Dear Candidate

As the Presidential candidates come and go, here in NH. Some claim to be pro-life, pro-liberty candidates, but sadly there are others, even on the Republican ticket, are not.

Here are my thoughts for candidates running for any office.

Dear Political Candidate,

My name is Darlene. We have not met.  I’ve been told that you are not ProLife.  You are listed as a Republican. The Republican Platform is pro-life. So, this is the first contradiction of your positions.

ProLife is a modern term that usually means anti-abortion to most people.  It means a great deal more than that to me.

I would venture to say that you are ProLife when it comes to your friends and family members.  It is very unlikely that you would be willing for someone to “make a choice” to pull your nephew’s arms and legs off and crush his skull or to have digoxin injected into your co-workers heart, causing a heart attack so that she would die within a few hours from the excruciating pain and oxygen deprivation. These are two common abortion procedures.

I’m pretty sure you are a person that would not want a two-year old to be placed into a vat of poison that would burn her skin and mucous membranes causing a slow, painful death that would take anywhere from an hour to 3 days. This is another abortion procedure that is legal in most states up to the moment of birth.

So, what age would it be appropriate to take such actions? Or is it that you don’t personally have a connection to the people to whom these atrocities are being committed?

Should only those who are perfect and beautiful, productive and smart be provided protection under the law?  Who determines this criteria?

Wouldn’t that exclude a huge swath of people? What about your grandmother or your great aunt?  When they are no longer providing a service to humanity, should they no longer be protected from imposed death?  What if they were ill or disabled?

As a candidate for public office, you are agreeing to take on enormous responsibilities.  If elected, you will have great influence.  You will have the ability to enact laws that either protect innocent life or protect those who would murder the most vulnerable of our society.

If only the person contracted to kill another can see the person being killed, does that make it ok?  Only the abortion facility staff ever see their victims. So, is that what makes it ok to kill the most vulnerable of our society?

Maybe it is ok to kill older people or the disabled, if we use their remains to power electric plants. Or in some other way, make a person deemed useless useful by taking their body parts after we kill them and using the for research or mulch.
If you believe that people should be protected from imposed death, then you are ProLife.  I hope you will think about the scenarios depicted herein.  This happens every single day. Thousands are intentionally killed in our country every day.

I would be very happy to meet with you or talk at any time about how you might be able to protect people from murder, so that we do not see a future like that of Nazi Germany. Savethe1 speaker, Rebecca Kiessling, helps legislators discuss these issues logically and thoughtfully.

You have a chance to be a tower of hope in a time of great importance.  Will you be lifted up above the base to protect people?

Liberty and justice should be for all. There is no liberty without life. There is no justice, if people can make money by killing innocent people. There is a real need for both. America has been through a lot as a nation. She has done great good and great wrongs. We desperately need leaders who will seek the Declaration’s admonition of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness for all people, born and preborn, elderly and infirm, rich and poor. Only by equal protection under the law, only by employing justice, can America regain her honor.

What would you say in response to this open letter?
