To the courageous members of our General Assembly who voted "no" on June 19 against the late-term abortion legislation, thank you. Those who said "yes" to late-term abortions up until the point a fetus (baby) could live outside the womb merit a big no thank you.

However, I believe my service brothers and sisters can feel vindicated by those who voted “yes.” During and after the Vietnam War, we were falsely accused of being baby killers. The real baby killers are the one’s who approved the abortion legislation.

No doubt, those who said "yes" would vote "no" to the reinstatement of the death penalty. Their reasoning would be to avoid just one innocent person being put to death. However, it is OK if the person is the unborn. Now there is whining over the pen used to sign the bill. Hypocrisy truly does exist in the land of "Hope."
