Carly Fiorina has my vote because we need a fighter in the White House who possesses the strength, courage, and conviction to take stand up for life and beat Hillary Clinton in the general election.
I am a pro-life Republican woman and active member of Save the 1, a group of individuals dedicated to protecting life and educating Americans about the lives of the unborn. That’s why I was thrilled to learn Carly was invited to speak at March for Life later this week — she’s the only presidential candidate to receive this important invitation. The organizers have said that Carly “embodies” the theme of the March: “Pro-Life and Pro-Woman Go Hand-In Hand.” I couldn’t agree more.
I started listening to Carly this fall when she bravely told the American people about what Planned Parenthood was doing behind closed doors — with taxpayer money. She described the horrors contained in the Center for Medical Progress videos, where Planned Parenthood workers talked about selling aborted baby parts for a profit. She put it bluntly: If we continue to allow these abortions to happen in this country, we are compromising the moral character of our nation.
On the debate stage that night, Carly was the clearest in condemning Planned Parenthood and the most effective at sharing her pro-life views. I truly respect a woman who tells it like it is on an issue imperative to the future of our country.
I was intrigued with Carly that night, but it wasn’t until I attended a “Citizen Carly” watch party in late November that I knew she’d have my vote. “Citizen Carly,” a documentary about the ups and downs of Carly’s life, taught me Carly can relate to people on so many levels. She’s faced struggles many Americans have faced, and each time Carly’s been able to not only overcome, but grow from those challenges.
Carly has faced difficult work environments and sexism, and at every step of her career she has gracefully navigated those challenges. Starting as a secretary in a 9-person firm, she eventually rose through the ranks at AT&T, and later became the first female CEO of a Fortune 20 company, Hewlett-Packard. She has also experienced personal tragedies: in 2009 she was both diagnosed with breast cancer and grieved the death of a step-daughter, who lost her life to addiction. Carly found strength and refuge in her faith and went on to serve others by leading global non-profits Opportunity International and Good360.
Carly is a fighter. Carly doesn’t back down — she comes out stronger and more resilient.
We need a pro-life president, and we can’t afford to trust a professional politician who provides lip service to the pro-life movement and run the risk he will forsake the cause when he’s elected.
Carly Fiorina plows right into the issues and talks about the topics Americans want to discuss. While Hillary Clinton is content to hide in the Democratic National Committee’s Saturday night debates, Carly Fiorina, in stark contrast, is giving citizens the opportunity to ask her questions live on Facebook, Twitter, and Periscope, and provides candid, honest answers to her questioners without reading from a script.
