Letter
to the Editor,
Isn’t
it ironic?
Democrat
Senator Kamala Harris and presidential candidate from California, the state
which has the largest number fleeing and coming to Texas; don’t they realize its
leftist-leaning ideologies that created the reasons they are moving to Texas which
fosters a strong and steady working and family-friendly environment. Isn’t it
ironic?
Senator
Harris condemned the policy of separating children from their parents who are apprehended
illegally crossing the border saying, “The trauma these children experience
will live on for decades to come. Ripping babies away from their parents to put
them in cages is inhumane.”
She
was dramatically speaking about “ripping babies” away from their parents. Yet,
abortion, which she proudly champions, is literally and inhumanely “ripping
babies” inside their mother’s womb, putting them in jars to sell their body
parts. Isn’t it ironic?
If
you’ve ever left a crying toddler with a babysitter or taken a young child to
school and they start crying, it appears to be a traumatic experience, but as
most will attest, there are no long-term adverse effects. These crying children
will live on, whereas those aborted will never get to live. Isn’t it ironic?
As
President Trump so rightly stated in his State of the Union message: “There
could be no greater contrast to the beautiful image of a mother holding her
infant child than the chilling displays our nation saw in recent days.
Lawmakers in New York cheered with delight upon the passage of legislation that
would allow a baby to be ripped from the mother’s womb moments before birth.
These are living, feeling, beautiful, babies who will never get the chance to
share their love and dreams with the world. I am asking Congress to pass legislation
to prohibit the abortion of children who can feel pain in the mother’s
womb. Let us reaffirm a fundamental truth: all children, born and unborn,
are made in the holy image of God.”
Senator
Harris criticizes temporary child separation, whereas President Trump condemns abortion,
the permanent and irreversible separation of babies from their parents.
