Editor, Gazette-Journal:
On Sept. 24, 2021, the House of Representatives passed the Women’s Health Protection Act. That bill would neutralize all of the pro-life laws in the U.S. and prevent any new pro-life bills from being passed in the future.
On Jan. 31, 2022, the Senate voted on the bill. In both cases, the voting was along party lines with Democrats voting for the bill and Republicans voting against it. Thank God, West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin voted his religion instead of his party, and the bill was defeated.
The pro-life laws protecting and helping pregnant women and unborn children still stand. The lives of many helpless, innocent unborn babies will be saved and the souls of many women won’t be put in jeopardy.
If there is another “Profiles in Courage” book, Joe Manchin definitely deserves a prominent place in it.
