Letter to President Obama #106

Attn:    President Barack Obama

June 14, 2015

Mr. President:

The Senate is taking up the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act and you have promised to veto it if it makes it to your desk.  Why?  How could any sane human being oppose a bill that will ban the dismemberment killing of unborn babies who have developed to the point that they can feel the pain of every rip and tear as they are literally ripped to shreds while being killed?   Mr. President, we condemn the murderous thugs of ISIS for killing innocent human beings by beheading and torture, and allow the same methods to be used to kill unborn children in our nation’s abortion mills.

By the end of your second term, over 8 million unborn children will have been killed on your watch; about 160,000 of them by dismemberment abortion.  As the father of 2 beautiful daughters, how can you allow the slaughter to continue without doing a thing to stop it?  Sir, the most basic of all human rights is the right to life.  The most basic and most important of all your duties as President is to protect everyone’s right to life.  Sir, your vocal support of Planned Parenthood and your long track record of supporting the abortion industry is contrary to your most important duty as President.

When the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act clears the Senate how will you justify your veto?  Will you say that some lives are more important than others or that unborn children are not living human beings?  Mr. President, all the fancy words and political spin in the world can’t justify the unjustifiable.  Dismemberment abortion of pain-capable children must be stopped.  You are in a position to stop it and the world will be watching.

Mr. President, innocent unborn children are entirely dependent upon us for their very survival.  We have a moral obligation to protect them and we all know that allowing the indiscriminate killing of them is wrong.  The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act will save untold thousands of innocent children.  It will be a small step towards ending abortion, but a very important step.  The thousands of unborn children that die every day in America’s abortion mills are dying senseless deaths.  It’s way past time to end abortion in the greatest country on earth.

Mr. President, allow the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act to become the law of the land and watch as miracles occur.  Watch as babies doomed to die agonizing deaths are allowed to be born and to express their universally unique lives.  Sign the bill and take the political heat from the abortion industry and walk away, knowing you did the right thing.

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.

Hypocrisy

Not long ago, Planned Parenthood’s Cecile Richards tweeted “Black lives matter.”  As the President of Planned Parenthood, Ms. Richards heads an organization that was founded by a racist eugenicist named Margaret Sanger. Sanger’s stated intent upon establishing Planned Parenthood’s first abortion clinics in poor, inner city neighborhood’s was the extermination of the black race, to whom she referred as “human weeds.”  Since 1973, America’s abortion industry, with Planned Parenthood leading the way, has killed 16 million black children.  Every day in America, over 1,400 black children are aborted.

As an epidemic of young black men killing young black men is spreading throughout our nation’s largest cities, Planned Parenthood is killing thousands of unborn black children every week.  Black lives don’t matter to Planned Parenthood; neither do white lives or hispanic lives.  The only thing that matters to them is how many innocent children, of whatever race, they can kill and how much money they can make doing it.  Every minute and a half Planned Parenthood kills another innocent child, and every year, courtesy of the U.S. taxpayers, they are given over $500 million of our hard-earned money.

Planned Parenthood operates as a non-profit, tax-exempt organization while making billions of dollars killing children. A large portion of the income they get from killing children is used to support pro-abortion political candidates who, in turn, push legislation to make it easier to have your unborn child killed.  So, the money from unwilling taxpayers like me that is funneled to Planned Parenthood, from Planned Parenthood to their cronies in politics, and from their cronies in politics back to them, is then used by Planned Parenthood so they can kill even more children.  The circle of corruption is complete and everyone loses, especially our unborn children.

Every year Planned Parenthood bestows the Margaret Sanger Award upon some liberal sap in a Kabuki Theatre attempt to appear legitimate.  The award, in honor of their homicidal founder, is happily received by said liberal sap and everyone in the room smiles and basks in the glow of their collective ignorance and callous disregard for the lives of innocent children.  The next morning the killing resumes.

A few years ago Hillary Clinton received the Margaret Sanger Award.  During her acceptance speech she gushed that she admired Margaret Sanger’s vision.  That tells me all I need to know about her ethics and lack of character.  The woman who wants to be the leader of the free world is rabidly pro-abortion and quick to accuse anyone standing up for a child’s right to life of waging a war on women.

Hypocrisy, as I see it, is saying one thing and doing another.  It’s portraying yourself as caring and compassionate while supporting a cause that has resulted in 60 million unborn children dying senseless deaths since 1973.  Cecile Richards and Hillary Clinton are hypocrites.  They represent the smiling faces of pure evil.  Both have shown that there is nothing they won’t do for money, and the blood of millions of innocent children is on their hands.

