I am pro life because I've seen an aborted baby for myself. Held one in fact! It is heartbreaking. Of course than there is the fact that I was born in 1964 (almost a decade before woe vs wade) to a young 15 year old girl. My dad was in prison. A decade later my mother did have an abortion. She would have had one to end my existence too if they were available in our small rural town. Interesting to note, that she is grateful that wasn't her option. The years were difficult, there is no denying that, but 44 years later, she is proud of my accomplishments and it is not my life that causes her grief.

Abortions hurt the women, those stats. are never discussed by the liberals. Often the circumstances surrounding pregnancy are heartbreaking. Unfortunately making a bad choice just makes thos circumstances worse, for years to come.

Glad to have my say, glad have been given life and glad to be running for the State Senate!
