Dear Senator McCaskill:
I want to thank you for your vote to defend women's health and against the so-called “religious freedom” that the Catholics are talking about. Making sure that the population of the United States can be placated with all the recreational sex they need is definitely more important than the ancient “consciences” of the leaders of a religion that professes to represent 23.9% of the population of the country (Note 1). It is imperative that women be able to quash the next generation of themselves. In China, for instance, where sex-selective abortion is available, there are 1.18 boys born for every female.
Your vote is also an excellent way to make sure that the Catholics damn themselves no matter what course of action they take. You see, if they comply with the new regulations, then they are committing mortal sin by monetarily subsidizing another mortal sin (non-procreative sex). They can try escaping the regulation by ceasing to provide health insurance for the employees of their parachurch organizations, but by doing that, they don't do something they see as good that is within their power. According to their scriptures, in James 4:17, “So for one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, it is a sin.” The same passage condemns them if they close down their hospitals or other charitable organizations, for if they cease to serve the poor (St. Luke's Health System in Kansas City dedicates almost $90 million to charitable actions yearly), they are no longer acceptable to their God. You've outsmarted them—they will be condemned to the fires of Hell if they do any of these, and if they just don't provide coverage for contraception, abortifacients, and sterilization, then the large fines they'll pay will fill the nation's coffers, a definite win for the government!
I also want to commend you on your 100% rating by NARAL Pro-Choice America (Note 2). Along with Emanuel Cleaver, my Representative, you give your unwavering support to organizations like Planned Parenthood (Note 3). Their founder, Margaret Sanger, had a vision where the world would be full of the best and brightest, without the baggage and deadweight of such people as African Americans and “morons.” Let me remind you of some of her great wisdom:
We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.
And also:
Our failure to segregate morons who are increasing and multiplying ... demonstrates our foolhardy and extravagant sentimentalism ... [Philanthropists] encourage the healthier and more normal sections of the world to shoulder the burden of unthinking and indiscriminate fecundity of others; which brings with it, as I think the reader must agree, a dead weight of human waste. Instead of decreasing and aiming to eliminate the stocks that are most detrimental to the future of the race and the world, it tends to render them to a menacing degree dominant ... We are paying for, and even submitting to, the dictates of an ever-increasing, unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should have been born at all. (Note 4)
Again, thank you for continuing her proud legacy of negative eugenics. Minorities are outlandishly over-represented in the number of abortions they procure. Black women in 2010 accounted for 12.2% of the female population (Note 5), but obtained 36.4% of abortions in the US in 2006 (Note 6).
In conclusion, this letter has been a satire. I intend to remind you, Senator, of your vote against the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which states that Congress shall not “prohibit the free exercise [of religion].” By refusing the conscience exemption to the regulations recently issued by Secretary Sebelius, you are overturning more than two centuries of our nation's tradition of toleration of religious minorities, only asking that they perform their rituals in a safe and sanitary manner. Protections from government encroachment must not be breached. I am disappointed in your vote, Senator, and desire to hear your explanation of why you wish to force your fellow citizens to violate their religion's laws and their own consciences by buying items they view as abhorrent.
Your constituent,
Roger Cook
