Dear President Obama,
I have read that one of your first acts as president is to use taxpayer money to fund abortions all over the world. This practice was banned by your Republican counterparts, but you have reversed that ban with a wave of an executive order.
You do this I am sure because you believe you are furthering the rights of women everywhere. For many years, Pro-Choice proponents have insisted that the woman has the right to control her own body, and while a baby is within her womb, it is neither human nor alive, and is only a part of her biology. As long as the fetus is within her, totally dependent, it cannot be an independent person, but only a piece of tissue.
But if this is so, the lump of cells, on leaving the womb, has a startling metamorphosis! It goes from an impersonal piece of tissue to a full-fledged human simply by leaving the birth canal! From mere biology to (BAM!) a person with a soul! This type of reasoning is called “magic thinking”, the idea that something can become something totally different suddenly by changing residence.
Obviously, something does not become something completely different without a Deus Ex Machina-type movement of heaven and earth. It is curious to note that while many Pro-Choice proponents make fun of Christians for believing in miracles, they themselves believe in a very strange magic indeed.
As reasonable people, we know that “magic thinking” is silly. Thus, abortion is the killing of human life. The funding of abortions all over the world is the funding of murder all over the world.
Liberals have accused Mr. Bush of being an evil man, bent on the destruction of thousands of people in the Middle East. What must we think of this policy that will lead to the destruction of millions across the globe?
I am ashamed to know my country condones this, and lends its taxes to support such a practice.
Sincerely,
A humble crusader
