Letters to the Editor: What Republicans aren't doing that would truly respect life (via latimesopinion )
The abortion issue hurt Republicans in 2022. So why would they double down in 2024?According to the Guttmacher Institute, women seeking an abortion tend to be ethnic minorities and low-income. Preventing these women from obtaining reproductive services simply means more and more people vying for low-wage jobs. There will always be such jobs, and Republicans are creating a never-ending loop of bodies to be exploited.
If they were so concerned about the sanctity of life, they would improve the feeding, clothing and education of these children.Life begins when the human egg is fertilized. Calling the unborn less than human is what some people did in Europe last century. All people of reproductive age should act responsibly to end abortion, not just Republicans. Globally, we are killing millions of people per year.It’s been a few years since I took political science in college, but if memory serves, I believe the difference between Democrats and Republicans was stated as Democrats want more and larger government intrusion in our lives, while Republicans supposedly want less.
How can that be reconciled with the Republican Party’s desire to have government interfere with an individual’s decision regarding abortion? I personally disagree with abortion, but in no way do I consider it my right to force my choices on someone else.
