My friend John Lally is a dedicated Democrat. And he’s also a member of Democrats for Life of America. Here’s his fax letter to Clinton and Schumer regarding their vote denying funding to pregnant poor women and their unborn children (The vote was 49-50!). You’ll get the gist from the fax, and a link for more info is underneath.
August 2, 2007
Dear Senator,
We were very disappointed to learn that – unlike Senators Kennedy, Kerry, Casey, Nelson, and Landrieu – you voted against the Allard amendment to the SCHIP bill on Thursday night that would have helped poor pregnant women and their unborn children obtain prenatal care – you voted against restoring a program that allows states to provide help for pregnant women in difficult financial circumstances.
This makes us seriously question your sincerity when you and other Democrats talk about favoring common ground measures that help to make abortion rare. We’ve been trying to convince our formerly Democratic friends and relatives that the common ground approach was the way to go legislatively regarding abortion, but you’ve seriously set that effort back with this vote that refuses aid to poor pregnant women.
Sincerely,
Dr. and Mrs. John J. Lally
