letter to the editor

We own our bodies

Dear Editor:

Overturning Roe v. Wade would be a disaster for women’s rights. Pro choice does not mean pro abortion. We own our bodies in total and should have the ability to make our own decisions. It should be private, between us and our consciences.

Women will still have abortions but yet again be forced into the back alleys with coat hangers. We cannot be set back to the 1960s because of the opinions of men who do not have a uterus.

Historically, there are fewer abortions when Democrats are in power.
