ProLife and Proud of it

I have been ProLife ever since I found out what the word "abortion" meant. I have handed out phamphlets and written to my congressmen and presidents. Around 1995 or 1996 when the Freedom of Choice Act was just being proposed, I gave out flyers and did everything I could to defeat it. Thankfully it was defeated.

Now it is one of President Obama's stated goals to pass this once-defeated bill. It will overturn virtually every single bill in every state which puts limits on obtaining abortions. The ban on Partial Birth Abortions will also be overturned.

I know its not much, but I just received an email about a movement to mail thousands or millions of red envelopes to Pres. Obama, to show our outrage over his plans to pass the Freedom of Choice Act. If you are interested, read the email below.




All you people who are ProLife. Here is something we can do on March 31 to make our voices heard.

Get a red envelope. You can buy them at Kinkos - or at party supply stores.

On the front - address it to:

President Barack Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington , D.C. 20500

On the back - write the following message: This envelope represents one child who died because of an abortion. It is empty because - the life that was taken is now unable to be a part of our world.

We will mail the envelopes on March 31st, 2009.

Forward this event to every one of your friends who you think would send one too. I wish we could send 50 million red envelopes - one for every child who died [in the U..S. ] before having a chance to live.

It may seem that those who believe abortion is wrong are in a minority. It may seem like we have no voice and it is shameful to even bring it up. Let us show our President and the world that the voices of those of us who do not believe abortion is acceptable are not silent and must be heard.

Barack Obama spoke at a Planned Parenthood Action Fund event, uttering the now infamous line, "Well, the first thing I would do as president is - is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. [Applause.] That is the first thing that I would do."

An empty red envelope will send a message to President Barack Obama that there is moral outrage in this country over this issue [The Freedom of Choice Act, which will essentially undo every law currently in place to limit abortion in the U.S. .. (i.e., parental consent laws, parental notification, waiting periods, prohibition of transporting a minor girl across state lines to obtain an abortion, etc.)]. It is a quiet - but clear - message of protest.

ALL life is precious and Sacred. I am getting my red envelopes ready. How about you?
