Dear Editor:

Jackie Walorski talks nice and “seems” to be a pro-life candidate, but does prove herself to be a pro-life legislator?

In December, she voted to fully fund Planned Parenthood through the 2016 Omnibus Bill, but six months earlier, she had released this statement following the Planned Parenthood videos: “I am thoroughly disgusted that Planned Parenthood, the country’s largest abortion provider, would engage in selling baby body parts. As a former state legislator, I’ve continually voted to protect the sanctity of life by defunding Planned Parenthood. In addition, I’m also an original cosponsor of legislation to prohibit any federal funds from going to organizations, like Planned Parenthood, that provide abortions. It’s completely inhumane that anyone would want to profit from the death of children, first by dismembering them and then by selling their organs piece by piece. This horrific abuse demands a response from Congress immediately.”

So can anyone tell me what changed Jackie’s mind? If her votes don’t match her words, I think it’s time we pink slip Jackie. I’m voting on May 3 for Jeff Petermann, not just a pro-life candidate, but someone who will also be a pro-life legislator.