Hypocrisy always results in the undoing of of those who practice it.  The universe’s perfect accounting system will eventually catch up with Cecile Richards and Hillary Clinton.  The price will be heavy and the debt will be paid.  The lives of Cecile Richards and Hillary Clinton are just as priceless as every life taken by the abortion industry they both support.  They both have had the chance to change the world for the better.  They both have failed miserably.

 

Guilty as Charged #2

In a previous post I asked the following question:  If you were accused of being pro-life would there be enough evidence to convict you?  Hearsay isn’t admissible nor are opinions.  In order to be convicted there must be an undeniable chain of evidence that would lead a jury of your peers to conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that you are guilty.  So, would you be found guilty or not?

Many of my friends and family say they are pro-life, but then qualify their position in the cases of rape, incest, and threat to the life of the mother.  From my perspective, if you are pro-life you are pro-life without exception.  And then there is my dilemma with the extremely rare cases where it is medically confirmed that carrying the child to full term presents a direct threat to the life of the mother.  Although medical advances have virtually eliminated this occurrence, I feel that, after exhausting all medical options to insure the survival of both mother and child, the decision as to what to do next is between the mother and God.

If this is construed as evidence against my pro-life stance, so be it. Does this make me a hypocrite?  I don’t know. You decide.  My belief is that every child should be given the fullest opportunity to be born and to express its God given right to life.  Most of us on the pro-life side feel that killing a child conceived through rape or incest is executing an innocent child for a crime committed by its father.  Many on my side believe that in cases where the life of the mother is in jeopardy she should turn it over to God and accept on faith whatever happens.  I think it is more complicated in these extremely rare events, and I admittedly don’t have the answers.

One life should not be considered any more priceless than another.  Should a mother be condemned for choosing her life over that of her unborn child?  Are these rare occurrences God’s teachable moments that are meant to remind us how valuable every human life is?  If I had to the answers to these questions I wouldn’t be an obscure pro-life blogger trying to save the world’s unborn.  And if the country I love wasn’t allowing over 1 million unborn children to be killed every year by Planned Parenthood and its colleagues, there would be no need for me to be an obscure pro-life blogger.

I plead guilty to being pro-life and vow to continue my crime spree in defense of life.  Should my advocacy for every child’s’ right to life subject me to scorn, ridicule, or worse I’m up for it.  In the end we are all held responsible for our actions and inaction, and I accept full responsibility for mine.

 Mrs. Clinton:

I’m baffled that as a Presidential candidate you refuse to make yourself available to the press and refuse to answer any questions.  One could come to the conclusion that you have something to hide.  I’m even more baffled by your unbridled support of the abortion industry and your opposition to the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. Mrs. Clinton, as a grandmother would you have had a problem if your daughter had decided to abort your granddaughter at the point that she could have felt the pain of being killed?

Mrs. Clinton, your good friends and supporters at Planned Parenthood and their colleagues in America’s abortion industry will kill over 1 million unborn children this year; with your consent and approval.  I have a real problem with someone who wants to be the President of the United States not having a real problem with millions of children being killed under the guise of women’s health care and a woman’s right to choose.  I’ve heard you say countless times that you think abortion should be safe, rare, and legal.  We both know that all you really care about is how much money you can get from the abortion lobby and how many votes your radically pro-abortion stance can get you.

In spite of all your ethical issues, lies, and illegal activities, the deal killer for me when it comes to the possibility of you becoming our President is your utter indifference to the slaughter that goes on daily in our nation’s abortion mills.  Mrs. Clinton, honor and integrity, admittedly foreign concepts to you, are of paramount importance for effective, principle based leadership.   I hate to break it to you, but honor, integrity, and adherence to time honored principles have no place in your vision of America.

After 2 terms under a man who will most likely go down in history as our worst President ever, America is in desperate need of a true leader; and you’re not it.  Do your country a favor and come clean on the server issue, the corruption within the Clinton Global Initiative, and your role in the Benghazi debacle; and then bow out gracefully.

Mrs. Clinton, hug your daughter and granddaughter today and take a moment to think about the thousands of unborn American children spending their last day alive, thanks to the policies you promote and support.  They will die horrible deaths tomorrow as you and your supporters fight to make it easier to kill even more of them.  You’ve done enough.  Go back to making boring speeches at a quarter million bucks a pop and fade into the sunset of irrelevance.

