A very good letter.

I am a registered Republican and pro-life. I will not vote for any candidate, Republican or Democrat, who is pro-choice. My understanding is that pro-choice means that a woman can choose to keep her unborn baby or choose to have that baby killed.

Let’s not sugarcoat this by saying that it has to do with a woman’s right to control her own body. We are not just talking about a woman’s body. There is another human body involved here — the unborn child. Those who agree with the pro-choice view on legal abortion agree that it’s OK to murder an unborn human being.

While I am concerned about other issues in this election, nothing could be more important than protecting human life. I cannot vote for anyone who takes a pro-choice stance, period. This includes state Sen. Judy Schwank.

Abortion is the leading cause of death in the United States (862,320 in 2017, according to the most recent Guttmacher Institute statistics), followed by heart disease and cancer. We must elect pro-life candidates on every level and end this national carnage.
