Changes in abortion laws save babies’ lives and mothers from regret

Editor:

Leaving aside the typos (“ego-concentrism”[sic]), the logic fallacies (i.e., ad hominem, Trump – “open marriage is his”), the stereotyping (MAGA = “Nazis”) and the scapegoating (“MAGA appeals to hate and religion to further divide and distract”) in Mr. Cropsey’s Feb. 29th letter to the Hub, we can not allow, good sir, your comment about women to go unchallenged.

Women (and men) are made in the image and likeness of God.  Women are blessed with the incredible gift of bearing the most vulnerable of us – precious babies – in their wombs.  Thankfully, the “current post-Roe laws about women’s bodies and pregnancy” are beginning to change in over half of the states because of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision.

These changes are being promulgated by state legislatures thereby ensuring the principles of subsidiarity and federalism are upheld. These states are not “killing woman[sic].”  Nor are these pro-life changes in any way similar to “honor rape, or forcing girls to undergo female castration.”  How dare you draw such blatant false equivalence.

Rather, these new laws are saving babies’ lives and saving more and more women from a lifetime of regret should they choose abortion.

As Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta clearly said:

“Abortion kills twice. It kills the body of the baby and it kills the conscience of the mother.  Abortion is profoundly anti-women. Three quarters of its victims are women: half the babies and all the mothers.”
