Regarding the letter, “Pick candidates who protect life”: the author asks in regard to a woman’s right to choose, “… choose to do what?” A woman has the right to choose whether or not to carry a pregnancy to term, period. He further asserts that only God can “ignite the spark of life.” I respect his rights to these feelings, although it is one that is not supported by science.
However, the author doesn’t speak for me, nor millions of others like me who believe in the right of choice for women. I will never vote for a candidate who seeks to restrict those rights that women have had since Roe v. Wade and I would urge all other voters not to either.
