Dear Dr. [Redacted],

I am writing this letter to inform you of my two weeks' notification of resignation from my position in the office upon my return to work from my vacation. I have tried to talk to you repeatedly in the office, but to no success, for time has not allowed it and I realize you are a very busy man.

The reasons for my leaving are I have come to a realization that I must follow God's laws and that a baby at the time of conception is a life and thus abortion is murder.

After hearing the heart beats of unborn babies I cannot continue to accept the reasons that it is not wanted or that it is better for a baby to die than to be born and live in this world. It is not for man to decide according God's laws.

Isn't that what orphanages are for? God created this world for a man to live in anyway and your own life is what you make it. God created man with a free will and this is taking a baby's right to chose when he's at an age to choose anyway. To me babies are a blessing from God, a life that God by his power, has allowed to come to be.

When I see how man has cheapened life it is very distressing to me because my Lord Christ Jesus came to save it and died so that we could experience life much more abundantly. It should not be taken for granted. It is not a right or privlege we have achieved ourselves. It is something God has allowed and given us, and God could call us home any time he chooses. It's not for us to decide.

When I think of all the mothers that have come in the office since the time I was hired to the present time now and have had abortions it lays very hard on my heart because I know it's wrong and they know it's a life also. I now understand what the Bible means when it says that "Mother shall rise up against child..." It is also the breaking of the 5th commandment alike(?) which says that we should not kill.

Isn't it also a doctor's duty to do everything in his power to save life? I always though that this was taught in medical school.

Maybe I'm wrong but this is the decision that the Holy Spirit has inspired me to come to.

I want to thank you because of all you've done for me. I have been able to increase my knowledge my knowledge in life and in the medical field. You have been one of the best employers a person can have. Thank you for hiring me. I hope I haven't let you down. I still respect you very much, but I cannot continue to work for you because of this one area which in my heart and because of what womanhood and motherhood means to me I cannot agree with you on.

If I was a different person raised in a different home I can honestly say in my heart I would feel the very same way.

I could not have a clearly settled mind, conscious, and heart if I continued working at this job. I have written some references to verses that have inspired me to come to my decision among many others I could have also listed. I hope that you as my Christian brother will look them up. Maybe then you could understand more clearly this thing I have to do and why.

Thank You again. I will pray too that the good Lord will always keep you in his care. I will never forget you or anybody in the office. You all mean a great deal to me.

                                                    Prayers & Best Wishes Always,
