With that in mind, Hawaii could become a desirable destination to end the life of an unborn child. Legalizing abortion, even up to full-term, under the current administration could happen.
Before voting, find out the candidate's stance on these two issues. "Decide between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now choose life, that you and your descendants will live." (Deuteronomy)
