Dear Mr. President,
On November 5, 2014, you spoke in a news conference about the results of the 2014 midterm elections.
In it, you made a curious statement. You said, “So, to everyone who voted, I want you to know that I hear
you. To the twothirds of voters who chose not to participate in the process yesterday, I hear you, too.”
Do you, in fact, hear the voices of those who did not vote? If that’s true, Mr. President, then truly you
possess an extraordinary ability.
Of those who did vote, the message gives you a clear directive for your final two years in office. Prolife
sentiment is swelling in America, and it is time for you to protect the child in the womb and the mothers who
will be wounded by abortion.
But I join with you now in considering those who didn’t vote — people you claim to be able to hear.
On Thursday, January 22, we will remember
the 42
nd anniversary of the national tragedy
known as Roe v. Wade. We arrive at this
horrific milestone with a swell of prolife
sentiment among the American people. New
prolife leaders have been elected to Congress
and all around the nation with the goal of giving
a clear voice to the majority of Americans. No
one can argue with the shift that has taken
place.
Mr. President, will you hear the voices of the
most marginalized, disenfranchised people
group in the nation?
I call on you, President Obama, to hear the voices of those who didn’t vote. Hear the voices of those who
have no voice to defend themselves. Mr. President, let the results of this election lead you to hear the
voices of the children in the womb.
We, the prolife majority of America, are the voice for these voiceless. We are the vote for those who
cannot vote. The changing leadership of this country reflects a prevailing opinion growing throughout the
nation — it’s time to protect the preborn and the mothers who would be wounded by the tragedy of
abortion.
Coinciding with the somber anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the House of Representatives will vote on H.R. 36:
The PainCapable Unborn Child Protection Act.
I can think of no clearer opportunity for you and other elected leaders to hear the voice of the child in the
womb. Will you recognize their silent screams of pain caused by dismemberment during abortion? Surely
as compassionate Americans, regardless of party affiliation and loyalties, we can agree that it is barbaric to
subject the paincapable baby in the womb to torture.
I join with countless prolife Americans in 2015 and call for the United States Senate to protect the most
helpless among us.
Mr. President, you say you can hear the voice of the people who did not vote in the last election. I call on
you now to hear the voice of the child in the womb. The majority of Americans have made it clear that we
will not settle for anything less.
I anticipate more pieces of lifesaving legislation will be heading to your desk soon. I urge you to honor the
voices of those who did vote in the recent election and hear the voices of preborn Americans.
Sincerely,
Matthew Lockett
