Dear Representative (Last Name):

Subject: Thank You for Speaking Up for the Unborn

Thank you for your courageous words on July 9, 2008, in the name of the unborn. It's a crime that taxpayers are forced to subsidize the abortion industry, particularly when it is against personal morals and beliefs. I truly appreciate your voice in the fight for Life.

Earmarks and other caveats sneak abortion funding into bills and most Americans don't even know that their money is being used in this way. Thank you for standing up for me and for other pro-life Americans, and especially for the most vulnerable of persons -- the unborn.

I greatly admire your leadership on this issue and urge you to keep fighting the good fight.

Sincerely,

John Doe    Back to menu

Thank You for Speaking Out Against Abortion Funds

Representatives Chris Smith and Michele Bachmann planned a Special Order on the floor of the House July 9, 2008. They and other pro-life members of Congress, such as Representative Jean Schmidt, called on our government to stop taxpayer-funded abortions. Through earmarks and other caveats, the American people are forced to pay taxes that help organizations like Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers. Describing Planned Parenthood, Representative Bachmann spoke eloquently, saying, "They are big business. They are the Walmart of big abortion. They are the big-box retailer ... It is time to stop the public financing of Planned Parenthood: it is the right thing to do." Stopping their funding is right, and we should thank those in Congress who work to oppose funding abortion.    Back to menu
