Vote Yes for Religious Freedom

2 min read

Editor, News-Register:

The "progressive" minions of Planned Parenthood are in a dither about Issue 1 on the August ballot. Raising the percentage of the vote to be in greater agreement with the federal Congress seems to offend them greatly. In a blatant attempt to remake Orthodox Christianity in the image of Biden-Pelosi, this coven proposes a petition to make abortion a state law, and they believe they have a chance of success if the rule remains at 50% plus one.

In this petition is a blatant attempt to override the First and 14th amendments, and the divine commandment "Thou shall not kill." The not-so-successfully hidden passion is using the power of government to silence any who oppose legalizing the murder of God's gift of children. "What is of God, the spirit of the world opposes, maligns, persecutes and crucifies." (Fulton J. Sheen, "Life of Christ.")

In addition to the above overreach, this petition requires all medical personnel to participate in the inherent evil of abortion, removing all conscience protections.

Several of them falsely claim their Catholicism -- are their actions consistent with the gospel they claim to follow, or are their actions merely socialist nihilism? Their lips claim faith, but their actions show fealty, not to the basilica, but the basilisk, the enemy of humanity, who engineered eviction from Eden.

A yes vote on Issue One is a vote for religion freedom and maintenance of conscience protection.
