'CHOICE' BILL FOSTERS CHILD ABUSE

IN REGARD to the greatest child abuse - abortion - that kills unborn children:

I am deeply concerned about our country and its welfare. I am convinced that the way in which we treat any human being reflects upon us all.

More specifically, I am concerned about the Freedom of Choice Act, which would permit abortion on demand, regardless of the age of the pregnant person or the age of the fetus, and may not provide for adequate information, or parental or spousal notification. This is no way to protect the lives of the unborn, the most endangered group of human beings in our society.
