AboutMrs. Priscilla Lyons Expertise I have time for you. The Bible has been my guiding light for most of the 56 years of my life. My missionary parents in Brazil kindled a love for God`s Word by their example and their love for truth. The Lord has blessed my husband and me with responsible, independent children who love and serve the Lord and are our best friends. I would enjoy discussing any subject or problem from a Biblical perspective. I know the dangers of government entitlement mentality, the dangers of homosexuality, abortion, euthanasia, embryonic stem cell research, gun restrictions, pacifism and environmental extremism.
Experience My husband and I are active in local Republican politics and I've served on a Right to Life PAC.
Question i have a term paper for honors civics and in my paper i have to represent both sides (democrats vs. republicans) and present their beliefs on abortion
Answer Dear Briana,
Thank you for writing. There are individual Democrats and Republicans who are pro-life, and there are individual Democrats and Republicans who AREN'T pro-life--aren't willing to give pre-born children the right to life enshrined in our Declaration of Independence.
The party platform should guide voting and government action by people, or why vote for that party? But obviously the principles listed in the platform are often ignored by individual members of a party.
Here is a webpage to help you with party platforms on this issue.
