Dr. Ralph J. Duda Jr., an endocrinologist from Springfield MO, wrote a powerful op-ed about the disasterous Amendment 2 which voices the anger and frustrations of all of us fighting to see that this thing does not pass. I don’t want to spoil the whole thing for you, so here’s a little taste:

“…As a current-day physician and scientist, it pains me to think that we have advanced to the point of extracting that which has been, up to this time, cultivated by love, originated by the creator of all, and have then unknitted its fabric, dissected it into its unique and fragile threads, only to attempt to embark upon the business of brokering commodities for our own spare parts at the expense of sacred life itself.”
