TO THE EDITOR:
With regard to the ladies’ letter on Roe v. Wade, I respectfully disagree with the writers.
Regardless of Carolina Students For Life’s limited thought process, seemingly stymied by their religion, it is a woman’s body. She carries the baby, she has to live with the baby and therefore, it is her right to choose.
No one that I can think of is “pro-abortion.” However, if it comes to that, it is her decision and frankly, no one has the right to tell her what to do with her body. She lives with the consequences. This is a free country where we have the freedom to choose. The writers of the letter and their group are not the judge and jury.
Perhaps if our society did more to promote sex education and contraception, this would reduce abortions. If a woman makes a mistake and an abortion is her last resort, then so be it. As far as I am concerned, it is none of our businesses. That is why in this country, abortion is legal.
