I would like to point something out to the loyal Democrats of this area. Al
Gore and Bill Bradley both support all abortions including late-term
abortions, otherwise known as partial-birth abortion. I will spare readers the
gruesome and horrific details of this procedure, but those who don’t know what
it is can find a description at www.prolifeinfo.org.
Those who say they are pro-choice are putting themselves in line with
supporters of partial-birth abortion, whether they agree with it or not.
I believe that most of the area’s Democrats are good, moral people who
object to this blatant infanticide. However, they overlook this issue for
several reasons. Whether its because they have a family tradition of voting
Democrat or they believe that the Clinton/Gore administration is responsible
for the current economic prosperity or they agree with the candidates on other
issues, they continue to cast their votes for partial-birth abortion
advocates.
To those who would put their own comfort and self interests above their
moral duty, I leave you with the words of the 18th century philosopher Edmund
Burke: “The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do
nothing.”
