To the editor:

Sunday night, watching and listening to Congress debate then vote to pass the health care bill, lack of decorum and anger showed themselves. Then one representative shouted, “Baby killer!”

I wondered at the dichotomy, for some of these baby lovers voted for George W. Bush’s unnecessary war sending grown-up babies to fight and perhaps die (over 4,000 did just that) to a postage-stamp-sized Middle East nation (also oil-rich) after arm-bending and lies to Congress to sell his invasive war. A grandson volunteered to go to Iraq, to my chagrin, searching there for IED’s, for crying out loud.

And thousands of American soldiers are still in Iraq, in danger. Not only American lives, but Iraqi lives of men, women, children and infants lost as a result of this divisive and political war. The staggering cost in human life, material, money continues. So how precious is life before birth and thereafter? War is killing!

So hold it, abortionists. Let the unborn live, grow up, to die on foreign soil, is it? You pro-lifers out there, (I’m one of them), do get your heads on straight before your Congressman yells “Baby killer” while in session but still thinks invading another small country is A-OK, forgetting the insanity of Hitler and his creation of WWII with many millions killed. Think about it.

A health insurance program was initiated, historic, perhaps not yet perfect but so badly needed in this land of so-called plenty.
