My family came to America to escape religious persecution.

If elected, Mark Milosia will be making decisions on women’s health care as well as children’s and frail seniors. These are life and death choices that he will rubberstamp based on the dictates of the American Legislative Exchange Council or his religion. If he is elected, I will pay the price each time I walk into my doctors office; so will every woman in Washington — not Mark.

How can women trust any elected officeholder whose first loyalty is to a fundamentalist religion or a party that has declaredwar on women? For many years he ran, apparently opportunistically, under the banner of the Democratic Party in King County. The platform of that party calls for support of the law created by Roe vs. Wade, which he has worked against. Now that the war on women is in the open, he has switched to the party that declared that war.

I pray that voters will take notice before it is too late.
