The Christian Post’s national headline reads: “W.Va. governor signs law requiring doctors to help babies born alive after abortion.” It’s newsworthy that our WV legislators succeeded in bipartisan passage of the very thing federal lawmakers can’t even bring to the floor: actionable protection for babies who survive abortionists’ best efforts to kill them. The Mountain State’s leadership continues to be noticed, and we’re genuinely influencing other states with pro-life values. One of my WV friends responded with, “This is good, but how about we outlaw abortion…period!” That’s definitely the goal.

Their other health care services have been steadily going down, while the number of abortions keeps going up revealing Planned Parenthood’s true profit motive. According to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund site, Manchin is viewed as “a key senator and potential bridge between political parties.” Pro-life voices must also be heard by Senator Manchin. The WV Primary Care Association website says, “West Virginia’s 31 Community Health Center (CHC) …
