Open Letter To Vito Fossella

Dear Congressman Fossella:

In light of the serious controversy you are experiencing, I would like to clearly point out something that has been overlooked that you deserve to be credited for, and that is the fact that you supported Retired Air Force Col Fay’s decision to allow her baby to live, and that you have been involved in your child’s life.

All too often, men in power expect and pressure women to terminate their unborn children’s lives in order to spare them the embarrassment of the scrutiny of an extra-marital affair. Your concern and care for your child was apparently the prompting cause for the events that led to the arrest and public scrutiny of your life that followed.
