WK# 34

By Gina Johnsen

It wasn’t that long ago one could hear Louis Armstrong or another singer belt out the famous ballad What A Wonderful World. It’s a beautiful tune, a gentle two-step, with lyrics full of hope and wonder. A man of color singing about his wonderful life in a wonderful world, with nature, beauty, babies and love all around him.

Today, in our own wonderful community, an 84-yearold woman going door to door and sharing with neighbors about the worst ballot proposal the world has ever seen, gets shot in the shoulder. Why? Just because that neigh bor didn’t agree with her viewpoint on Proposal 3. What could have been a wonderful discussion, became a near death experience. So, what is behind Proposal 3 and why is it causing all this violence? It’s just politics and rheto ric, right? What’s the wonderful big deal?

Let’s examine Proposal 3, deceptively termed “Right to Reproductive Freedom Initiative”, which will forever change our Michigan Constitution, with no hope of any legislator altering it in the future. It overrides parental rights, giving super-rights to anyone who would like to exercise vague freedoms over any individual, minors included, in relation to reproductive organs, process es, transgender surgeries, abortions, sterilizations, cas trations, etc. The list is long with what it includes, like anytime abortion (after birth), by anyone (not a doctor), in any clinic or room or whatever, without oversight or question, with no parental consent or knowledge, deleting all current state laws and protections that might challenge any part of these new rights…this is evil!

Can you smell the aroma of people at the top of this food chain controlling victims and making a whole lot of money? What is the purpose of this proposal? Is it to promote childhood sexual anarchy? Every not-wonderful thing you can think of from pedophilia to sex-trafficking to rape to abuse of minors…all these included, without the benefit of current state laws that protect women, chil dren, and parents from these evils. Michigan Board of Canvassers states plainly that if this proposal passes, it will “invalidate all state laws that conflict with it” (which

are the current legal protections against it).

Additionally, Planned Parenthood’s multi-billion-dol lar industry, the ACLU, and Jane’s Revenge (a militant pro-abortion group) partner together to threaten any who would question their flow of revenue. In light of the chal lenges to this Proposal 3, pregnancy centers in Michigan found notes like this on their doors: “Warning: this is a fake clinic. If abortions aren’t safe, neither are you. Next time we will visit your homes, your churches, and your sponsors. Expect us.” And how interesting it is that the groups that claim they want abortion to be “safe and rare”, are the ones now threatening everyone’s lives and attempt ing to bully us all into submission. Who could possibly trust them?!

If you knew nothing at all about the topic of Proposal 3, but were aware of all the threats, the violence, the gun shots, and the hate, you might just be okay concluding that you would certainly vote NO on it. Who wants all that drama and violence?! Whether we are Christian or not, we all know good from evil. It is evil to encourage children to make decisions that will impact their lives irreversibly. Enough said – it’s not wonderful!

Proposal 3 is actually simple. It turns parents into weak, powerless bystanders while enabling the government/ school to change and mold their children into physical ly unfit and abnormal barren young people. And there’s a whole lot of money in sex-trafficking, abortion, transgen der surgeries, and the sale of puberty-blocking drugs. The only thing stopping this flow of MONEY is us and our votes! Those of us who are committed to being informed are going to vote our consciences and emphatically say NO to this and the other two bad proposals on the Novem ber 8th ballot. Proposal 3 is actually the worst proposal the entire world has ever seen.

Satan has planted his flag in Michigan and thinks he will lead destruction of America right here in our home state. You might say he is trying to connect New York to Cali fornia via mid-American Michigan. Are we going to stop this movement? Are we going to admit this is wrong? Will we win this battle against such tremendous evil and gross assault on humanity? It’s up to us – VOTE NO and help us defeat it. Contact www.protectlifemi.org or www.support miwomenandchildren.org