My letters to you are published on my pro-life blog at www.prolifepoppop.com.  Write back and I’ll publish it, unedited.  You could email me, but due to your current email issues, that might not be a good idea.

Attn:    President Barack Obama

 May 16, 2015

 Mr. President:

I believe in giving credit where credit is due.  Last night’s Delta Force operation that killed ISIS big shot Abu Sayyaf once again showed the terrorists of the world that going up against America’s finest is a no-win situation. Our military heroes are willing to do whatever it takes to protect our freedom and nothing we could ever do could repay them for the sacrifices they make daily. Since you authorized the mission in your role as Commander in Chief, you deserve the thanks and gratitude of a grateful nation.  I’ve called you out on numerous occasions over the past couple of years for your ineptitude and incompetence, but you got it right this time.

Now that you’ve done a good thing, why not continue the trend?  The House passed a slightly watered-down version of the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act this week.  While it’s far from perfect, it will save lives.  All you have to do is push it through the Senate, withdraw your threat to veto it, and let it become the law of the land. Countless thousands of children who would otherwise be killed will get their chance at life with the simple stroke of your pen.  Mr. President, on what moral basis could you possibly oppose a bill designed to save unborn children from agonizing deaths?

Sir, polling data and politics should not be considered when it comes to saving children’s’ lives.  There will be plenty of time later to play politics and push your leftist agenda, but this is just too important.  Last night you made the call, but our Delta Force heroes did the heavy lifting.  When it comes to getting the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act to your desk for your signature, it’s your turn to do some heavy lifting.  You wield enormous influence in your position, and a signal from you that you support this bill is all it will take to get it across the finish line.

Mr. President, you, me, and every one of the Delta Force heroes that made us proud last night were all into our 20th week of life at one point, just like the children this bill would protect.  We all made it to birth and beyond due to the kindness and love of others.  Now it’s our turn to pay it forward.  In this case you can do more than me and even the Delta Force.  There is no downside to standing up for life. Mr. President, stand up for America’s unborn children and protect their right to life in the greatest country on earth.

Looking For Answers

Where is our life energy before we are conceived?  Is it confined to our body while we are alive?  Where does it go after the death of our physical body?  Does the concept of time apply to the animating force we call life?  If our life force has no beginning and no end, why are we given such a short physical life to determine how we will spend forever?  I don’t have an answer to any of these questions, although I ponder them constantly.

While our lives, in the context of eternity, are short; our time alive is priceless.  We squander our time and our lives by killing our own, worrying about money, possessions, and countless other unimportant things.  We fail to see our fellow human beings as our brothers and sisters and the family that they truly are. We allow thousands of unborn children to be killed everyday; literally standing by as our family members are murdered.  We pursue our physical lives as if our total existence is confined to the time period between birth and our last breath.

I’m slowly seeing it differently.  I don’t know where I was before I became a physical being and I don’t know where I’ll go when the body I reside in dies.  I’ve come to realize that I’m more than a rather mediocre assembly of skin and bones.  So is every other human being, from the moment of conception until they leave their bodies.  We all received our gift of life for a reason.  No one will convince me that some of us were put here to kill millions of unborn children, or that industries dedicated to killing babies for money are serving humanity.  And someone please tell me why children go to bed hungry in America while our government sends over $500 million to Planned Parenthood every year.

As I get older I feel a sense of urgency to accomplish my goal of ending abortion.  While my time may be growing short, my resolve will never die.   That’s what life is about; pursuing worthy goals and doing what you know in your heart is right.  One of the great mysteries of life is that none of us knows when ours will end.  When my last day comes I hope to leave this world knowing that I saved some lives and changed some more.  I hope I will have made my children and grandchildren proud of what I accomplished and willing to carry on the work I began.

Life is short enough already.  The last thing we need to be doing is ending new lives just as they are beginning.  Help me end the practice of abortion and help make the world a better place.  If you choose not to help, I understand.  It’s hard to take a stand for something you believe in, even if you know it’s the right thing to do.  Find your own way to serve others and I’ll press on, unafraid and undeterred.

