·         Abortion is not health care;

·         In the Beloved Community envisioned by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., equal justice means that young people in the womb are not terminated and old people in ill health are not denied care because of their age; and

·         Now is the time for Democrats and Republicans to come together to stand for compassionate care for all Americans, joining the chorus of "Free At Last" as proclaimed in Dr. King's " I Have A Dream" speech.
