Yet Another Open Letter to Rick Santorum
TO: Rick Santorum (R - Asshole)
I just heard your latest diatribe on CNN about how abortion is morally wrong because it is the taking of a human life.
Given the policies of your party, could you please explain how it is morally right to take food away from living children by gutting programs like SNAP, or refusing them nutritious school lunches if they can’t afford to pay for them?
Could you please explain how your party’s unending efforts to overturn Obamacare, which would leave millions of children and their families without healthcare coverage, is morally right?
Could you please explain how your “pResident” and your party are demonstrating their concern for children by taking them away from their parents at the border, locking them in cages, and then ‘losing them’?
Could you please explain why your party tries to shut down sex education in schools and access to affordable birth control, when both of those things have been proven effective in reducing the number of unwanted pregnancies that often lead to having an abortion?
Could you please explain why your party refuses to legislate and enforce reasonable gun control laws that would protect our children in their own classrooms?
It’s always the same old song from people of your ilk: Gin-up your ‘base’ by declaring your love of the ‘unborn child’ – and then gin them up further by promising to cut funding for programs that children directly benefit from because they’re “draining the system” of money that they don’t deserve.
Your arrogance in appointing yourself the arbiter of what is morally wrong or right is only surpassed by your blatant hypocrisy. As long as the “pResident” and the party you support are willing to allow traumatized children to be jailed at the border, to be slowly starved by cuts to the programs that feed them, to be denied affordable healthcare that treats them when they are sick, and to leave them unprotected from weapons that cut them down in their schoolrooms, you are in no position to claim any moral highroad you pretend to represent.
I understand you are a self-proclaimed devout Catholic. I would strongly suggest that you examine your conscience, confess your sins against the children you allegedly care about, and recite a sincere Act of Contrition.
Maybe your priest will absolve you – but I doubt that your God will. In Catholicism, forgiveness of your sins is always dependent on your solemn promise to go and sin no more. And as long as you keep catapulting the Republican propaganda that your “pResident” and your party care about children, you continue to sin.
If you truly believed in the sanctity of life, you would believe that the already-born are as deserving of your protection as the not-yet-born. But you obviously don’t – because stirring-up the “base” by characterizing abortion as murder is seen as a vote-getter, while feeding, housing, and caring for the children already here is invariably characterized as wasting the taxpayers’ money on “free stuff” for the offspring of those who gave birth to children they couldn’t afford to raise.
If I were a priest and you walked into my confessional, your penance would be so lengthy that between reciting twenty rosaries per day, doing the Stations of the Cross once a week, and daily novenas to at least a dozen different saints, you wouldn’t have enough time to open your lying, hypocritical mouth.
Yours in Christ (who I, as a Jew, seem to know a lot better than you do),

of my husband's mother who died when he was 12, and her interest in him and his siblings was genuine. And while she was extreme in her black and white view of abortion, she was actually pretty tolerant and accepting in other areas. So there's that. 
They love them in the womb but hate them in the room..............
