I was saddened and dismayed to read a letter to the editor “Abortion bill is mislabeled,” (Our Readers’ Views, May 7, The Columbian), promoting the culture of death in my hometown newspaper. Protecting a human baby after she or he is born alive is not “dangerous” nor “extreme.” Allowing a baby to die by withholding appropriate medical care after she or he is born alive is infanticide.
Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Battle Ground, does represent my values and I am a constituent in Southwest Washington. I thank her for her work in promoting a culture of life and for supporting S. 311 Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. Let us protect the most vulnerable lives among us, the unborn and now it seems the just-born.
