One small action...

I got this in an e-mail, and thought it was important enough to post here. This is a really important issue to my family, as well as to the entire adoption community. Obviously abortion greatly affects the future of adoption. It is my belief that in pregnancy, IN MOST CASES, the "freedom to choose" has already been exercised, and the choice is one that resulted in conception. Abortion serves only to take away someone else's right to choose when the parents are unhappy with the consequence that their original choice created. Anyway, I thought that this sounded like a good message, and I thought I would share it...

To Take Place On March 31st, 2009
Get a red envelope, you can find them at Kinkos, or party supply stores. On the front write:
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. 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. Please read more about The Freedom of Choice Act here:http://www.lifenews.com/nat4359.html
