Dear editor;
I am willing to match my life history against Hamza Shaban and Susan Estrich’s columns appearing in the Washington Post. The battle for abortion and Abortion and the importance of one vote were in the headlines.
I would offer to meet with those paid cheaps who lack ability and moral integrity to fight for the lives of innocent boys and girls. Let’s meet face to face. I have requested such meetings over decades with dozens of others, but I realized I was dealing with dead-persons- walking types, who were speechless when it came to morality.
One fact I can present to the readers is, those who lobby for abortion rights are cowards, which must derive from their lack of knowledge on the conception and formation of human beings.
For several years I volunteered with a special group operating out of Loyola hospital to provide help for pregnant mothers in needs. It may still be operating. I have moved on. I do know that there are agencies operating in Aurora waiting for such troubled calls with help for them. I did once house an expectant mother. I worked with Catholic Charities to provide for her future.
My requests to communicate with anti-life persons hit dead ends, Being cowards are their virtues.
Politically, I did a lot of lobbying in Springfield. What I discovered was the ignorance of the legislators on the life issue. The facts being circulated all over the country are our hope to educate life issues, especially to expectant mothers seeking support and also to the fathers of their unborn child. It is there.
There are literally a thousand of couples seeking to adopt babies. I have two adopted boys. After my husbands death I went into foster care and put in 22 years. No regrets. These are the stories the newspapers should be reporting on, positive actions, not the killing of unborn boys and girls. Shame on them.
Once I took an unwed mother into my home to help her through her pregnancy. I received four letters from couples looking to adopt this coming child, but Catholic Charities arranged for the delivery and adoption. All went well.
The response to my letter I hope will come from an anti-life care giver who can show me up. And, of course, I would be glad to meet with her. She needs confession.
