Letter to editor: How can Rep. Peterson be 56 percent pro-life?
To the editor,
Last week, National Right to Life pulled its longtime endorsement of longtime representative of our Seventh Congressional District, Collin Peterson.
Peterson vigorously claims to be pro-life but he doesn’t vote that way anymore. He appears to no longer vote his values. Instead, he chooses to side with Democrat House Speaker Pelosi. I looked up the voting record on National Right to Life’s 116th Congress House Scorecard online and Peterson has only a 56 percent pro-life record for this most recent Congress. He even voted to overturn President Trump’s pro-life policy of not allowing U.S. taxpayer dollars to be used to fund overseas organizations that perform or promote abortion.
This is absolutely abhorrent. A person is either 100 percent pro-life or they aren’t pro-life at all. How can a Minnesotan who considers abortion to be the purposeful termination of an innocent human life support this man any longer?
It’s time to elect someone who fully stands behind the pro-life mission and votes that way on the floor.
