  Senator Reid:

Over the course of the past year I’ve written to you several times, urging you to allow the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act to be voted upon in the Senate.  My letters, predictably, have gone unanswered and you have ignored pleas from your colleagues to allow a vote on this life-saving piece of legislation. Your motives have been clear; protect the President at all costs from having to veto a bill designed to save the lives of innocent children.

Senator, as a result of yesterday’s mandate against the policies you support, you’ll be out of a job in less than 2 months.  Why not leave on a high note by standing up for America’s unborn children?  Sir, as I’m sure you know, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act would ban abortions of children 20 weeks old or older since they can feel the pain of being systematically dismembered as they are being killed.  About 20,000 children are killed in this manner every year in America.  While 20,000 is a relatively small percentage of the more than 1 million unborn children killed every year by America’s abortion industry, every single child is priceless.

Senator Reid, the Senate, under your leadership, has been dubbed the place where bills go to die.  It should not be the place where the lives of innocent children are used as political pawns.  The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act will surely be brought up for a vote by your successor.  It will most assuredly be vetoed by the President and the men and women of both Chambers of Congress will be forced to look inward and to take a public stand for or against life in the override effort.  Delaying this exercise will only insure that more innocent children will die a needless, agonizing death.

Sir, what is the downside of taking action to save innocent lives?  Why should the greatest country on earth allow its unborn children to be killed by the millions?  Senator, the House passed the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act in June of 2013.  During the interim, while you stonewalled every attempt to bring it up for a vote in the Senate, thousands of innocent children have been slaughtered.

Senator, if I have to beg, I will.  Sir, I beg you to allow the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act to be brought up for a vote.  Your legacy as the Senate Majority Leader is in your hands.  You can be remembered as a man who got nothing done or the Leader who finally stood up for America’s children.

Senator Reid:

I know you have a lot on your plate right now, what with the unmitigated disaster of ObamaCare, the reality that it will probably cost you the Senate next year, and the mass defections of your panicked Democrat Senators.  Even though you have a lot going on right now, nothing is more important than bringing the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act to the floor for a vote; nothing except insuring that it passes, and then over-riding President Obama’s veto.

Senator Reid, as I’ve stated in my previous letters, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act will save at least 15,000 unborn children from a torturously painful death every year.  Sir, a few simple votes is all it will take, and thousands of unborn children get to live.  You can debate the bill before you vote, but what logical argument could you possibly have for allowing the slaughter of thousands of babies who can feel the pain of being killed?

The 2014 and 2016 elections aren’t looking good for your party the way things stand today.  You’ve been caught selling the American people a bill of goods with ObamaCare and you can’t blame this one on the Republicans.  They didn’t cast a single vote for ObamaCare and they passed the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act through the House, so now it’s your turn.  Sir, while you are deciding whether or not to allow a vote on this bill, remember that every 26 seconds another baby is aborted in America.  Every day you delay a vote on this bill, dozens of late-term babies will be ripped apart while they are being killed in America’s abortion mills.

Senator, if you and your fellow Democrats continue to carry the President’s water on the issue of abortion, you risk the fate of drowning under the weight of his utter incompetence.  Sir, you know it’s wrong to kill an innocent human being.  You know that the Right to life applies to unborn, living human beings.  And you know that every unborn child deserves to be born, just like you and I.

Senator Reid, at the risk of repeating myself, no logical argument can be made to allow pain-capable children to be killed under cover of the law.  The greatest country on earth should not be killing over a million of its unborn children every year; and allowing pain-capable babies to be ripped from their mothers’ wombs is an abomination.  Senator Reid, imagine the next baby in line to be killed at your local Planned Parenthood clinic is your grandchild.  What would you do?  The fate of thousands of unborn American children lies in your hands.  What will you do?
