Read Blackmon quotes not included in the cover story: "We can say 'pro-choice' or 'pro-life,' but in the end it is what is about the best interests of those unwanted children who come into the world. What are we going to do to assist those families for those children to have opportunities to become healthy, productive citizens? I do know that the God that I serve says that the only sin that one is not forgiven for is blasphemy. If someone has to make a heart-wrenching decision to terminate a pregnancy, that is a personal decision they must make with prayer and God. As a Christian, I do believe in eternal life, so those individuals who have to make that decision, that soul, that spirit lives forever. If that is not true, then those who profess to be Christians do not believe in a resurrected Christ." (Blackmon)
