Congressman (PA) Pat Toomey recently responded to an email I sent him in asking him to side with Christians globally against abortion under ANY circumstance. He said he is for keeping abortion legal, keeping legal the brutal and painful murder of innocent children legal. SO I sent him this:
“In my 36 years in pediatric surgery I’ve never -known of one instance where the child had to be aborted to save the mother’s life”
-US Surgeon General 1982-89 C. Everett Koop
Mr. Toomey, you said you were for keeping abortion legal to “save a mother’s life”. But now that you have read a QUOTE from a SURGEON GENERAL and 36 year Pediatric Surgeon; Now that you have this EMPIRICAL evidence that Abortion is NEVER necessary for saving a mother’s life, please BAN IT as the MURDER it is.
I await your response,

Dear Patrick,
Thank you for contacting my office. I appreciate your taking the time to share your thoughts about current issues. Please be assured that constituent correspondence will receive a reply in the near future.
Sincerely,
Pat Toomey
U.S. Senator, Pennsylvania
Thank you for contacting me about Dr. Vivek Murthy, the nominee for U.S. Surgeon General. I appreciate hearing from you.
As you may know, on January 6, 2014, President Obama nominated Mr. Murthy to be the U.S. Surgeon General. I believe that the Senate’s constitutional role in providing advice and consent for federal appointments is important, and such nominees deserve careful and thorough consideration. I take this responsibility seriously and have supported – and will continue to support – well qualified nominees selected by the President.
That said, the Surgeon General is the most prominent government spokesperson on matters of public health and is responsible for overseeing more than 6,700 uniformed members of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. Dr. Murthy has had a relatively short career in medicine that is rather lacking on public health issues for a position of this stature. Instead, Dr. Murthy, as the president of a partisan political organization, has been an active promoter of ObamaCare — a law that I believe is fundamentally wrong in its approach to improving our nation’s health care system. Dr. Murthy also has advocated for policies that would erode our important Second Amendment rights. For these reasons, I will oppose Dr. Murthy’s nomination for Surgeon General.
Thank you again for your correspondence. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future if I can be of assistance.
Sincerely,
Pat Toomey
U.S. Senator, Pennsylvania
