On 3/20/10, I went to Bart Stupak’s website and angrily sent the following email, which I admit could’ve been better written:
“So rather than allow a woman to abort an unwanted fetus, you prefer to see an unwanted baby born addicted and then neglected and abused? How does that make any sense at all?
Nobody likes abortion, but it must remain an option. I don't see right-wing control freaks stepping up and adopting those at-risk babies from the mothers who didn't want them to begin with and don't love them once they're born. How many have you brought home?
How many people, who are already alive and suffering, will die if you and others like you defeat health care reform? And how is that not on your conscience? Do you think that sits well with your God? How dare you sentence so many people to suffering and premature death?
I'm not in your district, thank God. But I'll do everything I can to help those who will prevent you from being re-elected. You will pay for deciding when poor people should die."
