To the Editor:
I want to see a law in Michigan to ban partial birth abortions. Too many doctors have publically stated that partial birth abortions are never needed to save the life of a mother. Both women and children deserve better than this brutal abortion method. I stand with Right to Life of Michigan and our prolife lawmakers in support of a Michigan partial birth abortion ban.
Sincerely,

To the Editor:
Partial birth abortion is the most cruel and barbaric abortion procedure ever conceived. Every abortion ends the life of a unique individual. Now is the time to pass a Michigan law banning partial birth abortions. Now is the time to protect children who are in the process of being born and inches away from life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Sincerely,

To the Editor:
We need to protect vulnerable members of the human family, especially children who are in the process of being born. Members of the Michigan House and Senate have an opportunity to place a state ban on partial birth abortion. It's time for the people of Michigan to stand up for what is right - the protection of human life - and put a partial birth abortion ban on Michigan's law books.
Sincerely,
