I’ve been writing a lot lately about the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.  In a perfect world I wouldn’t have to write about something like this.  In a perfect world it wouldn’t be legal to have your unborn child killed.  We wouldn’t allow an unborn children to be killed at any point in their young lives, whether they could feel it or not.  On Father’s Day I would be remiss if I didn’t remind all fathers that our most important duty in life is to protect our children.

On June 19 of last year I felt compelled to remind the President of the magnitude of the killing that goes on in our country’s abortion mills every year.  The numbers are staggering, and so is the President’s refusal to lift a finger to stop the slaughter.

Mr. President:

What’s in a number?  The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act protects unborn children 20 weeks old and older from the horror of abortion.  Ask yourself these questions: When did the countdown to 20 weeks start?  Was it at the moment of conception?  Does the determination that an unborn child is 20 weeks old confirm that it is a living human being that has been alive for 20 weeks?  If a child has been alive for 20 weeks, what possible legal or moral justification could there be for killing it at any point in its life, starting at the moment of conception?

One more question Mr. President:  Why is it only wrong to kill a child if it is capable of feeling the pain of being killed?   I’ll help you out since I’m pretty sure you don’t have access to your teleprompter on the rare occasion that you actually read a letter from an American citizen.  A child is a living human being from the moment of conception and is endowed by our Creator with the same right to life as you and I.  Engaging in the intentional killing of a child at any point in its life at any time after conception is not only a violation of the law of man, but of God’s law as well.  Short answer so even you can understand: Killing kids is wrong! Don’t do it!

Now that we have that out of the way, allow me to describe a brutally effective abortion technique your friends at Planned Parenthood are quite fond of.  It’s called saline amniocentesis and got its inspiration from none other than the Nazi concentration camps.

A syringe is inserted into the amniotic sac and up to 8 ounces of amniotic fluid is withdrawn.  The abortionist then injects a concentrated salt solution into the amniotic sac.  The salt solution burns the child’s skin and sears its lungs, inflicting indescribable pain that usually kills the child within an hour.  One to two days later the mother delivers the dead, shriveled body of her baby.  We’ve all had the experience of salt on a cut or scrape and know how it feels.  Imagine that pain over your entire body, including your lungs, until you die.  That’s how the greatest country on earth treats its unborn.

What’s in a number?  334,000 stories of pain and suffering, all ending in the death of a human being, all performed in the abortion mills of Planned Parenthood just last year.

Mr. President, one last question:  How many innocent children will you allow to be killed this year?

 Ms. Richards:

Yesterday I attended the funeral of a good man.  He was the father of a friend and lived a full, rich life of 90 years.  It was a life full of good works and positive outcomes.  He seized the gift of life he was given and made the most of it; and in the process left the world a better place, before he went home for his final reward.

Ms. Richards, every new life has the potential to do good works and change the world.  All they need is a chance to claim the Right to life they were given by the One who created the Universe.  And that, Ms. Richards, is why I’m writing this letter.  Planned Parenthood kills hundreds of thousands of unborn children every year.  Every child your organization gets paid to kill was granted the gift of life for a reason.  I make no claim to knowing the reason why a child is granted this gift.  I accept it for what it is and choose not to question God’s intentions.

My mission in life is to protect our unborn children from the industry you fight so hard to grow and protect.  I’m sickened by the pain and death you peddle daily, while thousands of dead babies represent a good day at the office for you.

I’m at the point in my life where I’m thinking about the legacy I want to leave.  Based on the eulogy I heard yesterday, I have a lot of growing and a lot of giving to do before I leave this world.  The good thing is, I don’t have to invent anything or try to be someone I’m not.  All I have to do is listen to that calm, quiet voice in my head telling me to fight for the lives of our children.  It’s telling me to walk away from everything I’ve previously considered markers of success, and to pursue my cause full-time.  I must admit, it’s a daily struggle for me to do my day job while I think more and more about this, my night job.

