A Message from our SDRTL President, Joe Conners

Dear Friends & Supporters of Southern Downriver Right to Life,

My wife and I recently visited a very stark & moving Holocaust Memorial near the Brandenburg Gate in the heart of Berlin, Germany.  This Holocaust Memorial  recalls the murder of over 6 million European Jews during WW II by Nazi Germany. Believe me, viewing this Memorial is a very sobering  experience.  After the war ended, the nations of the world  vowed that this can never happen again.

And yet, since 1973 when legalized abortion became the law of the land in our country through the Supreme Court decision known as Roe V. Wade, over 55 million unborn children have had their lives ended in their mothers’ wombs. This for me is heart breaking.  A mother’s womb should be the safest place in the world for a baby.  We have to change this, and we have to change it peacefully through elections.

So for me, a candidate’s position on Right to Life Issues is the very first thing I look at when I’m trying to figure out who to vote for.  And when you think about it, The Right to Life is the #1 Social Issue in America today.  Fortunately for us, we have  Right to Life of Michigan, the premier  non-partisan  Pro-Life organization in our state. And if you go  to their WEB Site  at  www.RTL.org. you can get your very own personalized ballot which lists all the RTL of Michigan’s endorsed 100%  Pro-Life candidates in your specific area. It’s really pretty cool! So please take advantage of this great tool, and VOTE Pro-Life on Aug.7th.

We are looking for volunteers who are willing to go to go door to door for our Pro-Life candidates and to work the polling precincts on election day

Mark Theobald is leading this effort for SDRTL. Please give him a call at 734-645-1662 or e-mail him at marktheobald90@gmail.com to volunteer for this very important work.

Because elections do have consequences.  We have made great strides over the past several years to legally defend the Sanctity of Life from conception to natural death in so many ways.

Let’s not stop now. We need your help to finish the job, and end abortion on demand for good.   Call Mark or me to volunteer. And vote Pro-Life!
