To the editor:
It is shocking and scandalous. Tom Barrett, candidate for governor of Wisconsin, said at an October 15 town hall meeting in Milwaukee that embryonic stem cell research is “the Lord’s work.”
What a breathtaking new description of life-destroying research! We all know God as the Creator of life, and now Barrett has made Him a willing accomplice in research that depends on destroying a living human embryo.
To the editor:
The editorial “Respecting All Human Life” (Catholic Herald, October 7, 2010) correctly points out that the most vulnerable among us, the babies in the womb, lack the protections needed to safeguard their lives. The article lists many good things that we can do to protect these children, such as prayer and witness through 40 Days for Life.
However, we voters have another opportunity to take positive action to protect the most vulnerable and this is by not voting for those who have a track record of being pro-abortionists.
To the editor:
As someone with a strong respect for the sanctity of human life, I am deeply disturbed by the radically pro-abortion views of gubernatorial candidate Tom Barrett.
Barrett’s record clearly illustrates his extreme views on abortion. He has supported taxpayer funding of abortion and opposed parental notification laws.