At some point, I know I’ll take a leap of faith and decide to pester you and your supporters full-time.   Until then, I’ll do my best to keep your secretary busy reading my letters, and who knows, maybe someday she’ll come around to my way of thinking and allow one to make it all the way to your desk.  All I know is I won’t give up and I’ll never turn my back on the world’s innocent children.  I’m determined to put you out of business.  I intend to do so in my lifetime, in a peaceful manner, and with the help of millions of like-minded people.

As always, my letters to you are published on my pro-life blog at www.prolifepoppop.com.  Write back and I’ll publish it, unedited.

There is nothing I like better than spending time with my grandsons.  On a stormy day last June my oldest grandson’s daycare closed early and I got the call to pick him up.  We spent the afternoon reading and watching movies together as a rather nasty storm rumbled outside.  Times like this are what my fondest memories are made of.  Nothing earth-shattering happened that day, but I got to spend time with a child that I love more than life itself.

By the middle of June last year I was fully committed to my letter writing campaign to the President.  The following letter was written on a stormy June 13 after my grandson had been safety tucked into his bed for another night of pleasant dreams.

 Mr. President:

Today may have been a relatively uneventful day for most people.  For me, it was just another day at the office until I got the call from my daughter asking if I could pick my grandson up from daycare, since they were closing early due to bad weather.  That’s when my day took a dramatic turn for the better.

Having the opportunity to spend 2 hours with this precious child made my whole week.  As we sat together, listening to the approaching thunderstorm, he snuggled close to me, knowing that whatever the storm brought, Pop Pop would protect him.

Mr. President, the scourge of abortion has denied millions of grandparents the feeling of trust and unconditional love that I feel when I am in the company of my grandson.  There is no greater honor for me than to be entrusted with the care of this child, and I would die for him without hesitation if need be.

Mr. President, it’s time that our country got its collective head screwed on straight.  We’re allowing Planned Parenthood, as well as others, to kill our unborn children as a matter of convenience, and frankly, as a means of routine contraception for some.  This has to stop.

As long as our society allows its unborn children to be killed for a fee and discarded like trash, our country will continue its rapidly increasing decent into moral oblivion.  Sir, as I’ve said in previous letters, none of which you have replied to, I believe America was divinely inspired.

Having been divinely inspired, we have a sacred obligation to hold in reverence the sanctity of all human life, especially those of our children.

Mr. President, indulge me tonight as you look into your children’s eyes.  Remember all the hugs, tears, skinned knees, and birthday parties.  Imagine the void that would be in your life if your 2 beautiful daughters had never been allowed to be born.  Imagine the indescribable pain that would have been inflicted upon them had they been aborted, and then tell me that you still believe that abortion should be legal and performed hundreds of thousands of times a year in this country.

Sir, you’re a smart guy.  You know that killing our children is wrong.  You don’t have to worry about getting reelected.  Do the right thing.  The world is watching.

This time last year, the House was about to vote on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.  President Obama had already made his intentions clear.  He had promised to veto the bill if it made it through the House and then the Democrat controlled Senate.  The House passed the bill and, as of this date, nearly a year later, Harry Reid refuses to allow a vote on it in the Senate.  I understand that reasonable people can disagree on what’s right and what’s  wrong.  What I can’t understand is why anyone would take a position against a bill designed to protect pain-capable unborn children from being killed, using a barbaric procedure such as dilation and evacuation.  Ripping a living human being apart with the intention of killing it should be illegal whether that human being is yet to be born, or at any other stage of its life.

Pain-capable babies continue to be killed every day in America while Harry Reid stonewalls this bill and the President glad-hands with Planned Parenthood.  I reached out to the President with the following letter on June 12 of last year.  As always, I copied his good friends at Planned Parenthood just so they would know I was thinking about them too.

