Remember the push to "Stand With Planned Parenthood?" A US senator from Missouri, Roy Blunt, has been responding to those who sent him messages via this organizing tool. What does he say? Nothing less than the characteristically on-target and relevant discourse we've come to expect from our anti-choice politicians.
Dear [name redacted]:
Thank you for contacting me about funding for Planned Parenthood.
I am deeply opposed to the practice of abortion and do not support federal funding for any organization that performs or promotes abortions, which includes Planned Parenthood. An unborn child is a living human being and abortion ends the life of that child. Throughout my time in the House I worked hard to protect the lives of the unborn.
In 2004, I led the effort to enact the bipartisan Laci and Conner's Law, which treats a crime against an unborn child as a separate offense in criminal cases. This law addressed the murder case in California in which Laci Peterson and her unborn son, Conner, were murdered. I am proud to have the highest possible pro-life voting record according to National Right to Life, and, as I begin my time in the Senate, I will continue to support efforts to make adoption more attractive for parents and prohibit the use of taxpayer dollars to pay for abortion.
Again, thank you for contacting me. I look forward to continuing our conversation on Facebook (www.facebook.com/senatorblunt) and Twitter (www.twitter.com/royblunt) about the important issues facing Missouri and the country. I also encourage you to visit my website (www.blunt.senate.gov) to learn more about where I stand on the issues and sign-up for my e-newsletter.
Sincere Regards,
Roy Blunt
United States Senator
With responses like this maybe it's better to receive no word at all?
