She stated that:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe declaration of female reproduction justice has been ringing so clearly these past few years as we continue to take strides to claim control of every aspect of ourselves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In 2011, Kandace co-founded <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prro.tk\/\">PRRO<\/a>, a pro-abortion group with the mission to\u00a0&#8220;inform residents of PEI [Prince Edward Island] what reproductive rights women are entitled to, but are currently being denied.&#8221; Is Kandace truly making a difference in her community and making the world a better place by fighting to bring abortion to Prince Edward Island? I think not. Abortion hurts women, not helps them.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of voting to bring abortion to PEI, I recommend voting for Tara Brinston, a candidate wanting to bring awareness to those with\u00a0intellectual\u00a0disabilities. She is proud to be a part of something bigger than herself, and stated:<\/p>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"margin: 18px;\" title=\"Tara Brinston\" src=\"http:\/\/www.2012.active8campaign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/IMG_01572.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"144\" height=\"216\" \/><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;I envision a world that celebrates everyone\u2019s individual gifts and embraces the diversity that is<span style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0humanity.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>She recognizes the beauty in each human life, and works to uphold that in her everyday work. This, I believe, would make MUCH more of a difference than bringing abortion to PEI.<\/p>\n<p>Good news! Anyone can vote (pledge) for the winner of this competition!