 Mr. President:

Since you claim that your inner circle doesn’t tell you anything, I just wanted to let you know that the House will be voting on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act next week.  This bill, if passed, will ban abortions on living human beings 20 weeks old and older.

While I don’t think this bill goes far enough, I’ll take every small victory for our innocent children and be grateful for it.  Medical experts say that unborn children can feel pain as early as 8 weeks into their young lives, so my question to you and the murderers at Planned Parenthood is this: Does the fact that these innocent children die an excruciating death at the hands of an abortionist bother you at all?

I’m quite sure that your surrogates and those representing the abortion industry are hard at work behind the scenes to protect their cash flow from late-term abortions, whatever the science says and regardless of the reality of the pain and suffering they inflict.   Hopefully, enough men and women of principle will resist the arm-twisting and do right by our children.

Mr. President, I think we both know that whatever the House does, this bill is dead on arrival at the Senate.  We both also know that a little arm-twisting of your own can get this bill through the Senate.  Then, all you have to do is sign it, and countless thousands of innocent babies will be afforded the most basic and most important of all human rights, the right to life.

Try to forget for a moment that money is more important to your good friends at Planned Parenthood than the lives of our country’s children, and do the right thing.  Sir, God knows you’ve made a total mess of this country in less than 5 years, but being remembered by historians as the man who stemmed the tide of abortion and stood up for the right to life of the most vulnerable among us will seal your place in history.

Mr. President, I’m a bottom line kind of guy so I’ll give it to you straight; your administration is the most corrupt in the history of our country, even the left-wing media is turning against you, and you could really use a little positive PR right now.  Push the bill, sign the bill, and make a whole lot of new friends.  Trust me; you’re going to need them.

Attn:    President Barack Obama

 June 10, 2014

 Mr. President:

I join my fellow Americans in mourning the 2 young lives that ended in an Oregon high school today.  I also mourn for the 3,500 unborn babies killed in America today and 1 million of their brothers, sisters, future friends, and playmates who will die in our nation’s abortion mills this year.  The deaths of 2 young teens just a day before their last day of school is getting worldwide news coverage.  Nowhere on the news will you see the deaths of thousands of innocent unborn children covered.

Mr. President, instead of trotting out your standard gun-control talking points, how about doing something that will really save lives?  Endorse and promise to sign the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.  Cut the flow of hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood.  Endorse personhood legislation that will protect unborn children from the moment of conception.  And work for the repeal of Roe v Wade.

There you have it.  Your legacy as the man who ended the slaughter of America’s unborn children will secure your place in history as a defender of life and a friend to the unborn.  Who knows; you may even win another Nobel Peace Prize, and this time you will have actually earned it.  Mr. President, there is no downside to standing up for the Right to life for the world’s unborn children.  You’ll probably end up pissing off your friends at Planned Parenthood, but you have to know that you were only going to be their friend for as long as you were of some use to them.

Mr. President, while I don’t expect you to do a 180 from being the most abortion-friendly President in history, to a friend of the pro-life movement, I will never give up hope.  I believe in miracles.  Every unborn child that was killed today was a one of a kind miracle.  Sir, who are we to decide which miracle gets to live, and which miracle must die?

Mr. President, you have a little over 2 years left as the titular leader of the free world.  Why not make good use of the time you have left?  You can go down in history as the worst President ever, the man who bankrupted America, the man who ruined our healthcare system, the man who negotiated with terrorists, and the man who blamed the death of 4 brave Americans on a video.  You can continue on your present course and relegate America, the world’s last best hope, to a third world country.  Or, you can change course and live by the oath you swore when you assumed the Presidency.

Mr. President, it’s your move.  The world is watching and our unborn children deserve better.

Ms. Richards:

 I’m getting ready to go for a run, and I’ll be thinking about you.  While my heart is pumping oxygen rich blood through my body I’ll be thinking about all the tiny hearts Planned Parenthood will stop tomorrow.  Ms. Richards, a beating heart is undeniable proof of life.  Intentionally stopping a beating heart undeniably ends a life, and is nothing short of murder.  Up to now, I’ve been reluctant to call what Planned Parenthood and America’s abortion industry does to our unborn children murder, but what else can you call killing another human being for money?

