Letter: Don’t force reproductive health beliefs on women
What a travesty. There should be no “battle” for women’s bodies. (“Battle for women’s bodies,” Star-Advertiser, Insight, March 3). They are ours and ours alone. No old man in Washington, D.C. (or Florida, Alabama or Texas) should ever have the right to tell me what my body can or cannot do. No one but me, and maybe my health care provider.
If you want a baby, go ahead and have one; if you don’t want one, don’t have one. Keep your beliefs to yourself. It should be this simple.
However, Donald Trump, his supporters, and his packed Supreme Court are destroying women’s autonomy. It’s all about control.
Remember the old saying, “barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen”? It’s no longer just an old saying, and it makes me so sad.
