Here is my letter to the Tallahassee Democrat. It had to be under 200 words, so I had to focus on one issue. Praying the Lord will us all our words to prick consciences.
If you have not watched the videos put out by the Center for Medical Progress, revealing what is happening inside Planned Parenthood, you ought to consider it your civic duty to do so. The main reason is not to see if Planned Parenthood is doing something illegal (though that is under investigation).
The reason you must watch the videos (or at least be informed about them) is that they prove that these are human beings. There are arms, hands, fingers, legs, eyes, spinal cords, and even the ability to announce "It's a boy." Planned Parenthood says that the videos have been edited, however, the most damning evidence has not, indeed cannot, be explained away- human body parts. If there are human body parts then these are human beings. Children are being slaughtered.
We may choose to look away (as mainstream media is doing – focusing on panda cubs etc.), but we can never again say, “We did not know.” The "my body, my choice" argument does not work very well when we are talking about someone else's body and organs. Please, don’t look away.
