought for the funding and the rights for kids like myself to get the highest quality education possible. Thus, we are proud citizens and contributors to the society we live in today. Unfortunately, if they're going to continue that advocacy, they need to start standing up for one's right to live. And of course, we do have alternatives to abortion; we just need to utlilize them.

As we go to the polls this coming Tuesday, let us reflect on our choices when we go to the polls. Let's educate ourselves on the politicians' platforms, especially on how they deal with abortion and euthanasia. And if that candidate you're voting for is "pro-choice," you must reject him or her. We have to be careful with who we select, because what they stand for may not be what we want.

Yes, I'm personally opposed to abortion and, unlike Geraldine Ferraro, I'm going to share my beliefs with others. If you agree with me, that's good. If you don't, that's fine. Just don't make me cow down to your beliefs. After all, I don't want to be denied by God for denying his message; I want to be professed in heaven for professing his message.

BEFORE YOU VOTE...

Before you vote in the general election on November 4th., I want you to think about one thing.

You hear family and friends tell you that you can't be a "one-issue" voter. They tell you to look at their record on education, jobs, housing, etc. They say that if you vote for anyone other than a Democrat or Republican, you're "throwing away your vote!" I say bunk!

Neither John McCain or Barack Obama are my cup of tea. There are allegations that Obama's used a fake organization named Acorn to register voters in a fraudulent manner. There are also accusations that his "tax cut" program will benefit the wealthy, making us pay the price.

And then McCain's accused of following "Bush's economic program," which has resulted in the financial mess that Wall Street has passed onto Main Street.

But how do they stand on the issue of human life?

Barack Obama's not only "pro-choice," but he also advocates repealing many laws protecting the unborn. And he also wants to pass the "Freedom of Choice" act, allowing on demand abortion with no exceptions. While John McCain is opposed to abortion, he also wishes to expand embryonic stem cell research. This is the practice of extracting stem cells from embryos for treatments for diseases ranging from cancer to diabetes.

I give the two of them a failing grade in this aspect. It's not enough to claim that you're pro-life if you won't stand up for it. Mom always told me that "The Democrats are the only people who are helping working families." But how can you help working families if you won't defend the most important right of all-the right to life?

You know, someone acknolwedged one time that we all have the freedom to choose, but no one has the right to choose to do evil. And that's why I say that the right to life is the most defining issue. Without it, you can't take care of the other issues, such as housing, education, jobs, healthcare, and what have you.

So before you go voting in the polls this November 4th., remember that the choice you make in the ballot box will have ramifications that you and your family may have to deal with for the rest of your life-and beyond.

Remember, pro-choice equals pro-death!

OH, and one more thing! You know, October is National Breast Cancer Month. That's why you see Denim Day and the Race for the Cure. Most of these are supporting the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. And while you may not be aware of this, the Komen Foundation is in league with Planned Parenthood! That's right, the world's largest abortion provider in the world. Thousands of dollars are raised for the Komen foundation, but most go towards grants to Planned Parenthood.

And of course, while Lee National Denim Day supports the Women's Cancer Iniatives of the entertainment industry, the funding for it goes to doctors using embryonic stem cell research. Which is anti-life.

And of course, little can you believe this, but having an abortion increases a woman's chances for breast cancer later in life. That's a shocker that Komen and the Women's Cancer Initiatives won't acknowledge. So if you're trying to support a breast cancer organization, ask yourself if they're really what they do, or if they're a front for the culture of death.
