How interesting was the Sakonnet Times dated January 31, 2019! There on the front page we have an article by Jim McGraw regarding substance abuse prevention and local clergy working together. What an ingenious way at an attempt to combat the addiction of our children. If we had more out of the box thinking like this maybe we could save a few more lives. We need much more faith-based activities to help our children. Please continue your efforts.
Ironically in the same paper was an opposing idea with no author but the Little Compton Democrats taking a stand for abortion! Oh they said reproductive rights but everyone knows those are code words for abortion. So in the town of Little Compton, where once our children were revered, we now don’t even want them born.
These are the same Democrats that have given our children Common Core, fewer students for teachers to teach, more teachers to help those few students and more demands on taxpayers’ money to do nothing to improve our town or the lives of our children.
Can you see the dichotomy of the articles? Drug prevention says our children are important; Little Compton Democrats say better to have an abortion than to give people faith, hope, and respect in themselves.
To those Democrats in town who support this it is of no surprise to me or to many. The walkaway from the Democrat party started a long time ago, I walked away from you when you left common sense at the door, and do not be surprised that many Democrats are truly horrified that you believe in death up to the time of birth. Who knows maybe you will extend it to the time a child turns 21, and say nothing for our senior generation who will be given hospice with a little extra morphine, after all they are going to die.
Those who believe in God will still offer you peace and charity and pray you will accept the belief in God and the Ten Commandments will win out!