Just Enough to Get By

I watched Saturday night as Floyd Mayweather, an admittedly gifted fighter, did just enough to win his fight.  At fight’s end, after being declared the winner, he was greeted with a chorus of boos. Most in the crowd knew he had phoned it in and hadn’t given his best. He’ll receive close to $200 million for his mediocre effort and nearly everyone will hail him as the greatest of all time.  I disagree.  As a fight fan, I expect both combatants to be physically and mentally drained at the end, having left everything in the ring.  The same principle applies to our chosen paths in life.

Just like we expect gifted athletes to leave it all on the field, we should demand no less of ourselves.  Our chosen endeavors should be labors of love and jobs that we are willing to dedicate our lives to.  Our chosen endeavors may not be in sync with our present vocations, and many of us, including me, struggle daily to reconcile the fleeting security of a “real job” as juxtaposed against what we feel in our hearts we should be doing.  I know that my calling to end abortion is something that can’t be phoned in.  I know I can’t do just enough to get by and hope to achieve my goal of every new life being allowed to run its universally unique course.

I search daily for a sign that I should take a leap of faith and dedicate my life full-time to the task I know in my heart I am here to do. I wonder if the signs are all around me and I just don’t see them.  The winner of Saturday night’s fight, whether he admits it or not, knows that he is not fully expressing the unique gifts he has been given.  Deep inside he knows the fruits of his labors could be used to benefit his fellow man and that he could turn his life around and use his fame and resources to become a role model for millions of children.

Be it on a small scale, or massive worldwide change, we all have within us the ability to make the world a better place. There’s no room for excuses or half-hearted efforts when it comes to serving our fellow man.  I’m reminded on a daily basis that thousands of unborn children will be killed today and thousands more will die tomorrow if I don’t succeed in my efforts to save them.  I watch as Planned Parenthood’s Cecile Richards celebrates her abortion as “liberating”, and wonder how we got to this point.

In my business and personal life I’ve learned that you will never get the results you want unless you are willing to do the work that needs to be done.  I’ve also learned that the gift of life is fleeting and worth anything we may risk to protect those who can’t protect themselves.  I want the children of the world to know that I’ve got their back and that I will never do just enough to get by in my efforts to end abortion.

The Big Picture

At this stage of my life I’m looking at things in a different way than I did when I was younger.  I’ve been a fitness buff for many years, and at 61 I’m in pretty good shape.  I’m doing everything I can to delay the inevitable decline that I know is coming.  My motives are somewhat selfish.  I want to experience life with my children and grandchildren for as long as possible.  And I want to have the energy to fight the good fight as I work to end abortion.

It’s taken a large portion of my life to realize that life is not something you take for granted.  I’ve come to embrace all the positive thinking mumbo jumbo that actually makes sense when you think about it; “live for today, tomorrow isn’t guaranteed, and your next heartbeat could be your last, so don’t waste it.”  I’d like to think that with age comes wisdom, and I hope that I’m not the exception to the rule.  I’ve never really participated in organized religion, but I feel closer to God than I ever have.

I was called 2 years ago to dedicate my life to ending abortion.  It’s a calling I can feel in my heart and a calling that I know was from God.  While I’m not deserving of His trust, I’m committed to answering His call and standing on the side of life for the rest of mine.  The big picture, as I see it for me, is placing the lives of innocent children above my own. It’s working to help someone every day and seeing one life saved as worthy of a lifetime’s work.  My goal is to save millions of lives, and I take it personally every day that Planned Parenthood remains in business.

We’re all included in the big picture and we’re all here at this time and this place for a reason.  As much as many of us would like to live our lives, mind our own business, and leave the hard work of changing the world to others, it’s up to each of us to do our part.  Our gift of life comes with conditions.  In exchange for the miracle of life, we are honor bound to serve our fellow man and to hold every life in reverence.  When the human condition devolves to the point that we kill one another out of intolerance and allow industries to make billions of dollars for killing our children, we have some work to do.

The dysfunction and violence that permeates our society is a clear signal that something isn’t right.  We all can see it and most of us will try to get by without doing anything to oppose evil or to right the wrongs that our inaction perpetuates.  The big picture for me involves living a life focused on honor and integrity.  It’s centered around a personal code of ethical conduct that I hold myself to, and a commitment to help anyone in need at any time.  The big picture, as I see it, is my individual perception of reality, just as the billions of other human beings inhabiting the planet earth have their own.

The big picture for me won’t be complete until I live in a world that no longer kills its children.  Until then, I will work to change the hearts and minds of my fellow human beings, one at a time if necessary, to insure that every unborn child is allowed to fully experience the miracle of life..

