As Indiana has once again made national news, this time for our new abortion restrictions, the rhetoric has been loud and harsh. News clips show women carrying signs and shouting that their rights are being ignored. The ACLU, the most anti-America and anti-moral organization in the nation, has joined in the debate, suing Indiana over the law, which prohibits a child from being slaughtered in the womb due to birth defects.

Just as happened when the governor attempted to protect Christian Hoosiers and Christian Indiana business owners from legal action for refusing to participate in perverse activities, Mike Pence is once again being demonized because of his strong, ethical and courageous stance.

There are a great many Hoosiers, and likely those from all across America, who admire and appreciate the governor. His character is being assaulted by filthy-mouthed and filthy-minded people from all across the country, with his only crime being that he lives and governs by moral, decent Christian conviction and values. Although not many may make this public statement, I am: I support Gov. Pence completely, and I deeply admire his strength of character and his grace under fire. May God bless you, richly governor, and continue to grant you wisdom and strength.
