Abortion Kills Life -
And America's Culture!

Unless voters get a grip on the role Abortion plays in our economic, cultural, political, spiritual and personal lives, our society is swiftly heading for the dust bin of history.
Why?
Because Abortion has become the litmus test of American politics. That’s right. More women now vote than men. They can control the outcome of an election if they vote “pro choice,” or what I call “pro death” for millions of unborn in America.
It’s a sad day in our 226-year history as a Constitutional Republic that a single issue – Abortion – can determine who will be our Presidents, our Supreme Court Justices, our Governors, Senators, Congressional members, and even Mayors and Freeholders.
Women vote on the Abortion issue. Period.
It should not be that way, but that’s the reality of today’s political process.
Hillary Clinton was elected to the U.S. Senate because she received 60 percent of the women’s vote. And most women vote for pro-abortion candidates. That’s what an extremely liberal media and culture have done to the greatest nation the world has ever known.
We have become a dysfunctional society over the past 40 years because of politically-correct (expedient) liberalism.
Abortion must not be an issue in our political process. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled, unfortunately, that Abortion is legal in the United States. So be it.
But keep Abortion out of the political arena.
The real issues are our constitutional freedoms, of course. Don’t let Abortion overshadow taxes, education, crime, the economy, the environment, transportation, and all those real issues that truly impact all of our lives every day.
Abortion is a personal matter between a woman and her conscience. That cannot possibly be a political issue. When Abortion does become a political issue, it distorts everything else, especially the reality of our daily lives.
Abortion veered so far from reality that it’s now the main issue in the California Governor’s race this November.
The race for Governor comes down to “The Economy Vs. Abortion.”
A majority of voters in California are pro-abortion. So is Governor Gray Davis, a liberal Democrat.
The Republican candidate running against Davis is Bill Simon, who is against Abortion. Bill Simon’s father, a graduate of Red Bank Catholic High School, was Treasury Secretary for Presidents Nixon and Ford in the 1970s. Catholics don’t approve of Abortion.
The California Democrat party plans to demonize Bill Simon Jr. as an “anti-abortion zealot.” The Democrats’ chief strategist, Garry South, declared that “Bill Simon is an unelectable extremist.”
Democrats love the word “extremist” when it comes to portraying a conservative Republican.
But aren’t Democrats “extremists” if they blindly and dumbly accept Abortion as the main issue in a statewide or national election?
Conservative Bill Simon is not an extremist. He’s a realist. He wants to deal with California’s economic crisis. The Democrats have all but bankrupted the State of California, which now has a state budget that has a record deficit of $17 billion. That’s what Democrats have done to California over the past four years. California, the Golden State, is about to go bust!
So who will California voters elect in November? The same Democrat who created the economic crisis, or a Republican who is against Abortion but is not making Abortion an issue. Simon’s issue is “the economy, stupid!”
The common-sense voter, you would think, will select the candidate who can turn around California’s impoverished economy. There’s absolutely nothing Abortion can do, either pro or con, to save California’s once-thriving economic system.
