IDAHO: Oppose abortion now

| February 12, 2021 1:00 AM

A tidal wave of unwanted, illegal, unconstitutional edicts is coming to Idaho by way of the executive orders being signed by Joe Biden. The Democrat controlled Congress is proposing some of the similar measures. Not the least of these is the mandate to require abortion up to and after birth (as it already exists in New York State) to kill babies for convenience.

It is our duty as a people of the state of Idaho to oppose these unconstitutional, and simply immoral acts. Such an effort is being made right now in the Idaho House of Representatives in the form of House Bill 56.

House Bill 56 will make all elective abortion illegal in the state of Idaho and stop the slaughter of innocent and defenseless babies. A civilized state must do this to send a message and take a stand for life and righteousness as opposed to the culture of death and destruction that is the current actions of the modern Democratic Socialist party.

I urge all Idahoans to email, call and write your state representatives to support this important legislation. History will judge us for being bold, or weak when it comes to protecting our own offspring. I, for one, want to be on the side of life and liberty, not death and slavery.
