An Open Letter to Virginia Senators and Delegates Regarding Abortion

January 26, 2006

Dear Virginia State Senators and Delegates,

I am writing this letter to you with a heavy heart.

We as a people have the responsibility and solemn obligation to do all within our power to protect innocent life and especially the life of children. We have failed to that end. Daily, over 4,000 babies are killed before birth in our Nation and it is appalling. Where is the compassion and common sense that we pride ourselves in having? The power is in your hands to protect innocent human life in this State. The sad reality however is that many of those who represent the people of this State will neglect this duty.

Political games and viewpoints mean nothing to those who are being denied life. The issue isn’t whether someone should come into existence but rather the approval of the act of killing that existing individual.

As adults and beings with a conscience, we know that killing innocent people is morally repugnant. Why then do the babies continue to be killed?

Will you act as if children are truly valuable as they are, and do what a moral and compassionate person should do? Will you continue with the politics of staying in office or will you be a true Statesman?

The office you hold is powerful one. You have the power of life and death in your control. How many more children will die as we pretend to be an upright people?

Only you can decide to act properly and justly. I only hope that you rise to that level.

Sincerely,

Dennis E. Green