Ms. Richards, I’ve asked you this before: If you truly believe that what you do is for the good of humanity, why don’t you do it for free?  Truly altruistic works are performed solely for the good of others with no expectation of compensation.  Your evil empire kills children for one reason only, money.  You fight against laws to protect pain-capable children from suffering agonizingly painful deaths at the hands of the abortion industry for one reason only, money.

I’m a capitalist, and believe everyone should be fairly compensated for goods and services provided.  I also believe in ethics and integrity and that every business should conduct itself in a manner that harms no one.  Planned Parenthood and America’s abortion industry fails miserably when placed to this test.  A business model designed by a racist eugenicist, based on deception and killing innocent children for a fee, is doomed to fail.

I’m not going to stand by and just wait for Planned Parenthood and America’s abortion industry to collapse under the weight of their immorality and culture of death, because every day we wait for you to self-destruct, thousands of innocent children die.  I don’t know when it will all come crashing down.  I can only hope that I’m able to play a small part in closing your doors for the last time.

Ms. Richards, I’ve seen the desperate young women walking towards the door of my local Planned Parenthood clinic.  It breaks my heart to know that a tiny human being is spending its last moments alive as its mother enters your office.  I truly feel bad for the people working in your clinics.  Like everyone, they have to make a living.  They shouldn’t have to make their living working for an organization that has killed millions of innocent children.

My immediate goal is to close your Salisbury, Md. office.  I have no ill will towards the employees at my local Planned Parenthood office.  I simply want the killing within sight of my grandsons’ daycare center to end.  Get back to me and let me know when I can expect to see this office closed.  Thanks for your help.

To Whom it May Concern:

The home office has had a bad couple of weeks lately, with the pro-life billboard looming over its Jackson, Michigan office and the announcement that they are closing 3 more abortion clinics in Oregon.  The bad news for Planned Parenthood is good news for all the babies who will now get their chance at life.  As much as Planned Parenthood wants to tout the services they provide other than abortion, it’s abundantly clear that, without the demand for abortions, they will go out of business.

Since your office is only open a couple days a week, I can only hope that the mother ship will be pulling the plug on your operation any day now. While there’s big money to be made performing abortions, if the demand for your services is no longer there, it doesn’t really matter, does it?  That’s where I come in.  My mission is to make the world aware of the brutality and corruption that is part and parcel of Planned Parenthood’s business model.  Your President, Cecile Richards is helping me do my job.  By associating with the likes of NARAL and President Obama, she’s showing the world that principles and basic human decency have no place at the table at Planned Parenthood.

I can only assume that even Planned Parenthood requires a basic level of intelligence and reasoning ability from its employees.  Just in case you haven’t figured it out by now, working for an organization that kills babies for money makes you and your fellow employees complicit in every single death.  Every time you schedule an abortion, facilitate the delivery of an abortifacient, or greet a young mother seeking an abortion, you put into motion the death of a tiny human being.  You can try to deny that you have anything to do with killing children if you don’t personally perform the abortions or administer the drugs, but your role as an assistant to the person who actually performs the procedures means the blood of every dead child is on your hands.

While I’m not holding my breath waiting for replies from the Governor, the Wicomico County Executive, and The Wicomico County Council to my letters requesting the State of Maryland and Wicomico County be declared abortion-free zones, hope springs eternal.  Maybe the wheels have already been put into motion to make it happen.  I’ll let you know as soon as I know something.

I’ll continue to keep an eye on your location and hope to see a Space For Rent sign in your window real soon.  In the mean time, I’ll keep writing and you’ll have to keep making decisions about whether to accept delivery of my letters and read them or refuse delivery and convince yourself that I will just go away.

