The latest dilemma that some states are facing is the Reproductive Healthcare Act. It was supposed to simplify the language to help physicians, patients, and healthcare providers regarding abortions. The argument is that no one has a right to tell a woman what to do with her body. 

We are taking into consideration that not all pregnancies are conceived through love. The concerns are how botched abortions are handled. First and foremost, life exists thru man and woman and each produces a special component that exists in each one. In some relationships, pregnancies may happen and the male steps up to the plate. Remember that is part of his blood and genes that is a part of that new life. He will not be allowed to have a decision on that baby’s future.

When one of the sponsors (politicians) was questioned if the baby could be aborted while until the ninth month, the answer was, “yes”. At that point, I thought I was in the Twilight Zone. After this comment, she tried to backtrack.

There are so many holes in this bill that are questionable and do nothing to address the problem. All I know is that we were all created the same way and we all have faults. 

I recognize that every circumstance is different and we are not here to judge anyone. The language of this law allows generalization and the ones who are most vulnerable have no rights.

No matter whichever side you are on, all I know is that the way the law stands now is horrendous. Confessed murderers get more respect than these innocent lives. C.M.
