dear GOP

Dear GOP Representative,
I am writing you today to apologize for my existence. I am heartily sorry that my being born with Crohns is such a burden to the profit margin of the insurance companies who have had the misfortune to pay for my care over the years. Those shareholders need another vacation home not to pay for my needs. Goodness knows 500,000 dollars per year plus bonuses is not nearly enough for a CEO to survive on. I can only plead ignorance as to which immoral actions I had taken as a fetus resulted in my birth defect. I assure you I am very contrite.
My mother would also like to offer her sincere apology for not seeking a back-alley abortion. In her defense, in 1966 there was no way to know that I had it prior to my birth. It was also pre-Roe vs Wade. It is entirely my fault that my desire to live outweighed their desire to see me perish.
I apologize for my work as a teacher for over the past 20 years. Caring for others is not nearly enough of a contribution to society to offset the cost of my own care. I am so sorry that my inner strength is such that I continue to live and not die
I feel so badly I would like to rectify this. What would you suggest? Suicide?

They (the gop) do not want you to commit suicide...that's too painless, they prefer you live in misery for as long as you can endure it!

Remember they are against assisted suicide cause god or something?

P.S. Live to take down these MONSTERS...there is no other word for these scum!

I can't wrap my head around the mental contortions they must go through. Abortion bad. Allowing a newborn to die due to lack of insurance OK.
