Senator Brooks seems quite concerned about babies, but only if they haven’t been born yet. I wrote the following letter to her:
Dear Senator Brooks:
In an article written by Marc Levy in the Lehighton Times News, you were quoted as saying that you were disappointed that Pennsylvania “will be unable to protect so many babies in the future, who will never know the joy of living.”
First of all, a child unwanted by its mother, a child born already addicted to drugs, a child born with horrible birth defects, a child born with a fatal condition that will live for a few days or hours will not experience the “joy of living.”
Secondly, it would amazing if the Republicans in both the U.S. Congress and the Pennsylvania legislature expressed the same concern for children already born as they do for “the unborn.” Their concern seems to be only from conception to birth. Then the kids are no longer important.
I know, I know. It was a waste of time. Still it felt good when I dropped it into the mail box.
