Letter to Maryland Right to Life

Huckabee needs to maintain his momentum, and more endorsements from pro-life groups could help him do just that. I am sending this letter to Maryland and Virginia for now, although I may also send it to Washington and Louisiana.

Now that Mitt Romney has suspended his presidential candidacy, there is one fewer pro-life advocate with a chance of becoming President of the United States. Of those remaining, Mike Huckabee stands head and shoulders above the rest.

Huckabee is and always has been completely, consistently, and passionately pro-life. The issue of abortion is what originally got him involved in politics, and he passed pro-life legislation while governor of Arkansas. In this presidential campaign, he has clearly placed the pro-life cause at the forefront, and he is the only candidate who supports a Human Life Amendment to the Constitution.

John McCain does not support such an amendment, believing that we should allow the states to decide for themselves by overturning Roe v. Wade. Although I do believe that is an appropriate first step, I believe it is only that--a first step. For me at least, the pro-life movement isn't about just returning power to the states: it's about protecting all life. In addition, McCain has been wishy-washy on the topic of embryonic stem-cell research, and it is obvious that he has not made the pro-life effort a prioritized part of his platform, mentioning it only in an attempt to confirm his "conservatism."

The pundits are leaving Huckabee's campaign for dead. But the pundits are routinely mistaken. Consider Super Tuesday: none of the "analysts" or "experts" expected Huckabee to do so well. You can help prove them wrong again! You can show that, for many, the issue of life is still paramount! You can make a stand for life! Endorse Mike Huckabee for President!

Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Missouri, New Jersey, and Tennessee right-to-life groups have already endorsed Huckabee. Kansans for Life added to the growing momentum with their endorsement announcement today! Will you be next?

Thank you for your time.

Ha, John. That was pretty funny...at least the first part; I didn't read the rest.

I would venture to say that the only thing evil about the whole coincidence is believing that there is significance in such shenanigans.

By the way, I was debating whether to delete your comment, but I feel that I should since there is an expletive in the title of your blog, which can be seen one click away by viewing your profile.
