PRO-LIFE: Respectfully disagree?

| October 8, 2017 1:00 AM

Larry Tanzer wrote, “I take strong exception to the statement (made by Jim Hollingsworth) in his last paragraph: ‘No one in his right mind would ever vote for someone who is not pro-life.’” This criticism and Larry’s position has enormous contradiction within. Furthermore, Larry said, “I am pro-choice, and am in my right mind!” How can Larry suggest that one who holds to a “pro-choice” position be in their “right mind?” Idaho Statute 18-4001 says “Murder is the unlawful killing of a human being including, but not limited to, a human embryo or fetus, with malice aforethought or the intentional application of torture to a human being, which results in the death of a human being.”

Simply stated, the intentional killing of a human fetus or embryo is murder as defined by Idaho state law. Abortion is murder! No murderer is in their right mind. Please reconsider your position.
