To the Editor,
When going to vote this November, remember that if your mother would have had you aborted, you would not be alive today. Vote for candidates who will protect LIFE from natural conception to natural death!
God Bless America!

Your comment would likely have particular meaning for my long-time best friend, who passed away far too early in her life twenty years ago.
She was the fourth child born to her parents. Her family told her that her mother had undergone an extremely difficult delivery when she was born. and been cautioned that she should avoid future pregnancy at all costs, since she might not survive the next time. Despite all precautions, she became pregnant again. I’m not certain if the mother had the option of terminating the pregnancy, if she continued due to personal convictions or if she was convinced by others to “let nature take its course.”
The mother and the fetus died, leaving my friend, who was then two years of age, motherless. My friend grew up hearing so many stories about what a wonderful person she was. As often as that friend attempted to recall anything about her mother, she was never sure if those vague, fleeting recollections were real or imagined. The pain of this early tragedy in her life revisited her every time she saw others engaged with their mothers in one activity or another. She always said that Mother’s Day was the most difficult time of the year for her. And sadly, that was the reality of her all too abbreviated life.
It can be very tempting to insist that everyone be required to follow those hard and fast rules we believe to be inviolable, that is, unless or until one of those “exceptions to the rule” occurs in our life.
