Dansville United Methodist Church

Dear Pastor Don, This past Sunday at Church I heard that the State Republican Party, and some Republican candidates are ‘staying away’ from Prop 3. I believe this is a rumor that some democrats want Christians to believe. The truth is, as Right to Life of Michigan has recently reminded us, there no Pro-Life democrats in the current legislature as there are only Pro-Life Republicans serving. Do we really want to trust the future of our State to the supporters of Proposal 3? As experts study the words of Proposal 3, it becomes clear that it is bad as the critics are claiming. Prop 3 is terrible. It allows for abortion on demand and prevents parents from having input on their children’s reproductive health. Below is some information from the Michigan Right to Life website. Your Church is in the heart of the new State House District I am running in. I want to insure you that, as a candidate for the State House, I stand against Prop 3 and for the unborn as well as State Senator Tom Barrett who is running for US Congress. Both of our opponents actively support Proposition 3. If you would like to talk to me about this issue or others, please contact me by phone or respond to this email. Thanks. Norm Shinkle, Candidate for the State House, District 73 (517) 655-5992 _________________________ From Michigan Right to Life Website: (supportmiwomenandchildren.org) The Reproductive Freedom for All proposed constitutional amendment is not about reproductive freedom, which already exists. Planned Parenthood and the ACLU’s amendment would radically distort Michigan’s Constitution to create a new unlimited right to abortion, which would spill over and affect many other issues. This poorly-worded amendment would repeal dozens of state laws, including our state’s ban on tax-funded abortions, the partial-birth abortion ban, and fundamentally alter the parent-child relationship by preventing parents from having input on their children’s health.
