Imagine my surprise when I recently learned of a bill co-sponsored by our “representative” in the legislature (Senate Bill 25-183) that promotes taxpayer funding of abortion. Why was I surprised? Because I could find no coverage of the radical proposal in the pages of the Summit Daily News. I found a story about her support of an anti-Second Amendment bill, but nothing on the abortion funding bill. 

Perhaps the reason the paper didn’t cover the story was due to the reason McCluskie supports the legislation. It turns out that she favors abortion because “a birth is more expensive than an abortion” and that “ultimately, we achieve a cost savings because of the averted births that will not take place.” This means that our “pro-family” legislator is only pro-family when it doesn’t cost her too much money. 

But this begs the question: Why stop there? Why not provide taxpayer funding for murdering children after they are born. Obviously, it’s cheaper than allowing that human being to be a drain on the economy. Or, hey, since it’s the money and not the person that’s more important, why not provide taxpayer funding for murdering seniors. Clearly, they are a drain on the economy with their medical needs and such. 

Of course, I’m being a bit sarcastic to prove this point: McCluskie and the rest of the far-left extremists running the show in Denver really believe is that human life is only worth what they say it’s worth. Ironically, history shows us how that very belief system is what eventually led to the Holocaust and the slaughter of over six million Jews. 

McCluskie and the voters who elected her should be ashamed, but they won’t be because there’s no money in it. Meanwhile, thousands upon thousands of unborn babies will never be given the opportunity to enjoy the life God gave them to live.
