To the editor:

We have an important election coming up soon.

If you want to change the “downfall” of our great nation, wake up to the realization of the evils that have been increasing in our country since the legalization of abortion. We have great pain and sadness (and anger) when we hear of and see the mass killings, especially those involving the children in school shootings and otherwise. These murderers are prosecuted and sentenced to life in prison or death.

If “out of sight, out of mind” is your mantra, please educate yourself, and “wake up” your mind to the truth. Research fetal development! Look at the pictures of the growing baby at even the earliest stages. There can be no doubt in your “sleeping” mind that this is truly a living human being. If someone placed a small baby in your arms, would you choose to chop “it” up and dispose of “it” in the garbage? How can a country hope to survive, and prosper when we choose to elect individuals who favor the mass killings of our future assets? Abortion is murder.

There are plenty of resources and options to prevent “untimely” pregnancies.

Get over your selfishness and vote pro life.
