Urgent PRO-LIFE Action Needed

Dear Subscribers,

The WCTU has had a long standing relationship with the Prohibition Party for which we are thankful. However, on Wednesday, May 10, 2023, it came to my attention that the Prohibition Party Platform changed from being Pro-life to Pro-Choice.

Thursday, May 11th, the new Platform had been removed from their website. I don’t know why but it gives us an opportunity to voice our concern. I think it would be wise if we all sent an email supporting their previous Pro-Life stand. Your input may influence them to stand firm for life. Please email the following key people in the Prohibition Party:

Jim Hedges: prohibitionists@hotmail.com

Jonathan Meekly: prohibitionists@gmail.com

Zack Kusnir: zack.kusnir@gmail.com

ADDITIONAL ACTION NEEDED

May 17th, Phil Collins, the Administrator of the Prohibition Party Facebook page, commented on the Pro-Choice stand in the Prohibition Party Platform. He invited others to join in the discussion.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

I am including the previous Pro-Life Platform statement and the new 2023 Pro-Choice Platform statement that was on their website so you can compare them.

PRO-LIFE

The Prohibition Party upholds a consistent life ethic with respect to abortion, capital punishment, and euthanasia. We therefore support legislation that establishes a right to life from conception until natural death. We consider abortion to be morally repugnant, and we do not support a right to procure one. We believe that taxpayer monies should not be used to fund abortions and, instead, advocate financial support for pregnancy centers and other institutions that promote the health of the mother and of the unborn child. We oppose the intentional destruction of human embryos as well. We stand against the use of the death penalty, as imprisonment eliminates the threat of individuals to society and allows offenders to reform themselves. We stand against the practice of euthanasia and of physician-assisted suicide, which prey upon the elderly and the depressed. We recognized the importance of mental health, and we therefore advocate for policies that educate people in this area and of other policies which would curtail the tragedy of suicide.

NEW PRO-CHOICE

We recognize that the issue of abortion, capital punishment, and euthanasia often divide this country. The SCOTUS has ruled that the states shall regulate access to abortion…We believe that each woman should have the right to decide based on her own conscience.
