Abortion laws being written with little knowledge

Published 1:30 am Thursday, August 18, 2022

It is beyond comprehension how abortion rights opponents feel they can interfere with the private lives and health of girls, women and, by extension, men; everywhere.

They usually are not physicians, rabbis, ministers or priests. They are not educated in the ramifications of pregnancy and its possible dangers to female and fetus, e.g. fetal encephalitis, ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, plus rape and incest and the resulting horrible trauma. The overturning or Roe v. Wade opens the door to future wrongs against the rights of U.S. citizens.

Outrage is too pacific a word to describe what is happening now in our country with our justice system and our political democracy due to right-wing extremists and believers. I would suggest they re-study the Constitution, Bill of Rights and American history.
