The Provider Conscience Clause

The following letter came from a supporter in response to the recent actions of our President regarding the removal of the conscience clause for health care workers. We at Metro Women's Center whole-heartedly object to this unloving, inhumane action! Puppies and kittens are given more love and respect than babies! Seeds are cherished as future plants and trees! Why aren't our children so cherished?

Dear Mr. President Barack Obama:

I really do not understand your heart position in the matter of abortion, let alone the "ruling" you desire to force loving and caring doctors to commit such an un-oathful following through of what they are sworn in as doctors to accomplish - Save the lives of and restore the well-being of people, the human race!

I strongly object and raise my hand and the hand of a precious little one that I killed many years ago! I still cry outside, but tremble inside of just what that precious and innocent baby could have been, the love he/she would have received and given even though conceived in sin! I am guilty of murder, but thank God, I know my Lord and Savior has forgiven me as I have been washed with Jesus' blood, but never completely able to forgive myself. Now I have two beautiful daughters - one biological and one adopted! Thank God that my adopted daughter's mom had the audacity to carry on and complete her mission as one chosen to deliver a healthy girl, or our quiver would be semi-empty.

Please protect our rights! Please stand up for the true majority that have continued in the ethics of our America! We all came from somewhere else, some many and some few years ago. We all have rights--yes, we can allow those rights to be given to the unspeakable unborn baby, too! It is right now - in your hands! Please don't be like Pilate and wash your hands of the guilt of what you are attempting by not deeply thinking it through.

One thing hurts to think about, and that is the perception of a seed in a farmer's eyes - that cherished seed is already a fruitbearing, full-blooming plant in the eyes of the planter! Just as mentioned in the book Travelers' Gift by Andy Andrews, our American land was already in the eyes of Christopher Columbus long before anyone else could even try to see it!

What is in your sights for our country? Take away the cherished tenderness of a tiny babe, and what truly is left? You are correct--diminished care for elderly (and we will all get there some day) is a problem, and the uncaring need to reach out and help others. But how can we help others if we can't even stand up and take care of our own who are without a voice! Who is most important? Who?

I pray your soul is searched deeply and you find a quiet prayer closet to speak to your Lord and Maker on this matter, not just bow down to the loud and whiny to make a break with our country's loving and giving heritage. My 7-year-old prays every morning over breakfast for you to love the babies and let Jesus shine through you as you do your best as our President! Please, make her proud.

With deepest respect,

A proud citizen of the United States of America who desires to help this country continue in G.R.A.C.E. and power!
