Arizonans want limits on abortion, Prop 139 goes too far

Pam Wanner2 years ago2 years ago4 mins

Dear Editor,

Abortion is legal in Arizona up to 15 weeks and beyond for medical emergencies. So, Arizonans voting on Prop 139 are not choosing between abortion or no abortion; they are choosing between abortion with limits and safety precautions – or unlimited, unregulated abortion, without doctor or parental oversight.

If the abortion amendment fails to pass, abortion will continue to be legal up to nearly four months of pregnancy, and basic safety regulations will remain in place. If it passes, prepare to see commonsense regulations fall as abortion takes priority over women’s health and safety.

The pot calling the kettle black

Dear Editor,

I am the parent of six and with 12 grandkids. I will be the first to say it matters neither way if someone has children or not. It’s just not a kitchen table topic for more Americans.

But it is for J.D. Vance. He obsesses about procreating like a mother-in-law craving a grandbaby. It’s just weird. He’s been name-calling women like a bully on a playground. “Childless cat ladies,” and accusing those without children to be less capable in leadership positions.

I’ve known smart people with kids and the dumbest with kids, and it’s just dumb and small-minded to think the way J.D. does.

Dear Editor,

Weather permitting …. come join other peace-loving citizens at Locomotive Park in an awesome testimony in support of peace at the International Day of Peace observance on Saturday, September 21, from 11:30 – 2:00! This non-partisan Kingman event features this year’s international theme which is Cultivating a Culture of Peace. There will be a traditional bell ringing ceremony at noon, coinciding with others worldwide to create a symbolic wave of peace to coincide with the opening of the UN.

Dear Editor,

Just like Donald J. Trump, my Father’s brother was clipped in the ear by a Japanese sniper during WWII. Miracles are all around us with the known and unknown, and some make good with those miracles and some don’t, and Trump didn’t. He said his brush with death made him a changed man.

He said he was going to play nice and reunite the country. But instead, he went right back to his hate rhetoric and divisiveness. Just another promise of his that hit the dust.

Wake up, America

Dear Editor,

Hamas executed seven hostages because they knew Israel’s IDF was coming to rescue them. Shooting someone in the back of the head at close range is an execution. Why then are people all over the world blaming Israel for everything?

It is Israel’s fault because Hamas will not negotiate a peace. Why would Hamas negotiate a peace when the whole world is backing them on their massacre of the Jews/Israelis on October 7 as well as blaming the Jews/Israelis for being massacred.
