Some politicians say they are personally opposed to abortion, but also say they cannot impose their beliefs on others.

Are politicians elected officials? Each time they vote for a law, they impose beliefs on someone.

Have we already forgotten the COVID vaccine mandates that crippled our economy and health care industry, harming countless citizens?

Abortion takes a life, and we do not need data to prove that abortion kills an innocent baby. We need no data trials to ensure its efficacy and safety. We already know abortion is killing. It is gruesome and cruel in most cases, especially late-term abortions.

As a state, we will push for mandates that force people to take things into their bodies they are uncomfortable with or feel unsafe about, and yet when the issue of abortion comes up, suddenly we shout, “my body, my choice.”

It either is, or it is not.

Jeremiah 1:5 says, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”

We must stand up and speak up for life. We must be shouting from the rooftops of the injustices and inconsistencies of our elected officials.

We must be the change.
