Why abortion? This is about controlling women, not saving life


To the editor: I’m at all times amazed on the lack of consistency on the a part of “pro-life” advocates. In the event that they’re actually so involved about guaranteeing any and each being pregnant ends in delivery, why haven’t they moved to limit males from getting vasectomies? (“Hold on to the capsule and your IUD: After abortion, contraception is the following struggle,” Opinion, April 12)

If girls can’t shed an undesirable being pregnant, then males shouldn’t be capable of stop their sperm from inflicting one. Truthful is truthful, and equal remedy is supposedly constitutionally protected.

Certain, all of that is loopy, however let’s be trustworthy and admit that each one of that is about controlling girls. Interval.

To the editor: I’m pro-choice, however I can not perceive why many individuals who favor abortion rights don’t acknowledge that these towards abortion usually consider it’s homicide, and controlling girls’s our bodies is way much less of a problem.

Till the primary concern is addressed, the controversy will persist.

Moreover, some pro-choice advocates favor abortion at any fetal age. The issue with even a partial compromise is similar drawback we see in immigration reform and gun management: All sides doesn’t belief the opposite, as a result of some individuals do certainly wish to ban weapons, and a few individuals do certainly need open borders.

In both case this isn’t the bulk, but it surely’s sufficient to make the opposite facet afraid of giving in on something.

To the editor: Robin Abcarian’s column on the risk to contraception entry is worthy and provoking. However, I don’t agree that “girls of childbearing age in the USA ought to be very, very afraid.”

Quite, girls ought to be very, very offended, to allow them to rise up and scream on the prime of their lungs.

Girls ought to be very, very offended, to allow them to protest towards others who would take away their freedoms.

Girls ought to be very, very offended, to allow them to transfer ahead with dedication and energy to finish this struggle towards us all.

To the editor: When the federal decide in Texas who dominated towards mifepristone’s authorization mentions an “unborn baby,” he’s purposely misrepresenting the fetus. He ought to be calling it an “unborn disrespectful teenager.”
