I’m not a fan of Lindsey Graham, but I had to let him know that I appreciated his efforts to introduce the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act in the U.S. Senate.  The House passed this bill last June and there is no excuse for the Senate not taking it up, passing it, and overriding President Obama’s promised veto.  No sane person could make a cogent argument for killing pain-capable unborn children.  To date, Harry Reid refuses to allow a vote on this bill.  His refusal to allow a vote is motivated by his desire to provide political cover for the President, not the welfare of mothers and their unborn children.

I believe a nation gets the leaders it deserves.  Until we stop the killing of our children we will continue to have leaders like Harry Reid, Barack Obama, and even Lindsey Graham.  I felt compelled to let Senator Graham know what I thought last November 7 in the following letter.

Senator Lindsey Graham

290 Russell Senate Office Building

Washington, D.C. 20510

November 7, 2014

 Senator Graham: In the interest of full disclosure, I feel that dinosaurs like you, John McCain, and Mitch McConnell should be run out of office and replaced with true conservatives.  I must, however, applaud your efforts to bring the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act before the Senate for a vote.  Senator Graham, if this bill is passed by the Senate and President Obama’s promised veto is overridden, the lives of at least 15,000 unborn children will be saved every year in America.  Sir, these children will be saved from a ghastly, indescribably agonizing death and will go on to claim their Right to life, just like you, me, and every other American was able to, whatever side of this issue we may be on.

Senator Graham, the President seems to have a tenuous grasp, at best, on the truth, so here’s an incontrovertible truth.  100% of the people voting for or against this bill were allowed to be born.  Don’t our unborn children deserve at least the same consideration?  Should the most pro-abortion President in history, along with his cronies at Planned Parenthood, be allowed to continue the slaughter of America’s children?  A third of America’s unborn children die at the hands of America’s abortion mills.  Your pro-abortion colleagues in the Senate continue to say they want abortion to be safe, rare, and legal while 1.2 million babies are killed every year in our country.  They all know that killing unborn children is neither safe, rare, nor should be legal, but it sounds good to their uninformed constituents and it gets them reelected so, what the hell, let the killing continue.

Senator, it’s gut check time for America.  We are sliding into tyranny and it’s time for all men and women of honor and integrity to stand up for the things that really matter; God, life, freedom, and family.  It’s time to stop worrying about elections or the consequences of doing what we know is right.  Senator, you have some heavy lifting to do in order to get the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act through the Democrat controlled Senate.  Ask your colleagues who are against this bill to explain to the American people why they feel that unborn children, who can feel the agony of being ripped apart, should continue to be killed in our country.

Planned Parenthood and the abortion lobbyists are hard at work twisting arms in the Senate to defeat this bill.  Sir, the lives of our children are worth fighting for and worth whatever price we have to pay, personally or professionally, to stop the killing.  Senator Graham, in closing, a simple quote from Ronald Reagan: “We have the duty to protect the life of an unborn child.”
