Roe v Wade will Soon Be Gone - Our Congessman, Chris Smith, has led the War on Roe - Congratulations Dist 4 NJ

Our Own Congressman, Chris Smith, has led the War on Women's Choice and he has Won.  Roe v Wade will be overturned in the Nov. Mid -Term Elections  
Dear Women, You will wake up one morning very soon and your right to choose will be gone.  As women, we  thought we had won our rights and moved on to live our lives, but  Congressman Smith made overturning Roe v Wade his personal and career goal.  Congressman Smith is a devout Catholic that believes that ALL Abortion is wrong , even in the case of the mother's life.   He is against Sex Education, the Birth Control Pill and the IUD. 

 Congressman are elected by us to represent our values in DC.  They write  the laws of our society. Smith has written and sponsored, as the Chair of Congressional Pro Life Caucus, laws that have slowly chipped away at Roe v Wade and women's reproductive health.  Smith also has introduced legislation to block abortions of victims of RAPE.  His HR3 Legislation changes the language of Rape to Forcible Rape. Which makes it harder for Rape victims to prove rape and empowers rapists.   To add further danger to women, he voted against the Violence Against Women's Act in 2013.   In States less progressive than ours, Smith's legislation has been enacted,  in those states women no longer have access to a safe, legal abortion.  Back ally abortions are back. http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5065301/  .  Smith's latest anti choice legislation, HR7, sailed through the Congress.  The only thing that has stopped the end of Roe v Wade is the Senate.  If the Republicans win the Senate in November, Roe v Wade is gone. Smith sits in the Congressional Seat of District 4 NJ that includes  the downs of:  Brielle, Bayhead, Point Pleasant, Manasquan, Sea Girt, Wall, Spring Lake, Belmar, Avon, Bradley Beach, part of Asbury Park, Allenhurst, Ocean, Tinton Falls, Colts Neck, Holmdel, Redbank, Rumson, Middletown, Freehold, Manalapan, Howell, Jackson, Lakehurst, Lakewood, Manchester, Hamilton, Allentown, Robbinsville, Plumstead, Fair Haven, Farmingdale, Lake Como and Little Silver.  District 4 is a socially progressive district that has harbored and aided the most anti woman Congressman in recent history.  District 4 NJ will have been the undoing of Roe v Wade.  We have allowed him, with our complacency, to use our District 4 Congressional Seat as a pulpit for his religious crusade to overturn Roe v Wade.  There is an irony to it. Smith is up for re-election in November.  Women , vote with your hearts.
