Letter to the Editor - Appalled by Tester's vote

An open letter to Sen. Tester:

I am appalled and deeply disappointed to learn of your vote against a bill that would provide life-giving care to survivors of abortion. If one were to consider the reality of a newborn left to die — regardless how “comfortable” s/he is — how would it be possible to sleep at night? Democrats claim to be the voice of “the voiceless, the helpless, the vulnerable’” a vote such as yours makes that claim tragically laughable.

I am only too aware of Democrats’ determination to allow women to make their own “health care ‘choices,’” but let’s not confuse the one with the other. This proposed law did not prevent women from aborting their children; to justify one’s vote from that perspective is just an attempt at smoke and mirrors.

America has been on a slippery slope for decades now and is only gaining speed. May God have mercy on us.
