It is a fact that Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in our nation and in Humboldt County. Many of the very same doctors who deliver babies from the womb, destroy them in the womb. Locally, there are very few obstetricians who do not perform abortions.

In one sense, it’s incomprehensible that Barack Obama would forgo an opportunity to reunite his party by picking Hillary Clinton as his running mate, but in his place, wouldn’t you be willing to sacrifice a little if it guaranteed you’d never have to view and smell Bill Clinton’s sock feet propped up on the Oval Office desk?
