A Christian Speaks out AGAINST 'his own'

Don't know if many have read this, but here is something sent to me, which says 'we' are not all the same-


" Dear Editor: The sad passing of Chad Simon, who died as a result of catastrophic injuries sustained while serving our country in Iraq, has been seized upon by Pro-Life Wisconsin in its never-ending attempt to interfere in the private lives of families even as they live through their darkest hours.

The good people of the hospice who cared for Chad in the eight months since his tragic encounter with a roadside bomb have now suffered the indignity of being initially labeled "murderers" by these radicals, as if the hospice staff and the Simon family had not done everything in their power to care for him in the most loving and humane way possible.

That such people as Chad's caregivers, who live in the midst of constant suffering and with the ever-present prospect of imminent death, all the while ministering to patient and family alike, should be insulted like this by a group claiming to be Christians is unfathomable.

We condemn such abusive language used against Chad's caregivers in the strongest possible terms as being the very antithesis of the Gospel of Jesus Christ......"

2. Very moving tribute to Chad while lambasting the 'pro-life' hypocrites
and I think I shall never again forget that Madison is the capital of Wisconsin, cause I looked to see the name of the paper..because the names of the on line reports matters to me...and I saw the 'Capital' thanks!

3. It's important to me, too!
The fundies in this country are no better than osama and his ilk in another country(wherever that is)..using "religion" to incite for their own agenda.

I bet those ones calling the hospice workers "murderers" were the first on the band wagon to go kill Iraqis?!
