Abortion v birth control

Dear Editor,

Tell me what I am missing here. All I hear these days is abortion, abortion, abortion.

We have had birth control pills for many years and they are readily available and dirt cheap. They are much safer than having to go through an abortion. Wouldn’t most women rather take a pill daily than having to go through an abortion?

First off, many years ago a stupid democrap SCOTUS made a dumb decision to make abortion a federal issue. Abortion was and never has been a constitutional issue to begin with. And now all the states are coming up with timelines of 12 to 16 weeks.

All this women’s rights crap and it should not be an issue at all to even begin with.

No one, not one single person, politician or doctor, news media is even making mention of any of this.

The issue of abortion should not even exist because there’s no need for them.

So what am I missing here?

Don Heck
