Instead of solving real problems, our elected officials in Olympia are going to great lengths to craft legislation for segments of their core constituencies.  There purpose is to pacify their base and ensure reelection.  Now that our lawmakers would do that probably doesn’t surprise anyone reading this blog.  If fact, if it were just run-of-the-mill political pandering I probably wouldn’t mention it, but two recently introduced bills, House Bill 2837 and Senate Bill 6452 would, if passed, cause the death of innocents.      

            Apparently abortion supporters, such as NARAL and Planned Parenthood, have schemed with liberal legislators to limit or prohibit much of the information provided by Pro-Life pregnancy centers while at the same time specifically exempting abortion providers, or as the bill euphemistically calls them, “Comprehensive Birth Control Services” providers.  According to LifeNews.com, State Senator Joe Zarelli, a Republican, opposes the legislation saying that it goes against the free speech rights of pregnancy resource centers.  I agree. 

            Despite this legislation, I am encouraged.  If we were not winning the debate, the abortion supporters would ignore us.  Still this inane legislation has a fairly long list of sponsors in both the House and Senate, which only goes to show that we do not need a full-time legislature and, if fact, our representatives spend too much time in session.  I urge you to contact your elected officials and persuade them to solve the real problems of the state.
