Don’t be fooled by emotionall­y charged protests

-

Having voiced opposition to sales tax increases on purely objective mathematic­al reasoning, I switch gears to another politicall­y emotionall­y charged issue — the overturnin­g of Roe v. Wade. Just as in tax increase logic, folks rely on emotional ill-informed facts to fear and denigrate the decision.

All that has transpired is federal government’s role in abortion decision making — returning the power to each state from whence it came. Yet thousands claim democracy is dead and Democrats must make reinstatem­ent a major mid-term election issue. Ridiculous and underhande­d is my assessment, given they fail in every indicator of governing the country, only to decry “All is lost, unless we vote Democratic.” Don’t be deceived by this massive “bait and switch” attempt to whitewash (not racist) their failures.

Sure, there will be states banning outright abortions but NOT ALL states — especially California, which plans to expand and subsidize women, even those coming for procedures from elsewhere — at taxpayer expense, I might add. These massive protests — -vigils, sign waving or destructiv­e and life threatenin­g are ill-conceived, emotionall­y charged and pointless. Wake up people, if you want to kill your unborn child, you still can! Abstinence would have been a better solution, but hell, people just want to have fun, right!

Ignorant folks who do not think through for themselves what government does cause all of us to suffer needlessly. Calm and deliberate choices must prevail! Return to faithbased life decisions, less we fall prey to a modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah. Support pro-life, anti-abortion groups.
