Over the many gratefully embraced years of my life, I have seen a dramatic change in how America perceives the tremendous gift of life, the value of a single life, of all lives. I grew up learning that all lives are precious, that we are all interconnected through a bond, a sacred trust, if you will. This extends also to good stewardship for the earth and its resources.

The change, whether through shock news coverage of devastating catastrophes and wars, gun violent video games, mass shootings, the Roe decision for abortion murder on demand, etc., has caused a desensitizing reaction to such horrific acts. The overall lack of respect for life has allowed mass shooting gun violence and abortion murders to become an almost normal occurrence.

How can we elect any candidate who does not have the commonsense ability to realize that any abortion, abortion on demand, is killing a human being? It’s contraception after conception. It’s way past time to regain respect for the value of life.
