To the editor:

The picture of Jimmy Kimmel’s new born son, as shown on TV news reports, speaks volumes. Of course, any new born baby with a heart defect or any other life threatening condition would deserve immediate attention.

When the TV news channels showed the picture of this beautiful helpless baby, lying there with tubes hanging everywhere, one couldn’t help but seriously question the unconscionable, heinous act of an abortionist dissecting an innocent, helpless baby and selling its body parts on the market. This is what happens at Planned Parenthood!

Thank you, Jimmy Kimmel, for providing us a visual of an innocent baby and how it should be loved and cared for!

Instead, 10,000 babies are aborted per year in Minnesota alone, before they have a chance to see the light of day, or be loved or cared for. Approximately 50 percent of all abortions are paid for with our tax money!

What will it take for the Democrats in Congress to wake up and work with President Trump on defunding Planned Parenthood?

Although the new GOP Health Care Plan just passed in the House, it still must be approved by the skeptical Senate. The new Health Care Plan will block federal payments to Planned Parenthood for one year, but we still have a long way to go to eradicate abortion entirely.

Thanks to President Trump, we are very fortunate to have Neil Gorsuch confirmed as a member of the Supreme Court, with no help from the opposition party.

We welcome the repeal and replace of Obamacare, which was in the works for seven years. We are still anxiously awaiting the reversal of taking a human life, ABORTION, which has been in the works for 40+ years.

Our hope and prayers are in the Lord to inspire President Trump and his administration to overturn the evil in our world.
