Letter: Support Perez for Congress

By Gale Long, Vancouver
Published: September 6, 2022, 6:00am

Marie Gluesenkamp Perez’s opponent says he will work tirelessly to ban all abortions. He says there is no circumstance where abortion should be allowed, “no crime justifies killing an innocent unborn child.” And he’ll never vote for funding abortion providers “even if it means shutting down the federal government.”

This is not just about women’s right to choose. It is authoritarianism’s path to fascism. Anyone eager to impose MAGA extremism does not belong in Congress.

If you are a woman or if you know a woman, vote this November. And please vote for Marie Gluesenkamp Perez. “Candidate quality” matters.
