To the Editor,
I was outraged to learn that Democratic state representative candidate Thomas Trehus thinks pro-life initiatives are simply “wedge issues.”
At a town meeting a while back, Trehus was asked about pro-life issues. Not only did he insist on not answering whether he was pro-life or pro-choice, he said, “Making this a political issue and a wedge issue is unstatesmenlike and wrong.”
Since when did fighting for the lives of the unborn become wrong? I’d like to think that most residents in Fillmore and Houston counties are pro-life, so Trehus’ smart-alecky comment is a slap in the face to those of us who prioritize life from birth until natural death.
Very simply, Trehus is being wishy-washy on pro-life because he knows his beliefs differ from that of the district he wants to represent. On the other hand, State Representative Greg Davids received a 100% rating from Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life (MCCL) over the past two years and has always been a consistent advocate for the unborn.
If you are pro-life, you simply cannot afford to elect someone who thinks it’s wrong to discuss abortion issues at the State Capitol. Please join me in voting for State Representative Greg Davids – a proven pro-life supporter – on November 8.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Carole Yenter
