Karen's Testimony |
| "We need to fight the battle on behalf of the
family. Ironically, those with the greatest passion for
the family have opted out of the political process, leaving
the debate over our nation’s values to those who
reject scriptural truth and family values. The results
have been disastrous – for the family, for our state,
for the nation. The social implications are staggering.
We've seen skyrocketing increases in teen pregnancy and
sexual activity, abortion, crime, divorce, illiteracy,
drug use, and homosexuality. As the moral fabric of our
society unravels, it is clear that we all need to recommit
ourselves to fight for family values – I want to
continue to be that fighter for you at the state Legislature."
