Senator Reid:

Monday night 163,204 fans attended the Redskins-Eagles and Chargers-Texans football games.  That’s a lot of fans.  America’s abortion industry will kill 163,204 unborn babies over the next 7 weeks.  That’s a lot of dead children.  Since you’ve delayed the Senate’s vote to authorize an attack on Syria to avenge the chemical weapons deaths of 1,400 civilians, including 400 children, you now have time to take up the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.  Incidentally, the 400 children killed in the attack are 2,900 less than will be killed in America’s abortion mills today.

Senator, you claim to be a devout Mormon.  Where in The Book of Mormon does it decree that America’s unborn children may be killed on demand as long as you pay the killer to dispatch the child?  Does it also say that faithful Mormons have an obligation to allow 1.2 million American children to be killed every year and that you should do nothing to end the killing?  Senator Reid, doing nothing as millions of unborn children are killed can only mean that it is being done with your approval and consent.

The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act will save about 15,000 babies from a grisly, painful death every year.  You may think that 15,000 is a small number since you’re used to racking up debt by the $ trillions, but I contend that every child is priceless and deserving of our protection from the moment of conception.  Senator Reid, as a father and grandfather just like me, I have no doubt that you would do whatever you had to in order to protect your children and grandchildren from harm.  So why, sir, would you do anything less to protect any child?

Passing the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act will only put a small dent in the number of abortions performed every year by Planned Parenthood and the rest of America’s abortion industry; but it’s a start.  Senator, you’ve taken a stand against torturing terrorists.  Take a stand now against torturing innocent children.  The torture techniques you opposed for ruthless killers resulted in temporary discomfort and no lasting side-effects.  The torture you allow on unborn children results in agonizingly painful deaths for the most innocent and vulnerable of human beings.

If you pass the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act you’ll get pushback from the President and the abortion industry.  Late term abortions are a cash cow for Planned Parenthood and its cronies, and they won’t give it up without a fight.  President Obama, the most abortion-friendly President in history, is firmly in their corner, for reasons that defy logic, and he’ll be fighting right beside them.  Pass the bill.  Override the veto, and do the right thing.  America’s children will thank you.

Senator Reid:

Several weeks ago I wrote you asking that you bring the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act to the Senate floor for debate and an up or down vote.  As you know, the House passed this legislation on June 13, 2013. Since I haven’t heard back from you I can only assume one or more of the following things: 1. My letter was immediately fed into your shredder since key words such as pro-life and saving children don’t fit within your agenda. 2. The Zip Code on my letter indicated that I can’t vote for you so any issues I may deem important are of no concern to you. 3. Planned Parenthood and the abortion lobby has already pressured/paid/coerced you into never letting this bill see the light of day.  Although I’m not a betting man, I’m going with number 3, with honorable mentions for 1 & 2.

President Obama has stated that he will veto this bill if it ends up on his desk, so what do you have to lose by bringing it up for honest debate and then allowing a vote?  Just so you know, I also wrote your fellow Senators, Mikulski, Cardin, and Boxer; and not a word from either of them.  By the way, same result from multiple letters to the President.  Is it something I said?

Senator, during your summer recess from August 5^th to September 6^th over 100,000 unborn children will die in America’s abortion mills.  Sir, if 100,000 American children died from a preventable disease over the course of a month would your chamber show the same lack of concern?  Senator Reid, it’s been estimated that the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act will save at least 15,000 unborn, pain-capable children from agonizing deaths every year.  Procedures such as Dilation and Evacuation, the abortion industry’s method of choice for killing babies at this stage of development, literally rip a child apart to remove it from its mother’s womb, and have no place in a world where every new life is endowed with the very same right to life that you and I are currently exercising.

Senator Reid, passing the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act won’t cost the American taxpayers a dime.  All it will do is save at least 15,000 children from being brutally killed every year.  If you disagree with me, say so and tell me what the downside is for saving the lives of innocent children.

America is currently lead by the most abortion-friendly President in our history.  He’s against this bill for reasons that defy logic.  With your endorsement, this bill can pass the Senate and then with enough votes from Senators and Congressmen of good conscience, the President’s inevitable veto can be over-ridden and thousands of children doomed to die a torturous death will be saved.  Senator Reid, I’m begging you to do the right thing.

Senator Reid:

I am writing you to express my support for the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. You recently indicated that you may be receptive to allowing a Senate vote on this bill and I urge you to follow through and bring it to the floor for debate.  I understand that getting a bill such as this through the Senate will be a heavy lift but I think reasonable people can agree that the lives of our unborn children, at the very least, deserve to be given this consideration.

Sir, as parents and grandparents we both treasure our children and grandchildren.  I can’t imagine one of my children or grandchildren being ripped from limb to limb by an abortionist wielding a Sopher clamp.  Aborting pain-capable children by dilation and evacuation is a barbaric procedure and subjects a living baby to an indescribably agonizing death.  I urge you to investigate the details of this method of abortion.  It is a brutal and tortuous way to kill a living human being and has no place in a civilized society.

Senator Reid, America is better than this.  The American Dream is still alive and our unborn children deserve their chance to experience it.  Wherever you stand on abortion, allowing pain-capable children to be slaughtered cannot be justified.

Sir, my second grandson is scheduled to be born in September.  Even though he is a fully developed, living human being, my daughter could walk into any abortion clinic in my state tomorrow and have this child killed.  As a pro-life advocate I find this unconscionable.

Senator Reid, 100% of your colleagues in the Senate who are opposed to the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act were allowed to be born.  All I am asking is that we give the next generation of children the same accommodation.

I therefore respectfully request that you speak out in favor of the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, allow it to be voted upon, and vote for its passage in the Senate.  Our children and grandchildren will be forever grateful.