With football season finally in sight again, I was reminded of how Matt Birk, formerly of the Baltimore Ravens, blew off the President when he invited the Super Bowl Champion Ravens to the White House.   Matt is a man of honor and integrity and refused to rub elbows with the most abortion-friendly President in history.  I like to see men and women stand on principle, without regard to the cost.  They know we can’t break our principles, we can only break ourselves against them.  Generally accepted principles of human behavior, the most important of which is respect for every human life, will prevail in the end; but at what cost to our unborn children.  Maybe the most inept smartest President in history can explain it to us.

I wrote the following letter last June 10 to the man who claims he can stop the rise of the oceans.  I’d be happy if he could just tell his staff to stop sending the same form-letter back to me over and over and over.

Mr. President:

 One saving grace of being a citizen of the socialist republic of Maryland is having the Baltimore Ravens to cheer for.  Since we have a Governor who, incredibly, is even to the left of you and just as pro-abortion, we savor the small pleasures such as a Super Bowl Champion football team.

I was especially happy to hear that Ravens center Matt Birk blew off your White House reception for his team as a matter of principle.  Like me, Matt is appalled that the President of his country could stand before Planned Parenthood and state “God bless Planned Parenthood.”   Matt Birk is a pro-life advocate and not meeting with the first sitting President in history to speak before Planned Parenthood was a no-brainer.

Mr. President, in their latest Annual Report Planned Parenthood reported that they had performed nearly 334,000 abortions during calendar year 2011-2012.  That’s 334,000 innocent children brutally killed for profit, for no good reason, and with your approval.

Sir, Planned Parenthood is a disgrace to our country and the world.  As much as they try to dress up what they really do by calling it reproductive health care, we all know that they’re in the business of killing children.  I wonder how many of my fellow Americans will have to pay taxes for their entire life to cover the tab for the nearly $543 million Planned Parenthood received from our government last year.  Just think how many hungry children could have been fed with this money and what contribution to our society and the world these innocent children, who are killed at the rate of 1 every 94 seconds, could make if just given the chance to live, just like you, me, and the abortionist were given.

Life is a relentless force and will ultimately prevail in spite of the best efforts of you and Planned Parenthood to stifle it.  Try as you may, you and your fellow pro-abortion hypocrites cannot continue to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent children every year without consequences.  Mr. President, our God given gift of free will is a 2 way street.  While He grants us free will, we will all be held accountable for how we exercise it.  Have you given any thought to how you will address our Creator when the time comes for your inevitable meeting with Him?  Let me give you a friendly heads up; He doesn’t buy political spin or BS, both of which you are admittedly fluent in.

With all due respect, may I suggest the closing for your next speech before the murderers at Planned Parenthood; “May God have mercy on Planned Parenthood.”

My Mission, My Life

I pray to God daily for His guidance in my fight to save our unborn children.  I don’t have the answers; so I ask.  All I have is a goal and a burning desire in my gut to end the practice of abortion.  Whatever He asks of me, I will do.  Whatever it takes, I will give.  Whatever the sacrifice, I willingly accept.  In every righteous war the greater good must necessarily trump the personal interests of the warriors.  I humbly accept my station in this life.  I’m prepared to toil away in anonymity for the rest of my life if my efforts will swing the pendulum, even a little, towards the side of life.

I’m no longer discouraged when my letters go unanswered.  I know that someone on the receiving end opens and reads them.  Whether I change the addressee’s mind or that of the person opening the mail, is of no concern to me.  I have faith that my letters will end up in the hands of the persons they will have the most impact on.  I am encouraged when organizations like my local Planned Parenthood clinic begin to refuse delivery of my letters. That lets me know that I’ve gotten into their heads and I’m making them think about what they do for a living.  It lets me know that they are uncomfortable with the truth and that one of my letters, before they stopped accepting them, struck a chord.

