An open letter to Glenn Nye, a man running for Congressman of Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District:

Mr. Nye,

I would have no problem voting for you, except for one issue. You have consistently affirmed that you “support a woman’s right to choose” whether to kill her baby or not.

The Declaration of Independence says that some truths are self-evident, and don’t require any digging to expose them. First among these is the right to Life. Everyone has the right to live. It is inconceivable to me that a man of faith as yourself would be unable to see this self-evident right of all humans, whether in the womb or out of it.

I believe this blindness to such a prominent self-evident truth is the result of corruption in our nation. The proper remedy to this corruption is repentance. This idea is summed up in the Proclamation For a Day of National Humiliation, Fasting & Prayer, by Abraham Lincoln:

“We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us!

It behooves us then, to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.”

I pray that you would recognize the truth in President Lincoln’s proclamation, and realize the unspeakable horror that is the result of the mass murder of over 52 million human children over the last 35 years. This realization can only end in repentance for our own culpability in this tragedy.

Thank you for your time and service to our country.

Sincerely,
Nathan DeWitt
