The letter in the August 28 edition of the paper, that advocated incorporating specific religious beliefs with the law of the land, missed a number of points. Nobody wants to use surgical abortion as their standard method of contraception.

If all forms of contraception were readily available to everyone there would be no unwanted pregnancies, but the pro-life hard core argue that contraception is wrong because it keeps pregnancy from occurring. Young girls don’t have easy pregnancies so forcing a thirteen year-old victim of rape to carry her pregnancy to term greatly endangers the life of the mother.

A young rape victim is a CHILD. Also, separating infants, toddlers and children from their parents and locking them in cages, where they are denied basic hygiene and forced to sleep on concrete floors under tinfoil sheets would be felony CHILD abuse if it was committed by an individual, so it should be seen as that if it is committed by the Pro-Life Republican Party. Although, America has made progress over the centuries the nation is still plagued by its original sins of racism and sexism.

In the year 2019 the federal government is partially controlled by a party that practices racist child abuse at the southern border and wants to take away a woman’s right to control her body. Let’s keep the momentum of the last election going so America can be governed humanely.
