Letter to the Editor
Much commotion, emotion, and devotion surrounds the notion of today's political landscape. Everyone is politically involved in one form or another. Whether it is die hard commitment to a candidate, or simply trying to help choose theme songs for the various candidates, people are politically involved. For many reasons, the stakes are high and so are the emotions.
Do we dare to say it out loud? The future of our nation depends on this next presidential election.
That's pretty serious. It's meant to be sobering. It's meant to be challenging (and possibly strengthening) to each of our heartfelt beliefs.
It's in the foreground, but, oppression forces us to keep it in the background.
Neither side can state that the sanctity of life (or lack thereof) presses most eminently at the heart of our politics. It's most certainly a large part of why we put a D or an R beside our names. Neither side can state this.
Shame covers both sides. On the one hand, the R candidates feel that they've not done enough to preserve the sanctity of life. On the other hand, the D candidates are experiencing shame of seeing a policy gone too far as in the case of Tiller of Kansas.
The fact is, this is an issue of life and death. It does not require affiliation with a particular political party. It simply requires affiliation with the human condition. I hereby invite candidates of both parties to align with the things that promote the general welfare of our nation. Abortion does not promote the general welfare of our nation. It certainly does not promote the general welfare of women and children.
Where has this twisted debate gotten so far out of line? A woman's welfare is deeply compromised by abortion. Playing God benefits no one. Our general confidence has been maligned by this lack of trust that all things work together for good. Unfortunately, it's skewed with a disproportionately high rate of abortion amongst lower income individuals. Thus, those who need greater confidence to carry out the difficult work are experiencing less confidence in themselves and in a public stratosphere that no longer builds them up.
We do not have the right to silence the voice of the unborn child.
What about the voice of the woman's right to choose? You may ask. Women and men both have burdens in this earthly existence. Being with child is not a burden above all other burdens, such that demands legal intervention to alleviate this burden. No man, woman, or child has a right to call the shots in their own lives, if truth be told. We all give account somewhere. That's why there are laws and limits.
May I suggest that, though I've never had an abortion, I feel that I, as an individual, and we, as a nation have been stolen from because of abortion. This throwaway syndrome has affected us all. There is not value in human existence. We all suffer from this throwaway syndrome.
We do not have the right to silence the voice of the unborn child.
Some candidates wish to silence this voice. In today's political landscape, most of the Democratic voices choose their own voice above that of the unborn child. Some Republican candidates have wavered on this issue. I considered this an insult to the voice of the unborn child. My fellow political observer, if you waver on this issue, you demonstrate a lack of judgment that I deem most important in leadership.
Well, the unborn child may be finding a voice. Yes, several Democratic players are going to find that the unborn child cannot be silenced. The numbers have been diminished because of those who've been aborted. May this day be the day when several Democratic players find that, though those who've been aborted may not vote as many would be of age to do so, today, the numbers are not diminished.
It is time to fight. I'm voting for one who has not wavered, whose character has stood firm on this issue, and who, by his steadfastness in this issue and others has shown leadership.
I like Mike! I love what he stands for!
