To the Editor,
Taxpayer funded abortion is currently being considered by the legislature in RI. WHY?
The “poor” have had access to abortion since 1973. In fact abortion clinics were placed in poorer neighborhoods precisely to encourage them to seek abortions. That was the intent of the original founders of NARAL and Planned Parenthood who disdained the poor and felt they had no business procreating.
Pro-life people support families with their own money so they can keep their children. Shouldn’t pro-abortion people do the same? If there is so much concern for the “poor” among them, they need to put their money where their mouth is and support these women that they claim cannot afford abortions on their own. The state need not be involved. For nearly 50 years anyone who has wanted an abortion, has had one. So why involve state money now? I suggest that it has nothing to do with need but a desire to force everyone to participate in this never ending blood thirsty industry.
As someone who has worked with post-abortive women for more than twenty years, I can say that coercion and intimidation play a strong part in many abortions. Does the state intend to offer choice to women or to enter into the coercion and intimidation business for women? Or maybe that is the next piece of legislation!
