Why Is It Wrong to Pretend to Kill the Guilty, but Right to Actually Kill the Innocent? An Open Letter to President Obama About the Least of These

Dear President Obama:

First, allow me to thank you for your leadership and congratulate you on your historical achievement.

I know from listening to your speeches and reading your biography that you are deeply committed to caring for the "the least of these." You said at the Saddleback debate that the abortion question was "above your pay grade." May I suggest that is no longer the case. If someone at your pay grade can't settle this justly, who can?

I am asking you to consider how this issue is parallel to slavery. The proponents of that horror justified the practice by doing two things: denying the humanity of the victims, and asserting a bogus "right." If you believe there is no right to do wrong, you must condemn this holocaust. There is no right to chose slaughtering and discarding fetuses any more that there is a right to own and enslave others.

I am writing you to humbly ask you to oppose the horror of abortion. I have just heard the news that you have moved to use our tax money to fund this holocaust worldwide, as well as to support stem-cell research.

The argument against abortion is simple: it is heinously wrong. We have heard much about how water boarding is wrong. Fair enough. But how is it wrong to pretend to kill the guilty, such as the mastermind of 9-11, but right to actually kill innocents ? Explain this to me. And how is this caring for "the least of these"?

May I respectfully remind you that every leader who has initiated, supported or acquiesced to this holocaust will one day have to give an account to the sovereign God who created these 40 million little ones?

I respectfully beg you in the name of the Lord to take a stand against this horror, not to fund it and expand it.

Sincerely and Respectfully Offered,
