An Open Email to Congressman Earl Blumenauer
Congressman Blumenauer,
I have contacted you several times in the past regarding the attempt to reform health care that is currently being considered in the US Congress. I urge you once again to vote NO on the bill that has been presented for consideration through the process of reconciliation.
You must vote NO because this bill does not respect the conscience of a majority of Americans on the question of abortion, including me. I have received canned responses from your staff before on this issue, and I will not accept another. You have been wrong on the question of abortion, and this is your chance to correct your position. Abortion is murder of the innocent, plain and simple. If this health care bill passes, it will be state-sponsored murder, and that is unacceptable.
The only response I expect from you is a NO vote on health care if the House leadership attempts to pass this bill through reconciliation. That is the only acceptable response you can send.