Stand For Life

We all have a moral imperative to take action in the face of evil.  When we ignore the suffering and death of our fellow human beings and fail to protect those of us in harm’s way, we, ourselves become complicit in the crimes against humanity we claim to abhor.  Much of the world’s population is oppressed by ruthless dictators or threatened by terrorist thugs like ISIS.  So called civilized nations like America, the country I was lucky enough to be born into, allow their unborn children to be legally killed by an industry that promotes its deadly services from the moment of conception to birth.

The divinely endowed rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, so eloquently enumerated by America’s founders, apply to every human being, regardless of where in the world they may be or at what stage of development their universally unique life may have progressed to.  Each of us has the ability to fight oppression and to save lives.  While our individual capabilities may vary, our potential to make impactful change and to serve our fellow man is unlimited.  Those of us who can, have an obligation to do.  Those who see evil and look away will be judged accordingly.

I see the evil of abortion and I will not look away.  Over 20,000 innocent children will die needless deaths in America this week and 20,000 more will die next week unless a quantum change in attitudes and behavior instantly occurs.  I acknowledge that these changes would require a miracle, but I still believe in miracles.  As human beings, we are entrusted with the most coveted of all the miracles of the universe; life.  We’ve done a pretty bad job of protecting life and insuring that the most basic and most important of all God’s gifts is held in reverence.  Evil organizations like Planned Parenthood are allowed to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent children every year in the country representing the world’s last best hope.

Evil is opportunistic, and thrives where there is ignorance and apathy. Just like a brilliant light can instantly end the darkest night, the simple but powerful act of welcoming every new life into the world will end the practice of abortion forever.  The challenge is, how do we get there?  We look inside and marvel at the gift of life we were given.  We contemplate our beating hearts and realize that the animating life force behind every beat is not from this world.  We appreciate that we are universally unique human beings and that every other human being, from the moment of conception, is one of a kind and deserving of the gift of life.

When we stop killing our fellow human beings there is no limit to what we can do together.  When standing on the side of life we must be willing to give everything, even our life, to serve our fellow man.  The greatest man to ever walk the earth did just that.  He told us that we can do all the things He did, and greater things still.  I take Him at His word and pledge to stand up for life, no matter what.

 

A Typical Day

My day today was filled with meetings, crisis resolution, and putting together a bid package worth millions of dollars. As busy as I was, the thought that thousands of innocent children were being killed by America’s abortion industry while I worked, never left my mind.  That’s my life these days.  No matter what I’m doing or where I happen to be, the mission that I’ve committed the rest of my life to, ending abortion, is always on my mind.  When a typical day at Planned Parenthood is an empty parking lot and no more babies entering a clinic alive and leaving dead, my mission will be complete.

I have a stressful job and some days I would rather do just about anything other than what I do for a living.  On those days I think about the innocent children all over the world, beginning their day, not knowing that they will be killed; and the day ahead of me doesn’t appear so daunting.  The problems we all face on a daily basis pale in comparison to an innocent child’s last minutes in an abortion clinic.  While most of our problems are self inflicted, the fate of thousands of unborn children every day in America is decided by others.

I can only imagine a typical day at a Planned Parenthood clinic.  Their employees kiss their children goodbye, put in a long day of killing other peoples’ children, and then go home to their own.  I have to think that the workers at a place like Planned Parenthood lose a little bit of their soul every day.  And I absolutely believe that when you take the gift of life from an innocent human being you give up a portion of your own.

From my perspective, spending our days treating people right and respecting every unborn child’s right to life is much easier than spending  our limited time killing our fellow human beings.  There’s enough violence and mayhem in the world. The last thing we need are organizations dedicated to killing children for money.  If a typical day is meant to be normal and uneventful, count me out.  My goal is to change the world and change the minds of those believing that killing an unborn child is a simple matter of choice.  If the pursuit of my goal makes anyone uncomfortable, so be it; sue me.

At this point in my life, my typical day is hectic and oft times chaotic.  In the midst of the chaos I always know that the day I’ll be able to dedicate my efforts full-time in defense of life is moving ever closer.  My hope is that by the time I am able to work full-time to end abortion, my efforts and those of millions of other like-minded individuals will have already ended it.

A typical day for every unborn child should end with it being alive and healthy.  Until that time comes, I’ll continue to speak out for the most vulnerable among us; those without a voice.
