Will Pres. Bush Just Sit Back and "Watch the Courts Make Their Decisions?"
The following was sent via email to President Bush:
Dear President Bush,
A short time ago you were quoted as saying:
"This is an extra sad case, and I believe in a case such as this, the legislative branch, the executive branch ought to err on the side of life, which we have. And now we'll watch the courts make their decisions.”
Sir, with all due respect, is that all you can do? Sign a bill? Are you going to simply sit back and watch the courts make their decisions, or rather not decide, in favor of Mrs. Schiavo’s continuing to live? We know from history that once this line is crossed, it will be extremely difficult if not impossible to reverse its devastating effects -- not to mention, of course, the irreversible death of Mrs. Schiavo. Either all human life is sacred, or it is all vulnerable to whatever political wind blows at the moment.
When the southern states attempted to violate the Constitutional rights of black students in the 1960’s, presidents stepped forward and exercised their executive powers. They sent in federal troops to ensure the rights of those minorities were protected. The right to life is even more fundamental than the right to a racially desegregated public education.
I beg you to take action. Do not listen to your political advisors who urge caution. This is a clear case of the law of man standing in direct opposition to the law of God. Your duty as a Christian is clear – stand for God’s law, no matter what the consequences.
Our prayers are with you in this difficult and trying hour for our God-given freedoms and for our country.
Sincerely,
Dear President Bush,
