The reference in John Morgan’s Nov. 22 column (“Follow the right vision”) to “a woman’s right to choose for herself when it comes to control over her own body” is the same old, tired line used by those who argue for the legalization of abortion.
No one would deny a woman’s right to control her own body, as it is her body, but when she becomes pregnant, there is “another body” involved, in particular, another person’s body.
A fundamental right we should all be able to enjoy is the right to life, as stated in our founding document, the Declaration of Independence, which applies just as much to the unborn as it does to those who have already been born. No, the U.S. Supreme Court did not “take away” the so-called “right to choose” abortion, as it was never a right to begin with. The court was wrong when it decided on Roe v. Wade, and its decision to reverse it was the right thing to do.
