Dear Senator Klobuchar:

Subject: Please Support the Reinstatement of the Mexico City Policy (H.R. 708)

I am writing to urge you to support Representatives Chris Smith and James Sensenbrenner's bill to restore the Mexico City Policy, which President Obama rescinded on January 23, 2009.

Abortion is a crime against humanity, so even if we had no national debt and had extra money that we didn't know what to do with, I'd believe that it's wrong to fund abortions or abortion providers at home or overseas.

But a majority of Americans agree that our hard-earned tax dollars should not go to fund abortions, particularly abortions in other countries. In these tough economic times it is hard to see how the funding of abortion in other countries will help to stimulate our own economy.

I ask you to join Representatives Smith and Sensenbrenner in supporting the Mexico City Policy.

Thank you for your consideration of my position on this important issue.

I would appreciate a response to my letter.

Sincerely,

[Signature]
Jane Doe
