Also: If religion is the main reason for some people’s abortion beliefs, then why give...
," : This New York Times article published on your Wednesday opinion page sums up how we got to our present unacceptable position and away from the middle ground supported and endorsed by most of the U.S. population. My wife and I have been married for 58 years and came to the U.S. from England. When we had our first child we needed to ensure that our gynecologist was not Catholic.
We both think that abortion should be permitted to save the life of the mother, in cases of rape and incest, and in cases where the embryo is deformed or a baby would be born with severe mental or physical defects. But neither of us supports abortion as an elective method of birth control, which is exactly what this article seems to be about. A student in her early 20s who lives in Texas panicked because she felt it wasn't the right time for her to have a child.
So the tragedy is that after Roe v. Wade, abortion became available as a method of elective birth control. My wife and I would never march on the streets in support of either side of the debate, but people who have strong views against abortion as a method of elective birth control have no other choice but to encourage and pass anti-abortion legislation, as we have done in Texas.Cyril E.
