ABORTION: There is another choice

In a letter titled “Farewell: To our ‘more perfect union’” the author writes that “… women’s rights are stripped away…” and proceeds to outline a dark future, comparing life in this vision to that of an Afghani under the present regime.

Focusing on the statement regarding “women’s” rights it is worth remembering that this particular issue regards the natural consequences of two people exercising their right to live as they please. Many will ask about those instances where free choice was not the case, yet the majority of abortions are entirely elective, having nothing to do with the notion of “forced birth,” the current en vogue phrase. So it follows that perhaps the right choice for many people, men and women both, is to keep their drawers on?