I continue to be amazed at how random conversations, something as simple as a billboard on the side of the road, or a chance meeting provides me with my inspiration for that day’s letter or post.  Many nights I’m not sure who I’m going to write to or what I’m going to write about, so I start typing and the words just pour out.  I don’t question this any more.  I just accept it.  Some days I wake up with a single word or series of words on my mind. That word or series of words seems to bounce around in my head all day and by day’s end I have a rough draft of my letter or post finished before I even start to type.

I hope to live long enough to see a world that no longer considers its unborn children to be disposable annoyances.  Glimmers of hope abound, with new legislation being proposed throughout America, placing restrictions or outright bans on abortion.  While changing our laws and repealing Roe v Wade are important, they don’t address the systemic problem that led us to where we are as a society.  Until we return to our founding values; the sanctity of every human being’s Right to life, and faith in a higher power, the lives of every unborn child will remain at risk.

I take comfort in the knowledge that most Americans oppose abortion once they become aware of the means, methods, and numbers associated with the abortion industry and crimes against humanity they commit on a daily basis.  My resolve to continue my fight is strengthened every time I receive positive feedback on one of my pieces, but will never be weakened even if my work is never acknowledged. I know that fighting to end abortion is what I am here at this time and at this place to do.  The freedom I feel from not wanting anything for myself for my efforts to end abortion is liberating beyond all description.  I know that I am a warrior for a just cause and nothing will ever divert me from the course I have chosen.

June 5, 2014

Last June I was less than a month into my mission to end abortion.  Quite frankly, I was just beginning to realize how hard it was to come up with something different to write every day on a subject like abortion.  Some nights I floundered and some nights were easier than others, but I stayed at it.  I feel a sense of urgency to get my work published, so, some days I have to admit that I don’t take the time I should to get every piece to a quality level of writing that I strive for.  Over the past year I’ve written so much, that when I go back and review many of my letters, I have no recollection of writing them.  Maybe I’m just getting old.

I wrote the following letter to President Obama on June 5 of last year, and it happens to be one that I don’t remember writing.  I wonder if anyone at the White House remembers reading it.

 Mr. President:

I am constantly tormented with the knowledge that as I go about my daily routine, living my life, and providing for my family, innocent babies are being brutally killed in unspeakably barbaric procedures in America’s abortion mills, every hour, and every day.  These precious children have committed no crime and deserve no punishment.  They are God’s gift to the world and yet our laws continue to allow them to be slaughtered by the thousands.

Mr. President, at the end of my life when I stand before God I will proudly proclaim that I did everything I could to save our children, and I will ask for His forgiveness for not being able to save them all.  Sir, in my humble opinion, there can be no higher calling in this life than saving innocent children from the horror of abortion.  I know you and I disagree on the subject of abortion, but sir I ask you to look at the numbers.  At least 350,000 children will die in Planned Parenthood’s abortion clinics this year.  That’s another 9/11 by a factor of nearly 120 every year.  If 350,000 adults were slaughtered in America this year do you think anyone would be outraged?

Just so you know, I have decided that since you are joined at the hip with Planned Parenthood, I will be copying them on all my letters to you from this point forward.  Hopefully the time they spend shredding my letters will be time they’re not spending dismembering innocent children.

America’s abortion industry is nothing less than our generation’s holocaust.  The world was justifiably outraged when 6 million Jews were exterminated by Nazi Germany for no reason other than just being who they were.  All Americans of good conscience should be just as outraged that our laws have led to the murder of over 56 million children since Roe v Wade.  And sir, it’s getting worse.  So called bio-ethicists are now debating post –birth abortion and are proposing that parents should be able to abort their children up to the point that the child realizes its personhood; about 2 to 3 years of age.  This begs one to ask if our civilization can devolve any further.

Mr. President, I won’t stop asking for your help and I won’t just go away.  This is too important.  Let’s work together to end the scourge of abortion in our great country.
