| | | | Like others who support Planned Parenthood, I am pro-life. I am pro-all life, even if it breathes. Thirty-three countries (including Cuba, China, El Salvador) hold life more sacred than America does. At least they have a lower infant mortality rate. Twenty-eight nations don’t believe a woman loses the sacredness of her life or her right to private property if she becomes pregnant. They have a lower maternal death rate. Yet, House Republicans want to cut funding for Women, Infants, and Children nutrition assistance program; Hunger Free Communities Grants, the Global Health and Child Survival Account, assuring that even more babies and mothers will die. No honest person dare call that “pro-life.”
It’s not even pro-selected life.

I am an evangelical Christian but Pat Robertson, James Dobson, Franklin Graham, Richard Land don’t speak for me, although they sometimes seem to in the media. Some evangelicals shun the name “Evangelical” because they don’t want to be identified with fundamentalists who want to usurp the name for themselves. By dictionary definition all Protestants are evangelical but we quote different scriptures. Jesus said we are to love our enemy (Matthew. 5:44) but it’s hard for me to love my enemy if I call him evil. The Bible says believers are to pay their taxes (Romans: 13:7) so even if I weren’t a patriot I would pay my taxes. Jesus said we would be judged by how we feed the hungry, clothe the naked,... | | | | | |
