Labor Unions should be pro life

 
The cousin of John Riffe who is well known in the organized labor movement.....started organizing labor unions to protect mine workers and eventually became the VP of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) when it merged with theAFL to form the AFL-CI....author of this article Woodrow Wilcox. He correctly points out that the values they fought for should be applied to the unborn by the unions.
"Respect and value for the lives of the workers was a central theme of the labor union organizing movement.  Respect and value for the lives of unborn babies should be another central theme of the labor union movement today."
"The cause to value the lives of workers and the cause to value the lives of the unborn are allied causes. Each demands respect for human life. That is why I am against giving any labor union political money to any candidate who supports the abortion on demand industry which makes billions of dollars per year to disrespect human life. Coal miners should be protected to have the best chance of leaving a mine safely. And, unborn babies should have the best chance possible to leave their mother’s body safely. Please, join with me to demand that labor union leaders and labor union political money support only candidates who support the protection of workers’ lives and unborn babies’ lives."
