Positively prolife.


Thank you for the article by Robert Robert, Henry Martyn 1837-1923.

American army engineer and parliamentary authority. He designed the defenses for Washington, D.C., during the Civil War and later wrote Robert's Rules of Order (1876).

 J. McClory ("Irreconcilable differences The existence of significant differences between a married couple that are so great and beyond resolution as to make the marriage unworkable, and for which the law permits a Divorce. ? Wrestling wrestling, sport in which two unarmed opponents grapple with one another. The object is to secure a fall, i.e., cause the opponent to lose balance and fall to the floor, and ultimately to pin the supine opponent's shoulders to the floor, through the use of body  with prolife politics," October). I am a Democrat and a strong supporter of John Kerry Editing of this page by unregistered or newly registered users is currently disabled due to vandalism. . I believe that Kerry is a thoughtful man who has struggled with this question and made a difficult decision. Perhaps he should make his reasons more known, as suggested in this article; however, I wonder why we would force him to disclose his reasons. Is it because he is a politician and is, of could be, seen as an example of behavior? If so, my suggestion is that we all look higher than Kerry or Bush!

We need to look to Jesus for our example and stop expecting politicians, sports stars, and movie stars to act like God. They are not perfect.

Rather than using the issue of abortion to find yet one more thing wrong with someone, I think we must look at the causes of abortion and fight those issues so women never "choose" to destroy a life. I believe that if there were as much money behind figuring out and addressing those issues as there is in the prolife and pro-choice movements, there would not be a need for either movement.

Finally, we need to be prolife where it counts--in our checkbooks. We must put our money where our mouth is and be willing to pay taxes to support children who are not being cared for by their parents--no matter what the reason.

If we say, "You must have this child," then we also must say, "And I am willing to pay higher taxes to ensure these children will not have to go without what they need."

I don't see how you can force a child into the world and then turn your back on the child because you need yet another tax cut!
