I want to thank Mike Minogue for his efforts in running for governor of Massachusetts, especially for taking a public stand on life from the very beginning of his campaign.
He unapologetically affirmed that he was pro-life, despite the division and obstacles he faced from members of his own party, not to mention the enormous resources the incumbent governor had at her disposal to promote abortion throughout the Commonwealth.
From the defeat of the assisted suicide ballot measure in 2012 to the ongoing effort to repeal the late-term abortion law pushed through by legislators and signed by Gov. Maura Healey, there are people across this state who continue to stand for life.
Mike Minogue lost the November 3 election after investing nearly $20 million of his own money in his campaign. His willingness to publicly stand for life deserves recognition.
Thank you, Mike. I hope your efforts inspire a new generation of politicians to stand for life and work toward a better, more compassionate Massachusetts.
