Fuck You Arrogant Male Politicians
May. 3rd, 2010 12:54 amAN OPEN LETTER TO STEVE CRISAFULLY OF FLORIDA RE: ABORTION RESTRICTIONS IN HEALTHCARE
From: Joreth
Sent: Wed 4/28/2010 8:09 PM
To: Crisafulli, Steve
Subject: Oppose HB 1143: Leave Medical Decisions to Doctors and their Patients
Representative Steve Crisafulli
House Office Building
402 South Monroe Street, Room 317
Tallahassee, FL 32399-0001
Dear Representative Crisafulli,
HB 1143 as amended would strip doctors of their ability to act in the best interest of their patients, and would force physicians to perform ultrasounds even when it goes against their professional medical judgment. Additionally, the bill as amended would restrict businesses that receive tax credits from providing their employees with health insurance that covers abortion, even if they don't use federal or state subsidies to purchase their plans. Florida women and families need health care, not politics as usual. Please oppose HB 1143.
Sincerely,
Joreth

Dear Joreth,
Thank you for contacting me to express your opposition to the amended version of HB 1143. As your State Representative, I appreciate learning of your concerns. While I understand your concerns about the amendments to HB 1143, I am strongly pro-life and support the amended version of HB 1143. I believe it is appropriate to provide women with all of the available information about their pregnancy so that they are empowered to make the most informed decision regarding an abortion. Moreover, denying public funding for abortion has been a widely upheld precedent for many years in our country. I believe that the amendment addressing that issue further reinforces that practice.
Again, thank you for contacting me. Please let me know if I may be of future assistance.
Respectfully,
Steve
Steve,
It was also a precedent to endorse slavery in this country for a long time. "Because we've done it before" is not a good enough reason to continue doing anything.
If you truly want to provide women with all the available information and "empower" them, then removing, limiting or reducing the ability to have an abortion is the exact opposite.
Your "pro-life" stance is anti-woman, and as a woman voter, you will not have my vote for any future election.
You can be of future assistance by stepping down from office and removing yourself from a position in which you make sweeping decisions that affect fully half of the people you represent when you clearly do not have their best interests in mind.
You do not represent me, and my future voting record will reflect that. I am also posting this entire exchange in my online journal, where everyone else I know in Florida will read your anti-woman stance.
Sincerely,
Joreth
Florida Voter

Joreth,
Thank you for your response. While I am sorry to learn of your disappointment with my vote, I will not compromise my pro-life stance.
Respectfully,
Steve
Of course you won't compromise your stance. Why bother yourself with the lives and welfare of women? Do not bother to respond, I do not wish to see your name in my inbox ever again. Even the sight of your name makes me sick to know there are people like you making decisions that affect my life and those of the lives of the women I care about. I will be making it a priority to vote you out of office for all future elections so that you cannot harm any more women than you have already harmed.
Disrespectfully,
Joreth
