Barr opposes abortion

Liberals like Nancy Jo Kemper think that all women should be single-issue voters, and that single issue should be toeing the “pro-choice” line. I could not disagree more with that idea. Not only am I a pro-life woman, I am quite capable of thinking and speaking for myself.

What I cannot understand is how a Christian minister could possibly be pro-choice, or as it would be more accurately named, “pro-abortion.” The only choice that a pro-choicer has ever actively advocated for is abortion, so “pro-choice” is a misnomer. I learned that Rep. Andy Barr has a 100 percent pro-life rating from National Right to Life, and I look forward to voting for Barr on Nov. 8. I encourage all who believe that life is precious to join me in voting for Barr.
