New Hampshireās first-in-the-nation primary is almost here. Bernie Sanders is in position to hand Hillary Clinton a loss (though sheās conceding nothing in the final day of campaigning). More than two dozen other presidential candidates will be on the Democratic ballot, including one determined and outspoken pro-life man who isnāt worried about the numbers. Henry Hewes is running in several states, with one goal: education about the nature of abortion and the value of the right to life.
āIām not seeking to get a majority of the delegates, so I donāt have to worry about being included in every state,ā said Hewes in a recent interview with Leaven for the Loaf. He is on the presidential primary ballot in several states including New Hampshire, Missouri, and Louisiana, and heās on the ballot in Puerto Rico as well.

āWhat Iām looking to do is to run ads nationwide, not really designed or focused around getting people to vote for Henry Hewes, but around pro-life education. All across the country, I think the prolife movement has largely failed to educate the average American as to whatās going on. When I turn to people and I say āyou realize 3500 babies will be murdered todayā, it never occurred to people thatās actually going on. The average American doesnāt keep track of this. If I describe to people a partial-birth abortion, the great majority of people literally do not believe me.If I describe what happens in a d&c abortion, the great majority of just normal Americans donāt believe it.ā
Hewes continued, āI continue to believe that if you put me in a room with Hillary Clinton and twenty average people ā¦ and Hillary Clinton described honestly her position on abortion, and explained that she believes people have an absolute right to kill their babies, that this includes partial-birth abortion however grisly that is, includes third-term abortion, includes abortions because you donāt like the sex of your baby, includes abortions to avoid having retarded children in the world, and that 58 million people killed since 1973 is a small price to pay for the rights of women to control their bodies, and I then explain my side, I think the majority of the people in New Hampshire would say āwell, I donāt really agree a hundred percent with either Henry or Hillary, but Iām sure as hell a lot closer to Henry.āā
