Support for regulations regarding womens' heath centers
 

I would like to provide my support at restricting access to abortion services at womens' health centers. I believe in the sanctity of life and that a human life begins at conception since the DNA is separate from mother and fater, reproduces its own cells, and is NOT part of a woman's body, but instead depends on nutrients from a mother. I believe in the human rights of an unborn child and thus should be protected by law. I believe that because we ourselves are thankful for the life we have, we should not dictate whether an unborn child deserves life or not while we are thankful we ourselves were not aborted. I believe we should instead increase resourses for foster care programs, local community projects, and adoption services. A woman's choice is NOT whether or not to kill an unborn child, but the choice is whether or not she should have sex or not, understanding that there are in fact consequences for having sex. 

 

Providing alternate services and counseling I believe will help reduce unwanted pregnancies and provide meaningful instruction to men and women regarding risks of pregnancy and birth. To allow a "quick fix" like abortion is the wrong answer through and through. There are alternatives to abortion. We should not allow individuals to play God and dictate who should live and who should not before a child is born.
