The FRC tells me to oppose abortion (again)

Today I received another email from the FRC (Family Research Council) imploring me to oppose abortion (which is not a surprise):

I want to encourage you to contact your Representative and urge them to support passage of the “Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act” (H.R. 36) sponsored by Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.)and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn).This legislation is essential to stopping late abortion. It would also help stop so-called doctors, like the now imprisoned Dr. Kermit Gosnell, who are willing to allow babies be born alive to more easily kill them if the abortion doesn’t work. Tragically, this problem goes way beyond Gosnell in Philadelphia.

They go on to cite the work of Dr. Kanwaljeet Anand who is an ideological quack. It would be nice if these assholes cared about people (i.e., someone who was actually born) as much as they care about fetuses.

I used their embedded link to contact my member of Congress to say the following:

H.R. 36 is sponsored by ignorant theocrats who want to impose their religious dogma on everyone. Please vote against passage of the “Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act” (H.R. 36) sponsored by Rep. Representatives Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.).
