Freedom of choice should extend to unborn children

On February 12, 2009October 4, 2023
Dorothy Reed, Platteville

To the editor:

I am writing in regards to this Freedom of Choice Act. I think it’s rather confusing. It seems that this man and woman who are seeking an abortion have already spent their choice of freedom. Now does the act get extended to their little being that she is carrying?

It sure seems practical that it would or could be extended to that little bundle since she, he, or they should have the same right to the Freedom of Choice Act as their parents did, that being life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness that is guaranteed in the Declaration of Independence.

So why shouldn’t the little innocent child be covered with the same Freedom of Choice that is promised them coming their way?

I pray that there’ll be an end to all abortions today or sooner!

Dorothy Reed, Platteville
