Virginia State Senator Mamie Locke is a practicing Catholic and in favor of preserving a woman’s right to choose. Her challenger, Republican Tom Harmon, is opposed to abortion in all cases, even when a woman’s health is threatened. Guess which one was met by protesters as they left church on Sunday? Just guess!
With election day a little over a week away, desperate political candidates with mud to sling are slinging it with all their might. In one corner of Virginia, that mud slinging is happening in the form of a group called Save the Babies. This past Sunday, they stationed themselves outside of St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in Newport News, Virginia and waited for Locke to emerge. When she did, they shouted all sorts of neat things about baby killing at her. When Locke asked them to leave her alone, she was met with silence.
