Hey everyone, so my mom gets to work with LDS Family Services in AZ and she gets to work with the group that works with and supports mothers who are putting thier baby up for adoption. Anyways, because she gets to do this she knows about the current abortion laws and how Pres Obama wants to change them. Pres Obama wants to change the law so there is almost no rules or regulations that would stop an abortion and anyone, anywhere would be able to get one. So someone thought of this idea to send empty red envelopes to the white house that represent an abortion. I wanted to post this email that is going around so those of you who would like to participate can.
"This "Freedom of Choice Act" that Obama promises to sign will over rule all the pro-life laws that have already been passed, such as: 1. Young girls needing parent permission, 2. Restricted Government funding and 3. informed consent, which makes sure the women or girl understands the future consequences, and all the facts. With these laws currently in place, research has shown that 125, 000 lives were saved last year. We who are pro-life, need to make our voices heard.
The Red Envelopes!!!!!!!!!!
What:
Get red envelopes or postcards and mail them on March 31st to the White
House Address Below.
When:
March 31st, 2009
Get a red envelope. You can buy them at most party supply stores.
On the front, address it to
President Barack Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington , D.C. 20500
On the back, write the following message.
This envelope represents one child who died because of an abortion.
It is empty because the life that was taken is now unable to be a part of
our world.
We will mail the envelopes out March 31st, 2009.
Put it in the mail, and send it. Then forward this event to every one of
your friends who you think would send one too. I wish we could send 50
million red envelopes, one for every child who died [in the U.S.] before
having a chance to live.
It may seem that those who believe abortion is wrong are in a minority. It
may seem like we have no voice and it's shameful to even bring it up. Let us
show our President and the world that the voices of those of us who do not
believe abortion is acceptable are not silent and must be heard.
Together we can change the heart of The President and save the lives of
millions of children.
Thank you.
Barack Obama spoke at a Planned Parenthood Action Fund event, uttering the
now infamous line, "Well, the first thing I'd do as president is, is sign
the Freedom of Choice Act. [Applause.] That's the first thing that I'd do."
An empty red envelope will send a message to President Barack Obama that
there is moral outrage in this country over this issue [The Freedom of
Choice Act, which will essentially "undo" every law currently in place to
limit abortion in the U.S. (i.e., parental consent laws, parental
notification, waiting periods, prohibition of transporting a minor girl
across state lines to obtain an abortion, etc.)]. It will be quiet, but
clear.
