Letter to President Obama

The following is an e-mail I sent to President Obama through the American Family Association.

Dear President Obama,

I regret my abortion. The negative effects of that act of killing my first child have lasted me for a lifetime, leaving deep scars in my soul that have not been erased.  Credible scientific research also points to the increased risk of breast cancer because of my abortion.
I am 47 years old, just as you are, and I grew up in the time when the abortion clinics were lying to young women by telling them it was “just a clump of tissue”. What is even more heinous in this era is the belief that a woman, even knowing that her unborn child is not just a “clump of tissue”, is being told it is her “right” to either give that child life or death.  Where is the consent of the one who is being killed? The unborn child cannot speak for him/herself.  We MUST assume that a person, given the ability to voice their desire, would WANT to live! The human spirit vigorously fights to retain life once it is given.  It is wrong for America to take away protection from our youngest, most fragile ones, under the guise of it being a “private” act between a woman and her doctor.  Taking an innocent person’s life is never “private”.

The abortion “issue” is no different than the slavery issue.  People, because the constitution does not protect them as they are not deemed “persons” because of their age, are subject to death and dismemberment. If you are a person who loves God as you say you do, you must do all in your power to protect the most innocent and vulnerable in our society! You are bound to “rescue those who are being led away to death”. I implore you to leave the reasonable restrictions that have been placed on abortion! By God’s grace you will have the courage to stand up against the radical extremes of removing protection for the unborn,  and even fight to eradicate abortion completely!
